Bushnell Elite 4200
 

The Optic Zone has a Bushell Elite 4200 3x9x40, for $255.00. I believe that Busnell has discontinued this model in favor of the 2.5x10x40. Does anyone have this model, or have an opinion. Seems like a great deal for a 4200.

You better jump on that puppy. The Elite 4200 is a GREAT scope. BTW, I have two.

Great scope for the money.

The 4200's have decent glass. The only problem I have with them is their physical size. They are big and heavy. But if size is not important then they are a decent deal. Tom.

I wouldn't call them big and heavy. They weighs 13 ozs. and are 12.6 inches long. The Rainguard is definitely worth it too. The optical quality is very good for a scope at that price point.

They are an excellent scope but the only drawback I have is their lack of eye relief.

RE: Bushnell Elite 4200
 

Personally I find the 4200 series are longer then most scopes...

In addition to my earlier post I would like to add that dealing with The Optic Zone was a pleasure. I purchased a Nikon Monarch from them and got a great deal and quick shipping. Good people to deal with.

Ok, after much consideration and research, I pulled the trigger and ordered the Elite 4200 3x9x40 today from The Optic Zone. It will go on top of my Savage 10ML-11 muzzleloader.:)

Good choice... I'm sure you will be satisfied.

I bought one from Optic Zone the other day also

RE: Bushnell Elite 4200
 

bought the same scope this summer from SWFA for 250 and put it on my Ultra Slug Hunter. Very happy with it.

I was not a fan of glass in this price range, figuring for $300 +/- the quality and clarity would not be there. I have had scopes from other makers in that range that were more or less the pits, especially at very low light.

I bought a used ML with a 2008 Bushnell Elite 4200, "Fire Fly" and "Rain Guard" model. Because I was too lazy to swap the Elite 4200 scope with a Zeiss Conquest that I had doing nothing before ML days were upon me, I left it on the rifle. I am impressed and have no plans to take the scope off. The "Fire Fly" was not impressive, but the glass did fine well into "Dark:30". I took a nice 8 pt. right at last light ... no problem. The image of the buck was clean, clear and with very good detail. The only complaint I have is that the 4200 is relatively long and therefore fairly heavy. At $255, it's a steal.

If there's a better scope out there for less than $350 I sure haven't seen it.

I don't have any problem with the length or weight of the 3x9, but I do have a 4200 6x24 and that's about the same size and weight as a typical softball bat. Ok, maybe not quite that big, but it's probably not something you'd want if you're trying to put together a lightweight carry-all-day rifle.

The 3x9x40 Elite 4200 is not a large scope, I believe it is one of the smallest quality scopes you can get for physical size and weight, I have one on my Elite and it is great. I think some of the other Elite's are alot longer and bigger but not the 3x9.
