I just ordered what I thought was a Bushnell Elite 4200 4-16x50. When I recieved it is has Bausch and Lomb on the tube and objective. Is there a difference (I know Bushnell and Bausch & Lomb are in buisness together), or did I get an old model scope.

A year or two ago Bushnell dropped the B&L name from their scopes and changed the name to Bushnell Elite. If it's a new in box scope you're not out anything because they are the same. They just dropped the B&L name from their binoculars.

wrboard,

Where did you buy the scope from? I'm getting ready to buy one and would actually prefer the B & L moniker!

Thanks!
(I PM'd you also)

Actually the scope that he got was the 4200 series. It is the exact same scope with as the Elite 4200. It is the same product code (42-4165m) and the same UPC as the Elite 4200, but it just says Bausch & Lomb on the box and scope.

Wrboard bought the scope from us and we had our distributor drop ship it. They sent the Bausch & Lomb with out notifying us, which I was not happy in the first place. After finding out this, I made a phone call to Bushnell about this situation and they informed me that they are the exact same scope, rainguard and all, just with the Bausch & Lomb name on it.

Very cool, thanks for the info Jon - you guys seem to have the best prices on these and I'd like to go through one of the sponsors of the board also.
