As above 4.5-14-50 Lr 30mm Varmit ret.
Crap and not worth even £200 in my eye's never mind what they cost, don't know why everyone shouts about them.
Wish i had kept the Bushnell elite, far superior.
If bushnell got to a 30mm tube with the 6-24 and 50mm lense then they would have the perfect mid price scope.
Just my thoughts

What were the problems you had with the scope - i.e. why carp?
I think and therefore...... I refuse to steal someone else's quote to try to sound more erudite or profound than I actually am.

In a word, Glass Quality.

I am surprised - whilst there are better out there my own experience with VXIII glass was pretty good - although the eye relief can be a pain.
Where did you get the scope from - I have heard that their are fakes out there that do indeed suck.

Why do you want a 30mm tube?

The good news is that the 6-24 x 50 30mm from Bushnell will be here is a few weeks. I have a couple on order now.Originally Posted by SCW22
I have to agree that the 4200 beats the Leupold, any leupold I have ever used with regard to optical ability. I would say, not by a small margin either.
The Bushnells fall fowel of a very poor field of view and the rediculous size of the old front PX models.
The Leupold scopes were better built and were amizingly compact for what they offered. I oke Leupolds as they are reliable and have a very good "right" feel about them
However, the newer side PX Bushnell, is both lightweight and built easily on a par with the Leupold. The field of view is still a factor that can not be ignored unless you are target shooting. Aquisision of a "live" targer in the field, especially when lamping is difficult.
I think the new 4200 that is coming out, will be the scope to beat.
The new Nikon range is coming out imminantly and they now do a 6-24 x 50 but in one inch.
Drinks rum like a Fella.....
If imported from the US Bushnell are very hard to beat optically compared to price. I suppose thats why thousands of shooters use them. Very good glass for the money. Stick them next to a Tasco or a Hawk and there in a different leagueI got sick of buying crap.
Always with the negative waves Moriarty, always with the negative waves.

It will take something very special to get my VXIII 6.5-20 x 50lr Varmint off my Rapid. I had a look through a Burris Black Diamond that was comparable though.
I rated the Bushnell 3200 because it's so short and light but it's not in Leupold league, I wouldn't buy another Bushnell now, there's better available cheaper from MTC.
I'll give you £200 for it, if it's a genuine Leupold.

i have a vxIII 4.5/14x50, and i find the optics and the field of view out standing.
and before you ask why its on sale,
so i can buy a vx III 6.5/20x50 lrt.
i have had couple of bushnell's and find them well below par, i made the mistake like most people do when they were all shouting about them i went and had a couple from BoNeS,
happy to say i managed to flog them on, and i would rather shoot at it than with it. ( Bushnell's that is )
just my thoughts and findings.
bob.
