So, this scope was the last of its kind at my local ffl dealer a short while ago. As to my knowledge they are no longer in production and the one I picked up was packed away in the back of the store with the box dented and coated with a modest layer of dust. Not being Bushnell's flagship series of the Elite line, it was soon forgotten after being replaced. The 3200 was always designed to represent a good value, a solid product at a modest price... The difference now is that the few that still have them are trying to finally get the last one or two off their shelves and end up being really good deals.
The 2-7 caught my eye as it offers a bit more versatilty than the traditional 3-9 in my opinion. I bought this scope as a "between scopes" purchase and I'm happy that I did. Its small, lightweight, simple reticle design make it ideal for tossing on a fairly large variety of firearms.

The scope is built well (in Japan) with simple, easy to use and adjust features and Bushnell's Elite series warranty, which is lifetime, transferable to any owner and requires no receipt. Here are some pics with a few of my personal comments-

Here she is matted to a one piece quick detach mount I picked with it...

Bushnell's famous Rainguard coating...to prevent fogging

Fast focus eye piece for quick diopeter adjustments

Nice aggressive gnurling on mag ring, as you can see has a small tail as well

"Multi-X" reticle, essentially a nice duplex

Here are some of the guts for those that are interested

This clarity does not represent the glass, only the shortcoming of my phone's camera... Just wanted to show why I'm happy with the 2x low end and the 3"+ eye relief
I do have to note though, it is sensitive to side to side movement.

I will add some more shortly. If you have any questons or comments please feel free to ask or post. Also, please share any of your own personal experiences with it if you own one as well.

I own two and they are mounted to my Marlin 336XLR hunting rifles. I am very happy with the way they perform and I purchased them brand new from Midway for $149.00.

Yeah, I see the discrepancy also... Its interesting that Bushnell lists their turrets as MOA adjustable but labels them in inches... I have not split hairs to figure out which claim it actually is. Is your 6500 labeled in inches as well? Also have another question for you... Is you 6-24 PST still on order? I noticed you also have the 4-16 and have heard the former has noticeably superior glass. Curious what your thoughts are if you've already seen it... its one of the scopes I've been interested in.
