Bushnell Elite 4200 6-24x40

As most have said above. Good glass, good tracking, limited adjustment. Used off the EE yields good bang for the buck. If you were to buy new I think the Sightron SllB merits some attention. The 6-24X42 will give you 60 min of elevation vs 26 min. It is lighter and shorter. I haven't used an SllB but have absolutely no complaints with their Sllls. Pretty much the same glass/coatings I think. Tube size is the main difference. I have dealt with Sightron for warranty issues as well and have to say the service through the Canadian Distributor (Hirsch Precision) was PHENOMENAL. Right now with a $75 dollar rebate from Sightron you would be very close to the cost of the 4200.

Is there any CGN dealers that stock Sightron?
 
I had a couple 6-24 x 40s and one 6-24 X 50 Tactical. The first one packed it in on a "hard recoiling" Anschutz in .22 LR. It's new replacement moved from the silhouette gun to a 22/250 sporter then to a .223 heavy barrel where it died. I had to pick between dialling out the parallax, seeing through it, or getting rid of it so took option 3 which was showing it the door.I can only conclude that they don't like their knobs turned.

The 6-24 by fifty T liked to turn it's own side focus knob with every shot taken on a braked .338 Edge. That one showed up in a trade and left shortly after.

The optics are quite good for the money. If it was a telescope instead of a riflesight that might matter.
 
I had a 4200 6x25x50 and now own a sightron SIII 10x42 MMD on my .308

The 4200 was a good scope. The glass was good, reticule a little thick but not bad. The turrets had a good amount of resistance. Actually the only problem I had was the zoom. I shoot mostly by mil dots so a mark to be fixed at 12 would be nice. The zoom sleeve was also to light, mine would change if bumped. The 50mm obj also looked bad on the gun with out the sunshade.

The Sightron SIII 10x42 ... I love it. The MMD reticule is perfect. The scope is lighter and adj to my eye easer than the 4200. The turrets have good audible clicks and perfect amount of resistance. The 4200 is a bit quicker to reset your scope 0 with one nut over the sightron, but it's only done once anyway. Because I shoot mil dot this scope allows me to hit confidently from 100y - 900y on the fly with out any turret adjustment. 950y is 5.2 min of angle up and 1000y is only 11.1 minutes. Very quick. The MMD reticule makes all the difference. Even the 5th mill mark is a point and not a flat bar. Very nice.

When it comes to sightron the fast track system also takes away the worry of loosing ur 0 if u bump or drop the rifle. At $600 brand new, very big bang for the buck when mil dots your thing.
 
i don't know about paper punching but i have one on my .223 win coyote and it works just fine on any chucks i put the crosshairs on out to 375+ yrds.
 
I shoot targets only & have three of the Bushnell 4200 6X24 all with the fine cross hair & the 1/4 MOA dot. I am very pleased with these scopes. I can also recommend the Weaver T36 & the V24.

These scopes do not have a great deal of vertical adjustment but a 20MOA base or Burris Signature rings with + & - 20 MOA inserts will increase their versitility.
 
I just parted with a 4200, 6 x 24 x40 mil dot.
Nice scope, but my tired eyes are favoring the 50 mil objective.
I put a 2.5 x 10 x 50 on the BLR mentioned on an earlier post and this scope
does it for me. It is branded Bushnell 4200.
These are great scopes for the money.
One day I'll bite the bullet and try on a VX 11, VX 111 or so.
For now, Bushnell works for my budget.
Plus they don't have this Korth delema.
 
Some experience with a 4200 4-16x40 AO. Excellent glass!

Indeed, I think it's sharper and brighter than my VX-III 4.5-14x40.

Take note that the 4-16 and 6-24 are 1/8" adjustments. Kinda gets ya scratchin' your head during sight in if you're thinkin' 1/4".
