    10x? fixed mag scope

    I am in the market for one of the above, initially for my Prosport, the choice appears to be the Bushnell E3200 10x40 or the EB 10x42 which I particularly like because of the sidewheel PX. The Bushnell has to be reparralxed (no real hassle) but is at least £100 cheaper and from searching, readily available whereas the EB (although dearer)doesnt need to be touched px wise and therefore must be more useful generally, but I cant seem to find many places selling them.
    I am guessing that optically they are about the same but I would be grateful for some feedback from owners of both.
    Cheers in advance

    I like having the sidewheel parallex at hand, that is why I went for the EB, and it has become one of my favourite scopes of all time..

    They are both good optically i think the EB is better.
    But the 3200 is a lot smaller and lighter than the EB.
    BAR sell the EB aswell.
    I think the 3200 would be far better on a pro sport.

    Speak to GaryC - I'm sure he was using a 10x Russian sniper scope on his Daystate Mark 3 the last time I saw him (and he wasn't jetsetting around).

    I tried a swift 10x42 side PA at bar last week.(I think it was swift)

    And for £180 it was a bargain!!

    Mutt-sparky sells eb snipers at good prices.The 3200 is probably the better bet for a spring rifle.

    One fixed power scope I've always liked is the Weaver T-16. Very rugged and great optics. I *think* the AO is 42mm? (16x42) RB
