Is a bushnell 3200 a good choice for 270 bolt gun to hunt deer with shots from 50 to 250 yards?
I enjoy collecting guns, swaping and staying up on all the newest models. I deer, quail, squirrel and rabbit hunt.

It is a perfect scope for you situation.  I know that it is a little more money, but if you can upgrade to a Bushnell Elite 4200 or Nikon Monarch, I think you will be a little happier.  If you are on a budget the Elite 3200 is the scope to get!!

The Sightron is also a very good choice in the 3200's class but a little brighter. Tracking is superb.

If you are looking for a scope under $200 for long range shooting, I would recommend the Bushnell Trophy 6-18x40.

YES.  look at the 3200 3x-9x-40mm.  But like Jon said, if you can spend a bit more money, then get either the Nikon Monarch 3x-9x-40mm or an Elite 4200 2.5x-10x-40mm.

I own several Nikon Monarchs and 4200s.  In fact, I recently bought a 4200 2.5x-10x-40mm from Jon at the optic zone.  Let me tell you, both are great scopes, but I tend to prefer the 4200s. :grin:
