They don't have rainguard but they are very nice scopes. They are made in japan and have a lifetime warranty.

They have a nice zoom ring thats covered in rubber and is very smooth. The clarity is exceptional and they are very bright. They have a stylish look to them also.

THEY ARE MADE BY BUSHNELL.
THEY DO FEATURE THE RAINGUARD COATING.
SEE FIELD AND STREAM ARTICLE ABOUT THE SHOT SHOW.

Bushnell Boy shouldn't you know.

Yes they are made by Bushnell. I didn't see that article in field and stream if it said it had rainguard then it was a misprint. I searched there websight and found nothing saying browning optics had rainguard. It does have the Dura-Brite coating which is similar, but is not the same thing. Do you know which issue you read this article in?

I wonder if its the Elite 4200 or 3200 version?  Or maybe even the Legend version?

The Elite 3200 has about 88% light transmission, while the Legend has about 91%, and the 4200 has about 95%.  If the new "Browning" is claimed to have 94%, I'm not sure if they are actual Elites with different names, or if Bushnell simply made a new scope just for Browning?

I saw it on the field and stream website when i was searching for info and  comparisons of optics.

It must be a recent article because they said the info was from the shot show.
