A) Rainguard performs impressively, under nasty conditions.
If the scope is warm enough to melt snow, it is clear.
B) I don't know if Bushnell 3200's have that kind of mileage
on them, yet, like an old Leupold might, but so far so good. I have
about 200 rounds, shot under mine, with some usual field
use shock events, and it still holds zero, and tracks well.
C) The 3200's brightness is going to make that old Leupold
look like you were sighting through a fog bank(Leupold) versus
bright blue day(Bushnell 3200).
d) Save your money. If I really need the 4x magification range
of the 4200 series, I pay the money, if not I buy the 3200
with the 3x magnification range. As an example, on a western
hunting rifle, where I wanted to get as much out of the magnification
without an adjustable objective, there I would pay for a 2.5-10x
4200 Elite, rather than a 3-9x 3200 Elite.
After much searching around for scope brands, where I currently
own Leupolds, Nikons, Bushnells, a Weavers, and a Mueller, I have
settled on Bushnell for most of my scope needs. My Mueller is
impressive enough at the under $200 price point, that I would
consider purchasing another one, for a rifle project on a budget,
and one that would not see wet weather conditions. If I set the
rifle up to hunt in wet weather, it will have a Bushnell Rainguard
scope on it.
