Bushnell Elites coming on the EE up for grabs.
Just me or am I focused on this model only?
NIB seems up for sale regularly?
What's happening?
New warranty replacements getting put up?
If so, what seems to be the IN for taste buds?
 
I bet they are warranty replacement. I know of 6 people locally who have had to return 3200's because they let go internally, either vertical or horizontal adjustment broke, groups started to wonder at will. Even if they did replace it with a new one, would you want to take the chance on one during your hunt ?
 
I had two which I sold and replaced with Burris FF II due to two reasons. Number one being how much clearer the Burris was under low light situations(Huge plus for a hunter) and secondly because of of the warranty issues I been hearing about. Everyone I talk to (including my local store) is saying how long it takes to get a scope serviced and returned to them.

Its to bad, because years ago I replaced two scopes, a pair of bino's and a spotting scope with Excellent turnaround time. Then again the fact I have had to return so many Bushnell products should be reason number three why I have switched brands.
 
No problems here w/ 3 older(4-5yrs) 3200's.:)

But yes I will agree, the FullfieldII is much more clear!
(dont mean the 3200s are no good though)

I sold one today that was a warrenty replacement.

I sent in a Scopechief for service and they sent back a new 3200. I already have a 3200 on a rifle, so this one got sold because it was worth a lot more NIB than the Scopechief it replaced. I kinda like those scopes. Good deal for $200.

I have 3 3200's for over 4 yrs now. Two are on my 7mm Rem mags and one is on my 7mm wsm. All hold up with zero issues. Best bang for the buck. I also have an older baush and lomb 3000 and it has held up for over 10 yrs on my 303 LE. No issues here!

B&L 3000, now there was a great scope for the money. I had one for years, then sold it to a friend who is still using it and its still functions 100%.
 
I am shooting a 3200,5-15x40 Tactical on my Rem700 XCR Tactical,(.308 Win.), and it performs far beyond my expectations.

This scope has been getting me 8-10" groups at 900-1000 yards(in good conditions of corse). Much more performance than I expected!!!
 
I bought a 3200 on Friday went to the range on Sunday and much to my dismay it was a dud. Neither elevation or windage turrets worked. Turn the turrets and nothing happened. Took me a couple of minutes to figure out why I could not get it on the paper. Brought it back to Lebaron for a refund. This is the second Bushnell that I am having issues with.
 
I've had a number of Elite 3200 fixed 10x and various 4200's and a 6500. OMO they are good value - esp the 4200 Tactical 6-24x50 - I still run one of those on a 300 WM and a 6500 Tactical 4.5-30x50 on a .223 Remy. I sold the rest overtime due to upgrades (NF, Sightron Siii and S+B) but would recommend them to those on a tighter budget. Of the ten or so Elites I owned I never had a failure and of the ones I sold locally to shooting pals all continue to give good service.
