yesterday.

What do you think guys, that Bushnell looked mighty good. Will be mounted on a .270 winchester. do you think eye relief is a problem?

Which would you pick? :?

Maroondog,
I have a 3200 4x12, and a Nikon Monarch 3x9. I preformed a little test the other night. I started about 30 min before dark looking through each scope. I could not tell any difference between scopes well into darkness. I will probably buy another 3200 before I will by a Nikon.

The Elite 3200 is a good scope, but the Nikon Monarch is better than the 3200. If you were comparing the 3200 to the Nikon Buckmaster, which is a more equal comparison, then I would recommend the 3200.

The 3200 is equal to the Nikon Buckmaster.
The 4200 is equal to the Nikon Monarch.

In each instance, I would get the Elite over the comparable Nikon. However, I would definately get the Monarch over the 3200.

Funny no one mentioned the VX-II which has the identical lenses and coatings as last years Vari-XIII has quick focus eyepiece and way more eye relief then either of the other 2 competitors. Last price I got on a 3-9x40 was 260 dollars.
