Default Bushnell 3200 Elite.

I was checking prices yesterday and saw that the 3200is lower in price than I thought. basicly in the same price range as the leopuld rifleman scopes. I'm wondering if there are any of you out there who own both. What I'm looking at is a 3-9 40 mm

I have two of the elite 3200s.

I've had a 3x9 40 for about two years and a 3x9 50 for about a week. So far so good. They are hard to beat for the money.

That easy the 3200 gets the nod over the rifleman. Good scope and enjoy!

I agree. I would take the Elite 3200 over the Leupold Rifleman any day.

I have owned two elite 3000's and several friends use 3000's and 3200's on rifles chambered for the 7mmremmag and 338win mag.To date there have been no problems with any of them.

The Rifleman don't have the eye relief that the VX's have so the nod goes to the 3200 with the Rainguard coating. I have a 3200 5x15x50 on my varmint rig and am very satisfied with it, would not hesitate to put one on any of my other guns.

In consideration of the "get what you pay for" rule I am sure there are some who wouldn't go for a scope in this price range but to me this is stretching the budget a bit. The scope looked pretty good and the unconditional warranty was impressive too. I think the 3200 will find it's way onto my rifle this year. Gotta make sure I get it on there in plenty of time to practice.
Thanks for the nods guys.

If you can break the cross hairs in a 3200 Bushnell then I feel you are doing something very wrong. I sold and mounted at least a 100 of these without ever seeing or hearing of a broken cross hair. I have only ever seen one broken cross hair in hundreds of scopes and that was a cheap Simmons that I missed tightening the ring screws on a 35 Remington Contender. Just My Expierence though.
