Bushnell 4200 scopes

[lv2htgeese]

Whats everybody thoughts on these? Pros and cons, looking for a scope for my new rifle i'm getting.

You need to be a little more specific as to the models. They have a pretty wide range from $300-400 to $900. I just got a clearanced 6-24x50 Elite with FFP and mil-mil for about $650 when they had been listing for around $900 and thus far I'm pretty happy with it. I have it mounted on a .50bmg so we'll see how it holds up over time.

Bushnell has a lifetime warranty so use and abuse it. I thought I read somewhere that the 3200 and 4200 series were discontinued. I had a 3200 10x and it was pretty good glass.

4200

I've got several of the 4200s. They are bright and clear all the way up to max power. The drawbacks are size, they are relatively long scopes, and they don't have as much windage and elevation adjustment as some others. Those are not things that would ever stop me from buying more of them, though. I do like the 3200s as well. The 10X and the 7-21x40 in particular.

Let me know how the BUSHNELL ELITE handle the 50 BMG recoil, cause I have a 50 BMG & I bought a BUSHNELL ELITE 6500 4.5-30x50, but I haven't shot my rifle yet

I have a half dozen rounds through it so far getting it zeroed. I'll be shooting some more this weekend.

The Leupold VX-III it's replacing had a couple of hundred rounds with no problems.

I've got a 4200 6-24 tactical and I love it. I only wish it had more internal adjustment for elevation.

Natchez has some good closeout deals going on now for the 3200 and 4200. I got a 3200 3x10x40 for $160.

I'm going to buy another one of those 3200 10x's from Natchez. $150 for that scope with 80MOA of internal adjustment is just too good to let go.
