[QUOTE="shocker45, post: 173962, member: 9522"] k well i have been reading for hours, i think i have made a decision. Leupold Vx-i Leupold is leading class name, but there entry level stuff does not seem up to part in the same price range as the nikon and elite. so thats out. between the Nikon and the Bushnell, it seems like i could basically toss a coin, both seem to be able to handle the shock of a magnum, and both have the adj parralax. the bushnell is bigger and heavier, but has more zoom. the Nikon takes in more light, 95% compared to 93% of the elite. there eye relief is virtually identical. the elite comes with a lens shade, which puts the overall length of the scope @ 20" which just seems rediculous to me, lol so i would never use it unless im in desperate need. givin everything said, i think ill be mounting a Bushnell 3200 elite, 5-15x with the firefly reticule on my rifle tommorow. it seems to be a pretty solid choice, and i really like the added zoom over the nikon. if anyone has a different opinion or if i overlooked something let me know.
