There have been some discussion of thsi scope here before but it has been a while so they have probably been archived and are not easily found. The scope is good deal for the price, jsut don't expect a $175 scope to be as good as a $500 scope.

I've been kinda thinking about this one as well. I'll be putting mine on my newly acquired savage .308.
Tagged for further info. |

I have had one on a Bushmaster Varmint Special for about a year and am satisfied with it. Mine has the reticle you can charge with a flashlight, pretty cool if you hunt at dusk/dawn.
That being said, you should know: It's the only scope I have had, so I have nothing to compare it to. If I had other brands as well I might consider it to be a POS ('tho I don't think so). I've only used it out to 100m. I've learned of another range in the vicinity w/ a 200 yard range. At 100m I don't have any problems checking my targets- image is very crisp. You didn't say what you're going to use it for so I can't be of any further dubious help, but it has been good for me so far. If you have any specific questions, I will try to answer them. |

Very nice scope, definately a bargain. I have one on a .308 Rem 700 "sniper" rifle, I am completely satisfied with it. |

It's going to be used for targets 100yds and beyond. Mainly high power, coyotes and maybe Elk if I ever get drawn LOL. I've never used a fixed power scope, what are the benefits over the others?

Fixed power means never second guessing the view for using the mildot to est range and adj the poa. It also means you can never back it down to widen the field of view. |

I had one for a year or two. Worked okay. I never really checked it for repeatability or whether the clicks were moving the point of impact in the proper intervals. It held up well to a fair number of rounds and some rough treatment.
The next step up is probably the $ 400-500 "Precision Rifle" line from Leupold, I have one of those. I went to a precision rifle class and the instructor told me "Nice rifle, nice base and rings, but that scope, er------" "It sucks?" "Spend the money on a Mark 4" If you are on a tight budget I think you'll have $ 200 worth of fun out of the Bushnell. |

For the money they are pretty good, you just have to ask yourself if the super sniper is worth the extra $100.

I use my 10X Elite has a range scope for load accuracy and such. For all other, I use NXS 2.5-10X. My Leup MR/T may replace it shortly. ETA: For the price it is a good scope, but that comes with limitations. It really depends on you application. |

The "Super Sniper" as sold by SWFA. It is also a 10x40 with mildot reticle and target knobs, but is has a 30mm tube and an adjustable objective.

I actually think I prefer my 3200 mildot 10X40 to my 10X42 SuperSniper.
I just trust it more.......haven't had any prob with either though. |
