BEST $200 Scope?

RE: BEST $200 Scope?
Another option not mentioned is a fixed power scope! You may be able to get a better optically speaking fixed vs a cheaper variable, less to go wrong. Also given the fact many do not change the power setting when hunting, it really doesn't leave you in a hole...except possibly when at the range or if extreme long range or short range situations are the norm. For most average hunting situations a 6 power fixed would suffice.
Just something to think about that may allow you to get better optics for less cake. I may suggest checking ebay or local gun shops for a Redfield or M6 Leupolds. If buying new I would say look at the Weavers or Loopy's, haven't heard much bad about either fixed products! Actually I even own a Tasco in 4 fixed and it is rock solid, something that is rarely said about anything Tasco makes - AKA "TRASHCO"(BTW this scope is 15 years old and see's limited action on a 22 now!)

I can't add much to what the others have recommended. I like my VX-l real well. I have had real good luck with my Swift scopes as well. Best Bang for the BUCK to me though is Bushnell. From the cheapest to the best, never had a problem. I like Luepold rings and bases but have never had a problem in 40+ years with Weaver either.

Does the Bushnell elite 3200 have shock guard?
"The Elite® 3200 offers multi-coated optics for generous light transmission and crisp image quality. To prevent light distortion from moisture, our exclusive, patented Rainguard® lens coating reduces large drops of water into near-microscopic specks. Scattering far less light, their significantly smaller size results in dramatically increased light transmission and a remarkably clearer image in wet weather (including condensation from your own breath). Like the Elite 4200® the Elite 3200 riflescopes also feature ultrastrong, one-piece hammer-forged aluminum and titanium alloy tubes which are 30% stronger than standard aluminum scopes. They are also recoil-tested to 1000 rounds of a .375 H&H Magnum. With 1/4 M.O.A. fingertip, audible/resettable windage and elevation adjustments, the 3200 offers everything the most avid and discriminating hunter requires."
