    Bushnell elite 4200 vs. leupold vx3(the new, upgraded one)

    Bushnell Elite 4200 2.5-10x40 Leupold VX3 3.5-10x40 I own them both; but which one is more worthy of sitting atop a Sako Finnlight? I just compared optics at dusk on 4x, 6x, and 10x. It seems pretty close, but I think the Elite 4200 has a very slight edge when it's almost dark. The elite...

    Scope Bases: 1-piece vs 2-piece

    I was looking into Ken Farrell bases for my next rifle; and was wondering if that 1-piece base of his, would allow much room for loading.

    Guys I need help deciding which scope to go with on my Sako. It has a Bushnell Elite 4200 2.5-10x40mm on it. For years I've tolerated an uncomfortable eye relief because with the medium Leupold ring mounts, I could not take the scope any more rearward due to the objective bell touching the...
