Bushnell 3200 elite replacement

[Downwindtracker2]

I bought a used Scopechief IV 3x9.This was a comparable model to Leupold VariX III series . I paid too much for it, BTW. It had issues with a wandering POI. I sent it in a couple of times . Second time it came back OK. I put it on my canoe rifle.But the crosshairs came loose when it bounced along on the bottom of the river. I had another scope along. Always, Always either pack two rifles or a spare scope. My hunting partner gave up using Leupolds just to avoid that. This time they sent a ScopeChief IV 4x32 back. This model was far and away the best 4x scope of that period, mid '80s. I came out ahead, by quite a bit I might add. I had been hoping for just an ordinary Legend 3x9

Outside of that Scopechief 3x9, I've had better luck with Bushnells than Leupolds.

Are you guys satisfied with bushnell?

never used any of their stuff

I have always found bushnell to be a decent product. I would certainly use it over anything vortex. The Forge line is a very good product for the money! Its crazy but to my eye the forge 3-18 looks better than my 3-18 zeiss v6.

Update ! Phoned customers service, complained nicely ,also said the reticle was not what I wanted. They have now sent me a 4500 elite 21/2 x10 as a replacement and said to keep the engage scope . Good customer service I thought.

The 4500 is as solid as a tank. It also weighs like one. Highly recoil resistant. I have four 4000 series scopes.

I have the engage. also.and I find it has too much junk In the reticles. Let me know how you find it. It’s good for target shooting.

Or just spend better money and get something along the lines of the nightforce scope, and not worry about stuff like that happening.


Me, the only bushnell I currently have is an old scopecheif IV. And only because it was my original scope from when I was 14.
I did have an LRT for a bit, and it always treated me well before I replaced it with the Sig BDX model scope.

I have several leupolds, and now find myself steering away from them for anything newer I am needing to get. Just seems like you can get better for the price they have become for even the Freedom line up. My last scope was a swaro, over leo, and the next one probably be a Burris.

I have 2 bushnell scopes and 12 leupold you should be able to figure out the answer to your question.

you like Bushnell
