Sent in a bushnell 3200 elite for repair to Bushnell . Received a bushnell engage as a replacement. Anyone else receive anything different ? And is the engage a comparable substitute ?

what model
3-9x40 with MOA WINDAGE AND RETICLE, DEPLOY MOA
As far as i understand it was meant to be an updated and improved series taking place of the 3200 .
I got a 3500 in replacement for 3200 a couple years ago.
Waiting to see what I get for my 4200 6-24
I sent it in just as the announcement came out about the Cdn depot closing so assume it went to Kansas
Glad to say I have hunted Northern BC
Simon Fraser had pretty good judgement on what he found in BC
Are you guys satisfied with bushnell?
never used any of their stuff
Exact same thing happened to me. Sent in a 3200, got the engage back. Seems to at least be equivalent to the elite, which isn’t saying to much, they are both lower tier scopes. But the Engage is mounted on the kids .308 and it’s probably got a couple hundred rounds thru it and is still holding zero. Glass isn’t terrible. Definitely gets the job done. Also sent in a pair of Elite 10x42 binos. They sent me back a new pair of Forge 10x42’s, which was an upgrade considering the Elites were 20 years old. I can’t recall ever hearing of Bushnell actually fixing anything. Them and Vortex, they’ll just send you back something new or equivalent. Leupold and Swaro only companies I’ve dealt with that will actually fix something.

Their top tier scopes like the XRS, LRS, LRHS, LRHSi, and LRTS have been fantastic. Track great, return to zero, hold zero, good reticles. Pretty big fan of their FFP stuff. But I’m a dialer and like to put some distance on when shooting. Comes at a cost though, bit heavier, bit physically larger glass. Requires a more robust mounting system. And you have to fling more peso’s out to get your hands on them.
That said, having rock solid adjustments is worth it to me.
Rifles that get used a lot, get Bushnells. Play toys get Arkens.
I think my 541 S still has a 3.5-10 Leupold on it for chickens though. For now anyway.
