Hello everyone. I have been watching the site for a while now and finally decided to add my 2 cents. I recently had a chance to compare the ffII, vx-I, elite 3200, and the new buckmaster. The vx-I was most obviously out of its class. The ffII looked a little "yellow" to me. I was a little disappointed after all of the good reviews that I had read on it. Maybe it was just the one I looked at. The elite 3200 and the buckmaster were a virtual tie. The elite has rainguard, but the buckmaster was slightly clearer around the edge. The deciding factor was that I needed it right away for an upcoming antelope hunt, and they didn't have the elite in the finish that I wanted. I took buckmaster home, and couldn't be happier. It sighted in nicely, held its zero well, and worked wonderfully on my hunt.
