bushnell vs leupold
i am looking at buying a new scope for my deer rifle. i have done a bunch of reseach on some of the top brands but i wanted to ask some one who has used both bushnell and leupold. i have looked through both and do not see a big difference except the price. i found both of them on suppliesforhunting.com at good prices and free shipping so i know where i am going to buy i just wanted to know if the price of the leupold is worth it . will it last longer or hold zero better in extreme conditions or is it a case of paying for the name.

RE: bushnell vs leupold
IMO the difference isn't as noticeable in most situations. Where you'll see a ig difference is in low light situations. I've hunted with both, and the Leupold performs much better in low light.

If you are certain those are the 2 choices you made, go with the Leupold. You will never regret it when conditions get very bad. It holds up better, won't fog, and will take punishment from heavy recoil or tough hunting.

RE: bushnell vs leupold
Where the Leupold will shine is low light, heavy recoil, foggy & bad weather. I have a Bushell on my .22 and it is fine, but on my Hi power rifles and slug guns I go with Leupolds.

Leupold you will not regret it.

RE: bushnell vs leupold
Well if its between a Bushnell and a Leupold. Leupold wins hands down. But there are alot of other scopes out there to look at.
|
RE: bushnell vs leupold
Which Leupold? At the same price Bushnell will be a better scope? If you are comparing a $250 Leupold to a $250 Bushnell, the Bushnell would be much better. At $500, Leupold might be same or better depending on model specifics.

RE: bushnell vs leupold
No matter HOW GOOD bushnells get,I'll never have anything with bushnell name on it again. This after fighting with customer service/warranty several times without satisfaction 1 time! However,from everything I hear,and customers,the elite series are good. That being said,the leupold vx3/vari-x3 are darn good proven scopes. If you're going to pay that kind of money,check out zeiss conquest line.

RE: bushnell vs leupold
For the money, I don't know if you can do better than Swift scopes. Plus, should you ever need service, they have a lifetime over the counter replacement warranty. I've shot a lot of scopes, and I like my Swift as well as anything else I've tried.

RE: bushnell vs leupold
Don't grill me to bad, but the Sightron scope I have works well in low light, never fogged up and they have great customer service.
|
RE: bushnell vs leupold
+1 to uwpce. Sightron has great color rendition. I would choose it over either of the other two, but I wasn't given that choice!:D

RE: bushnell vs leupold
No comparison..Leupold is by far better optics. I've seen Bushnell scopes fog up a lot more than most people want to admit. My buddy uses one and nothing but a pain this year in Deer Camp. I told him to get a good scope, he told me it wasn't the scope it was the weather..Funny I never had a fogging problem with my Leupold..

RE: bushnell vs leupold
In low light the Leupold will put the Bushnell to shame. I have never gone cheap on scopes. I have a Bushnell on one of my H&R Ultra Slug guns...but my Leupold on my other H&R is unreal.
I think the dollars spread is about 100 bucks...If it was me I would buy a Leupold. |
RE: bushnell vs leupold
I won't use any more Bushnell products; I use Leupold only.

RE: bushnell vs leupold
I find the Bushnell Elites,brighter in low light than a comparably priced Leupold.I also find them just as durable.
|
RE: bushnell vs leupold
i have a redhead scope on my .22 and it works fine. plus i get alot of compliments on the clarity. but they are both good brands. Just dont go spend a fortune on one cause you can always get one thats pretty good for a decent price.
