Pro's and Cons of a Bushnell 3200 10x40

[offthepaper]

I've been searching for a scope to use on both my AR 20" Flat top and my K31 for range shooting at a max of 300yds. Funds are limited, so I'm in the $200 ballpark. After some searching, I've found a Bushnell Elite 3200 in fixed 10X40 power with Mil-Dot.
Does anyone have any experience with them good or bad? Any other suggestions?

Clarity in low light situations and daylight is great, they hold zero and the adjustments have alot of travel. The only issue I have had with mine is when I make an adjustment for a 400 yard and sset it back to it's zero mark for 100 yards it doesn't bring it exactly to where it was. At 100 yards my .243 should have printed my bullets at .6" high and instead it was putting them on paper at about 1.25" but the groups still held as tight as they ever did. That is the only issue I can find with mine and I had it on my rifle for several hundred shots. I think I am either going to sell it or stick it on something I won't make adjustments for like my AR-15 or another .223 that I have.

I have one, it was on my ar-15 16" for a bit, and now my remington 700...I LOVE it. I cant imagine another scope for the money.

I have one of these scopes on a Kar 98K 8mm Mauser and it rocks! You will not find a better scope for the money, it handles bug recoil well and it provides a very clear and bright image. Also, there is PLENTY of eye relief, so lots of flexibility in mounting.

After extensive experience with the scope in question the only downside to it is that the fixed 10x magnification makes it hard to acquire a target quickly, but it is a trade-off I'm willing to make since I have been successful in making hits out to 700m+ with my 98K.

if a fixed 10-power scope will work for you this is probably the best scope for the money.

.50 bmg

My friend just put one on his .50 BMG - so it can withstand recoil. I think it's a pretty neat scope.

Great glass for the money -- many people use it on 50's. I'm thinking about one ona .22 mag.
