A great optic for the money. I had a 10x and 16x. I learned the hard way however that I don't like fixed power.
Inside 100 yards makes for a narrow, blurry sight picture even at 10x. To each their own however There are lots of Super Sniper threads here if you do a search. If I had your decision to make, I'd look into the Bushnell Elite 4200 series or Burris Fullfield II series. Variable powered optics are your friend . . .  As for bases, I think some sort of extended rail and a solid pair of rings is a good, inexpensive way to go. I chose the RRA Scout Rail and Burris XTR rings.

I only have experience with the 10X, but it impressed me for all that was paid for it. For a NIB fixed power I think they are hard to beat.

Several years ago I had a SS 10x atop a Bushmaster 24" Extra Heavy Varmint Barrel and the danged thing could out shoot me.

I have a 16x and it is fine. I think the Bushnell 3200 10x mil-dot is a little better scope for less money.

Even though I don't care for mil-dot reticles.. the Bushnell is a great piece of glass for the $$$

Can you explain why is it that you don't care for Mil dot reticles? I'm looking for a scope right now, and have never bought a Mil dot, but thought I might like one as it would provide a convenient way for quickly estimating an aiming point at longer ranges. |

Do yourself a favor and ask around to see if anybody has a super sniper you can look through outdoors. I know alot of people like them, but I don't. I have one and still use it but the first chance I get to upgrade to a variable Nikon, it's on EBAY. The optics suck, not crisp at all. I have fiddled around with the thing alot to try to get it focused and no go. I can shoot moa with it but it takes alot of concentration and squinting my ass off to do it, especially on hot sunny days.

Alright, I have a couple more questions. How is the glass on the 10x bushnell? Do you think that the 10x bushnell would make a decent gopher scope, or should I use something more powerfull? How about the 4-12x40 bushnell 3200? Also, Bushnell has a 5-15x40 elite 3200. I have a set of leupold QRW high rings. The back of the package says something about cross-slot, but they seem to fit on my flat-top ok. Does anyone have any experience with these? Any suggestions?
