Bushnell Elite 3200 scope any good?

[GMC403]

.....Anyways, MD for your indicated use of the Bushnell you'll be fine. Enjoy it!

I have used a B&L 3200 Elite (from before they were rebranded Bushnell) on my 30.06 for years. Great scope for the money.

I bought a used one of a member here and have no complaints. Its currently sitting on my beaver gun has been tossed around a bit holds zero perfectly.

I already have, many times. I've broken more Bushnells than most of our members have owned scopes.

Perhaps you should have a gun bearer.

Perhaps you should have a gun bearer.

It wasn't from carrying, it was from shooting. A gun bearer does sound like a good idea though.

I would have guessed you dropped them because it seems to me many people speak of their scopes surviving knocks and drops, or not. That begs the question of what calibre(s) broke all your Bushnells?

Didn't have to keep buying them, I was too busy breaking the ones I already had and the warranty returns. It took 2 years to replace every scope I owned. In case you haven't noticed I'm still mad.

We're they actually Elites, or Banner/Trophy line scopes? I've only owned one Trophy, and had to have it replaced on warranty. Any Elite I've owned, or that any of my friends have owned, have functioned fine, without issues, etc. You'll find that most here have had nothing but good experiences with Bushnell Elite scopes.

3-9 3000s and 3200s. 2.5-10 4000, a couple 6-24 4200s, most recently a 6-24 4200 Tactical that showed up in a trade. There will never be another one, unless I want to try a Hathcock shot on something.

The 4200 6-24s packed it in when mounted on an Anschutz rimfire silhouette rifle. A Browning bar ate several 3-9s but some of those were the same ones more than once. Two in one day has to be some sort of record. A 2.5-10 (one of the very first) survived thousands of rounds on whatever my "main" rifle was at the time. That varied from a couple .270s at first to a .300 to a couple different 7 STWs. The 6-24 side focus Tactical spun its own parallax knob with every shot on a braked .338.

Interesting. Sounds like it might be you...

It absolutely is me, no doubt about it.
