Bushnell Elite 3200 3X9X40 1 inch tube Rifle Scope

My recommendation for a great scope that will not let you down and great value for the money is the 3X9X40 Elite 3200 rifle scope with firefly and rain guard which can be had for $300 or less at a number of on line or retail outlets.

WHY?

I have one of these on my Ruger Hawkeye Mdl 77 .338 Federal and I love it.  I also have the same scope on a Savage .243 Win. I have a Bushnell Elite 3200 3X10X40 with rain guard and firefly reticle on my Savage Weather Warrior .308 Win and a Bushnell model 3200 1.5X4.5X32 with rain guard and firefly reticle on my Marlin model 1895 45-70.

NONE of these scopes have let me down yet.

All of these guns were easy to sight in with the Bushnell scopes and all of them hold their zero very well and the click adjustments are repeatable and dependable.

The optics are clear and bright and the rain guard feature is a real plus during rainy, misty, weather or sleet and snow falling off tree branches etc. The multi-X firefly reticle is very useful in low light situations early morning or just before shooting light runs out. Eye relief runs around 3.3 inches and has not been a concern on any of my rifles, which includes the 45-70 with BB 350 grain Penetrator load or the BB 405 grain expander load and also the .338 Federal with 210 grain Nosler Partitions.

Bushnell Elite 3200 Rifle Scopes

Game animals are most active at first and last light. Your target appears bright and clear, even in the gloomiest conditions. Add in Bushnell's exclusive Rainguard lens coating, 90% light transmission at 550nm and rigorous testing - recoil-tested to 1,000 rounds of 3.75 H&H magnum - and you're assured of accurate sightings and durable performance in those ideal hours bordering dawn and dusk. You've heard of bright ideas; this one may be the best yet.

Rainguard: Bushnell's permanent, patented, hydrophobic and oleophobic lens coating prevents fogging by causing condensation from rain, sleet, snow or even your own breath to bead up into much smaller droplets than on standard coatings. Smaller droplets scatter less light, which results in a clearer, brighter view. Now the hunter won't miss the shot of a lifetime because of rain or accidentally breathing on his eyepiece.
