I would rate thier customer service horrible, and I have personal experience with them.

Nice hard effort on your part though :rockOn: :D

I would agree with you on that 5 years ago. Their customer service and warranty service has improved greatly as has their product. I wouldn't buy any of their bottom of the line scopes but their high end 4200 series gives Leupold a run for it's money. Personally I find the 4200 series optically as good as the Leupold VXIII's. The only reason I would buy the Leupold would be because of the weight difference. If I was making my decision solely for financial reasons the 4200 series wins hands down. Great scopes and that Rainguard coating can be a Godsend on a wet morning in the bush.
 
The only Bushnells I presently own is a 3200 (1.5x4.5) and an older 3000 in 3x9. I am quite happy with both. I wouldn't buy the lower end Bushenells either.

The times that I have dealt with them or been a part in dealing with them are all in the last five years, all experiences were bad.

I know I am not the only one who has seen sh!tty service from them first hand. Have a look through some of the recent posts in this section.

I am glad you guys like Bushnell, did ya get free jackets :D

I'm looking for a replacement for that cheap Simmons scope that came with my Savage 111. It's cloudier than my Bushnell Rimfire scope, and the rings came loose after 60 rounds fired. Since the Bushnell Rimfire is the best and most expensive scope I currently own, it won't take much to impress me. All I'm looking for is a scope that will hold its zero with a .30-06 and is adjustable 3-9x mag. Are there scopes out there that will serve somewhat reliably for this purpose for say $100-150, or will I have to fork out $300+ to accomplish this goal? It's my first centerfire rifle, and I have no experience shooting any others (scoped anyway).

Thanks in advance for the help ladies and gents!

have a look around for a leupold VX-1 2-7x33mm. very very bright. 7x is LOADS of magnification for <300m hunting, and can be found for less then $300.

If your paying the prices their asking for Leupolds your jacket must have very long sleeves. I find it hard to beleive you've had any experience with Bushnell's warranty service, as you are allways slamming their products. If you hate their product so much why are you buying them? Just so you can break them and whine about their service. You don't make any sense. :bangHead:

I don't buy them anymore, there products suck and so does thier service.

I will also put money on that I have dealt with them more than you have.

But really who cares, if you like thier products good for you, I don't and will bash them if I like. I will also continue to warn others about thier sh!t service and products.

:wave:

I can't say I have ever used Bushnell's Warranty Service as I have never had a bad one. But to say their products suck is just b**ll S**it The 3200 & 4200 series scopes are excellent value with great optics. It's to bad you didn't like the Banners or Walmart specials. Did you get your $49 back?

Good luck to you when you do have to use the warranty.

The last scope that I dealt with Bushnell about was a 4200. I am glad you like them but you probably wont when you have to deal with them.

BTW, how the f*ck would you even have an opinion about thier service if you have never dealt with them?

Over and out.

I hunt and shoot with people all year long who use Bushnells. I have heard very few bad warranty stories. The only bad warranty stories I've heard are from certain blowhards on this site. Who make statements condemning everything under the sun. Seems to me the only thing that is any good is what they use.

If you didn't use that nice 4200 as an anal search tool maybe you wouldn't need waranty service.
