I am in the market for a new scope for my smokepole, is there much difference in these scopes, enough for the money difference, TIA for any info.

I have to agree with Bill. The Elite 3200 is a much better scope than the Trophy. It is brighter and clearer along with having the rainguard feature which is very nice to have at time.

Is the firefly worth the extra bucks, have never put a eye on one, TIA.

No. I don't like it at all. Makes for the thickest widest cross hairs you've ever seen. Just way to coarse for me.

I got a 3200 pre firefly on my 300 and not a problem yet.
Used it in the snow last christmas my glasses got wet and the scope lens
didnt.

Nice scope for the money, I think. But agree w/ above in that the FF reticle is way HEAVY. Too thick for my tastes.

I bought an Elite 3200 with the Rainguard feature after the season last year. I just got back from this year's deer hunt. I can tell you from real experience, Rainguard works and it is worth it. For me the worst kind of moisture is light drizzle below 35 degrees. Rainguard handled it like a champ. Simply amazing.

The optics were bright and clear.

Nothing wrong with the trophy and in regular weather it would suit you well but in bad weather the extra money is money well spent.

PS. I bought mine from Opticzone. No problems with them at all. Really good people to work with. I was a little afraid to buy optics over the internet, but I would do it again. This is not an ad and totally unsolicited.

Got my 3200 3x9x50 scope in and it really is clear, only problem I see is it is kinda on the large side, Thanks for all input.
