RE: Bauch @ Lomb 3000 scope ?
Basically same as the Bushnell Elite 3200 series now. Bausch & lomb is the old name, since they are all under bushnell now. I know of 6 people who own this scope now and like them. They come with a lifetime Gaurantee. I would say you'll be pleased and maybe even suprised at the 3000.
I have my 270 with 130 Ballistic Tips sighted in at 2 1/4 high at 100 and around 4 1/4" low at 300. But your best to pick a bullet style and see how it shoots, then shoot it at 100, 200 and 300 to get a feel. Don't go by what the box says, they tend to bit a little inaccurate due to testing in a ballistic lab, etc with the enviromental & gun conditions have no bearing. However it will help in giving you a starting point.

Take a look at www.samplelist.com Bouch & Lomb and Bushnell have been the same company for a long time. They changed the name over because few people knew the B&L name in relation to riffle scopes. You should probably look at the Bushnell elite 3200. I have a B&L 4000 and love it. The new lines with rainguard are the numbered 3200 and 4200. Right now there is even a special that gets you a free Rain Parka with purchase.
