    I've owned the Bushnell 2-7x32 and it is an excellent scope provided you don't need -or want-mildot. I am a Nikon fan who hasn't tried this scope but I assume that their scope is good too. Basically the best bet for this type of scope in terms of quality for price is probably still the Simmons WTC 1.5-5x20. Whenever they come up on here they get snapped up pretty quickly.

    Those Simmons scopes are fine in bright light, but in a different class to the 2-7x32 Nikon/Bushy Elite Legend when the light drops or in woodland under cover etc -

    In dense woods, I couldn't see bugger all shooting up into trees in shade/end of day/early light with the SimmonsWTC 1.5-5X20s personally, you can see what's what with the Nikon or Bushnells, but that is not unexpected as it's not fair to compare a 20mm objective with a 32mm one, especially when the 32mm scopes are fully multi coated , with superior coating too -

    From my own experience on these anyway -

    Everyones eyes are different, the small WTC is fine to my eyes. What would be good is a Bushnell, Nikon or Vortex 2-7x32 with a mil dot ret.

    Surely the scope manufacturers will cotton on to this soon. I couldn't agree more.
