3200 Elite?

Getting a carbine barrel for my G2 and think I should get a new scope to go with it. I was thinking of the Bushnell 3200 Elite 5x15. Anyone have one? Wish they didn't? Have another preference in the same price range?

I liked mine so mush I bought another.  I put a 5X15 on a Contender 17HMR barrel, then a 3X9 on a 17 Mach 2 barrel.  I highly recommend the Elite 3200 scopes.

Thanks guys, that's what I thought. I have heard nothing but good things about them. I have several of their Trophy pistol scopes and love them. After I get my barrel I will try another scope that I have to see if its a keeper. If it is I' ll get the 3200.

I have a whole pile of B&L Scopes, in various sizes. My Rem 700 Light Varmint .223 wears a 4-12 Elite, My TC Carbine in .17 Mach IV has a 4-12 also. Those scopes are tough too...my 7mm STW has a 4-16x50mm Elite 4200 that has held up fine after 300 + rounds, and one of my .445 Supermag contenders has taken about the same amount of pounding with a 4x B&L pistol scope. .. i have yet to tear one up, and in the last several years i've torn up several brands; but not a B&L. Altogether i have 11 B&L scopes, and i have enjoyed them all. Dont think you could go wrong with that scope..what caliber you gettin that carbine barrel in?

I have a 257JDJ rechamber in an Encore that is terrific. So I broke down and ordered a 20" SSK in 257JDJ also. We'll see how long it takes to get here.

If you like the 3200, throw a little more money out and get the 4200.  Much better glass.  I just put one on my 204 and put it right up there with my Leo, VX-III.

I have one on my Browning and love it! I have one on layaway with a new TC Encore in 308.  I dont care for the Fire fly Model though. The reticle is to thick.
