I have 2 and like them. Both are 2-7. One is labeled Browning (close-out deal) and the other is a Firefly model. I don't think I would buy another Firefly unless the price was to good to pass up (again).

I recently installed a 3x9-40MM on a .270.  All adjusments are very positive.  I was hoping to get out with it and test the Rain Guard this hunting season but illness put hunting on hold. 

I like mounting my scopes low, and this scope allows me to do so.

I've had several and have been served well by them. I currently have one -- the 3-10x40 Short Action Compact model -- atop a 20" Contender barrel in 7mm Bullberry.

A number of years ago, I gave a 4-12x40 to my father-in-law, and it still sits atop his well-used .270 WCF.

But I wouldn't ever want one with the Firfely reticle...

I have noticed a couple posters do not like the Fire Fly feature on the 3200.  I was wondering why.  I don't have one, but thought it looked like a good idea.

The 5x15 on top of a MarkX in 223 is one of my favorites.  The sun shade is very effective when shooting to the west late of an evening.  And yes the Rain Guard does work!

Larry, the Firefly reticle is for lack of a better explanation, a distraction.  It serves no purpose for me.  This is one of those things you may have to look at for yourself to understand and you may like the result, but I don't know anyone who has tried one that liked it.
