I just bought one for my 20" A3. I mounted it yesterday but not taken it to the range yet. Glass is nice and clear and good eye relief. So far I have no complaints.

The Elite scopes are great and ARE on par with the better known brands.
I've had an Elite 3200 3-9x40 on my hunting rifle (Rem 700 in 7mm Rem Mag) for 3 seasons, and has held zero without a problem. |

Ah well good to know!
I had always bunched in Bushnell with the likes of Simmons and Tasco. My mistake! Will this scope track accurately when adjusting? I intend on doing lots of 500-600 yard shooting with it as well as up close.. |

I've got one of these scopes. I don't like it for under 100 yards because the paralax is really bad. At 100+ it works very well though. The optics are reasonably clear and the movements seem accurate although I haven't tried boxing it to be sure. It's no Leupold but for less than $200 it's a nice piece of glass.

Well, you're not completely wrong. The ELITE series is very good. I haven't heard anything bad about them. THe cheaper series certainly don't fall in that category. The TROPHY series was judged to be pretty decent. Below that, you're in Tasco-land. |

I have an Elite 3200 3-9x40 on my Winchster Model 70 .270. I like it just fine. It's a great scope for the money.

Well, I got a chance to take my new Bushnell Elite 3200 10x40 mildot scope out to the range on Saturday. I have to say, I am really impressed with this scope. I have it mounted on a Bushmaster 20" A3. The mount I am using is the Wilson Combat one-piece scope mount
The glass was very clear. For a scope running under $200, I was surprised at the clarity of this scope. Eye relief was generous. The clicks on the target turrets were sharp and the scope retained zero well after making adjustments for range. Here's a pic:

I have the Elite 3200 10x40 on my Armalite AR10. Best mil-dot scope in the $200 range.

I have two of these scopes...the last one I bought was a deal at $130...the first one was $160. Great scopes for the money. I have not had a problem with my scopes.

Thanks for the range report sydney7629.
 I'm thrilled to hear so many of you with pleasant things to say as I have ordered the scope and it'll be here Thursday. I'm putting it on a brand new Savage 10FP in .223...

Just thought I'd do a little follow up after having recieved the scope and having got it mounted and have shot it a bit. It's everything you all said it was and better.. It's clear and bright and the adjustments are firm and predictable.. It holds a perfect zero.. Couldn't ask anything else from it... Thanks again for all your comments and experiences.

I am also interested in one of these scopes, is it a 1" tube or 30mm?

I had one of these scopes for awhile. Very nice scope for the money, I only sold it because 10x wasn't really what I needed. They are 1" tubes

Thanks Aimless, I really want 16x to 20x but found these for $170.00 and thought it would be worth a try, I wish it was a 30mm tube though. Other than the power, how did you like it?

I believe the Bushnell Elite Series are actually Bausch & Lomb scopes. Bushnell bought them or they have always owned B&L and finally just stuck their own name on the rifle scopes, or something like that.

You're on the right track. B&L owns Bushnell and a few years ago they consolidated their scopes under the Bushnell brand name. The Elite series was previously sold under the B&L name. |
