i want to get a new scope for my 243win. my limit is $200 and i found these 3 scopes that i like:

1. Leupold VX-I 3-9-40x
2. Nikon Prostaff 3-9-40x
3. Bushnell Elite 3200 3-9-40x

thanks.

As an update, the last catalog I got from Natchez Shooters Supplies showed Bushnell Elite 4200's for $184.95. That scope easily outclasses the ones you've listed.

If you haven't bought a scope yet, I'd give them a call.

What 4200 did you see for 184??

Any of the 3 would work. I like the 3200 I have been using quite a bit. I would also support taking a look at the Burris FF II as well.

Spend the extra $20 and get the Monarch. It is far better than the others.

The elite all the way. Yes I have those other two. I am a hardcore leupy fan, but thats a crappy scope, VX1 that is.

I now own 3 elites, and very happy with them all. I also have owned probably a dozen leupys and happy with them too, but they are Vari X IIIs. I recently bought a nikon monarch and pretty happy with it too.
