I was wondering if I could have some input on this scope. I want to use it on a .22lr training rifle to practice ranging and engaging targets at unknown ranges.
I understand it has a fixed paralax, is that going to really hurt me using it at 75-250 yards?
Would it be even useable at 50 yards?
Is the retical thin enough to be able to hit a 4"x4" plate out to 250 yards?
People seem to really like these for the price and I have a line on one used for a really decent price, so long as it will fit my requirements.
Thanks,
Grant
 
I have a 5-15 has the same turrets as the 10x. I've also owned the 10X. Nice scope for the money. Barrett sells his some of his 50 BMG's as a package deal with the Bushnell 10X if that gives you any idea of their durability.....
 
had mine on my cooey 64 when i first got it for the same reason... at 50 i seem to recall being able to see the holes i was making in a paper target.. you can clearly see .30cal holes in paper at 100 as well...

with my eye's i could see from about 30yrd's on... the world look's alot more polluted thru a 10x tho.... "blue haze" man...
 
Mine has been used for load testing on over a dozen different rifles without a problem. It was used on my 50 BMG till my 8.5x25 Leupold arrived.
After that I put it on my 308 Tikka and took 2nd place in my first and only F-class match.
For the price I think its hard to beat....
 
I've used my 10X mildot on my CZ452 Silhouette and at 25m things are a little fuzzy. I can still shoot 3" steel plates, but I would love a side focus. That's why I've put my 3200 10x Mildot on my .223 dedicated earth pig hunter for the 100m plus shots. At 50m the crosshairs were just a tiny bit fuzzy, but good enough for nearby groundhog shots from the kneeling or standing position.

This is one of those scopes where I would advise to avoid buying ONE. Instead get TWO of them, just like our CGN sponsor dealer CanAm (up above).

As many of you know, I have competed for over 10 years at sniper matches and won many medals using Leupold Mark4's. I particularly love the ONE single set screw (3/32") to slip your scales (you experienced and trained snipers know what I'm talking about... :rolleyes: ). For you newbs, that's when you have completed your 100m zero (or any other know distance) and then loosened the set screw, and then aligned the scales / index to THAT range. In my case my 100m zero is indexed at "0" value. Or simply put, my rig is zeroed for 100m. :D

I love the 3200 Elite 10x mildot turrets for this reason. At $ 200, buy a couple!! :D This is one great scope for the M14 by the way!! Keeps the M14 and tactical habits affordable. :evil:

Life is good,
Barney

If you're shooting at 100 yards out to 250 yards the fixed parallax is not a big deal. Where you will notice parallax error is below 100 yards.

These scopes are a bargain for what they are. I have two, the last I bought in used like new condition for $150 all in.

Has anyone ever got the parallax changed to about 50-75 yards for use on rimfires? I can see it being a fun little scope in a gopher patch, and it is small enough to look good on a sporter .22 or maybe a 17HMR.
 
There's Barney with what I've alway scalled "Hungryitis". Buy 2 - to go with the 2 M305s you'll buy. Come to think of it, 2 might not be enough!

I bought mine from Hungry.
 
Well I've found one in alright shape used. Not perfect, and the objective has a few small scratches. I mainly want it for a .22 trainer that I will be dragging around with me to practice ranging/dialing in as previously stated.

I might get it, really depends on finances. They seem pretty common so I might just wait around until another pops up for a decent price.

I might also just save-up for a variable with A/O. But really for the price I'm sure I can find something to put it on.
Thanks,
Grant
 
I am really thinking about buying one of these for my 10/22 to get mil dot ready. Probably will take it off the .22 and toss it on the next rifle I buy too.
 
I can n ot say enough about these, still only 250 bucks and you can throw them against a wall.

I have them on some long range guns for that reason, my 30-378 and 7mm Rum, will be buying 2 more likely in a few weeks

This is like a love in for the 3200. The 3200 is a great scope for the price, but not for rimfire. You should consider something with an adjustable parrallax so that you can use the scope at various ranges.
