Cost for bushnell elite scopes?

[Potashminer]

The model numbers and magnification are not related in any way. 3200 vs 4200 was just the next step up like a VX1 vs VX2

Can you give me example of a 3 times power change in the 4### series or a 4 times power change in the 3### series?

In what way? Do you have a 3 x power change version named 4200?? Or otherwise??

I used to work at a gunstore when the 3200/4200s were out. The 4200 3-9x40 was probably of the more popular scopes on the market at the time.

Sure the 4200 3-9x40 was very common...it later became a 2.8 -10x40 I believe. A simple Google search and you can find plenty of info on it

Yes - I will stand corrected - multiple google hits on Bushnell 4200 3-9x40 scopes that are or were for sale.

Sure do. Have/had 4200s in 3x9 4-16 6-24. 3200 in 3-9 and 10x. 3500 in 3-9. 6500 in 2.5-16.

Do the math - except for the 4200 3-9 which Post#43 said became "2.8" (likely meant 2.5) - 10 and the 3200 fixed 10X (shown above in Post #29) it seems 4### series were mostly 4 times from lowest power to highest power. 2.5 x 6 is 15 - so give ad people a bit - 2.6 x 6 = 15.6 - probably close enough to 16. (99,99% of people have no way to tell difference between 15.6 power and 16 power). So, except for the 3-9 and the fixed 10x, sort of seems like 3###, 4### and 6### follow a pattern?

That's ok. I'll report back when the scope comes in. $250 isn't bad even if it's a 3200.

I have a.3-9x40 4200. It is a thing. 3200 vs 4200 wasn't just.a.3 or 4x between bottom and top on variable range. It's also a reflection on coatings and lense quality.

I get it. The 3200s had 1.5-4 and a 7-21x. All 3x mag range as you say.

The 4200 had a 8-32 as well. All in the 4x range except the 3-9.

For sure! Bushnell released the new and "improved" 4500 series earlier this year. "Improved" for their bottom line since they are made in Korea not Japan.

My 3500's are all made in Japan. My previous 6500's were also made in Japan. Never owned a 4500. My 3500's are 3-9x40 and 2-7x32.

The 3200 and 4200 were not about magnification but "trim level". Better glass and more rugged innards. Lots more magnification options in the 4200 line from fixed to variable.
Great scopes for the money. Never had any problems with one.

my 4500 4x made in china works as it should

As does mine. I've had an elite 3-9x40 for 15 years that was made in China as a special run and it's one of my favorites.

My 3200, 3-9x40 appears to be broken again. Two clicks left gave me like 4” left and two inches up lol. Two clicks back got me where I started from. ( 100 M )
