What does the Fast Focus mean on the Bushnell 3200's? I've seen that model on clearance several places was there a problem with it?
Would you buy one of the 3200's or a VX-1 or Rifleman from Leupold?

Fast focus is a feature where you have a dial on the eyepiece where you can quickly adjust the reticle focus. Personally of the three mentioned, I would not consider the Rifleman, due to other 2 having better optical coatings. So between the VX-I and the Elite 3200, it would be a tough choice. Things to consider is the Elite 3200 has 1/4" click adjustments and the rainguard feature, where the VX-I has 1/4" Micro-friction adjustments and a longer eye relief than the Bushnell.

Leupold!

The friction adjustments work just fine, but I prefer the longer eye-relief of the Leupold. I had two 3200's, sold both, got bit a few times with the scope, had to go.

I would recommend the Elite 3200 Over a Leupold VX1 or the Rifleman.
The Elite is much better quality Especially the glass and the warrenty
can not be beat by any company.
The rifleman series is Lupy's attempt to take a share of the lower price market :? , bad move. They got the lower quality partdown.
Boy I bet I stepped on some toe's that time :-D
Lupy's are good (not the Rifleman) but over priced.

I have a couple of Leupolds and a couple of 3200s. Both are fine scopes, but I'll buy another 3200 before a Leupold. The 3200s are brighter and clearer to me, and zero never seems to creep. Also, the 3200s don't fog, and they're not too big for their britches price-wise.
