Have a chance to buy a Bushnell 3200 3-9x40 "floor model" at a local gun shop for $152, is that a deal? Sounds good to me. I have a 3-9x50 Bushnell on my favorite rifle and have had great service from this Bushnell and the Bushnell before it, purchased in 1968, now rests on a grandson's rifle (NEF 30-30)

I've got a Burris 3x9X40 Ballistic Plex on my 30-06 BAR.

Heck I still got my weaver 3-9pwr. Had it for over 25yrs. and still working fine.

Browning A-bolt .270 topped with nikon 3-9 40mm.

CZ550 6.5 Swede w/Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40 (great scope, great rifle!)

Ruger M77MkII .30-06 w/Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40 (great scope, rifle is inaccurate/unpredictable POS)

Remington 700BDL w/Bushnell Trophy 3-9x40 (scope ok, rifle FANTASTIC)

Winchester Mod 70 Fwt .243w/Bushnell Trophy 4-12x40 AO (great little rifle, fine scope)

Remington 742 .30-06 w/Bushnell Sportview 3-9x32 (so-so scope even though a cheapie, so-so rifle as far as accuracy)

i would like to have a Leupold or a Zeiss, but i'll have to settle for a bushnell when i get a new one, the others are too expensive. I have the cheap tasco for my .17HMR

I don't know if it's b/c I wear glasses or not, but I can't seem to get comfortable and into my scope unless I have at least 3.75" of eye relief. For that reason, I'm slowyly replacing all my scopes with Leupolds since their the only one that consistently provides that length of eye relief in a package I can afford.

I have 3 Bushnel's and all have served me well. All varible powers that hold a consistant point of aim at all powers. Yes there may be better scopes but if the difference in costs meant 1 less hunting trip I would not be further ahead.

Good Hunting

I have a Remington 700BDL 30.06 topped with a Simmons Aztec 44 Mag scope. Never had a single problem with it. Clear and never fogs.
