Rifle Scopes Elite 3200 10x40 opinions

[stork23raz]

Hey guys I just bought an elite 3200 10x40 (1/4 turrets) in perfect condition off a freind with a set of warne rings for $100 bucks. I have not had a chance to test it on a rifle yet. I have it mounted on a savage12 223 right now, but I am thinking about getting a 17hmr and putting it on there. Or sell it. I dont know.

If anyone has any experience with these scopes please I would like every bit of info you can spare. Im ok with the glass for the price and I have heard they are very durable. My main concern would be how well do they track. I will end up testing the tracking myself to see how it does. Just looking for opinions on the scope itself.

Good buy, good kit. I have 3. You'll have to test the tracking yourself. If you don't want it, I'll take it off your hands.

I picked up one of these a while back to slap on an AR. It has ended up being a great little scope. Mine tracks true with no problems and the turrets are pretty crisp for a scope costing no more than this one did. I would say you got a good deal if you only paid $100 for scope and rings.

Mine tracks true, it gets the job done for me. Great scope for the price.

Wow, you got a smoking deal. I thought I did awesome when I picked one up a year or so ago in like new shape for $90 with Butler Creek Flip ups, but I didn't get any rings much less a set of Warne ones. I used that one for a while and ended up selling it as it just didn't fit my needs. I had it on a .22 and it seemed to track really well and the glass was decent. However, I quickly came to the realization that I didn't like a fixed 10, and I didn't like that it wouldn't focus very well at anything closer than 70 yards or so. There were actually several things I didn't like about this scope, but a couple things that I did really like. Overall, it was a decent scope with good tracking and decent glass, but at the end of the day it was still a Bushnell and I felt that showed.

I wish I hadn't sold my 10x as I'm wanting something similar to put on my rifle that currently wears the 5-15, and if I could pick up another one for that price I certainly would. However, at the price they have been going for new and even the clearance price, I don't think I'd buy another one.

good scope and great price, if you decide you dont like it you should be able to make money off of it somewhere online. They usually sell for around $150. Mine tracks great and has better glass than the 4 super snipers I have owned. I have had mine on a 17hmr, 223, and a 308 and have never had problems with it.

It is in my go-to stash for throwing on a rifle to break in, test ammo, shoot some special event where I don't want to pull one of my USOs off another rifle.

I put it on a new FN build for break-in, zeroing, and prelim group testing yesterday. It did its part in printing 1/2 MOA groups at 200 yards with the rifle right out of the chute.

Edge sharpness lacks, but overall contrast is good, reticle is usable, and clicks are consistent. I would not feel greatly disadvantaged if I had to use it in a match where a fixed 10X is a suitable optic.

Love mine.. have 3 and they all work/track/repeat everytime. Excellent for the $$. Very clear and bright also for a small optic. Buy with confidence.

I had one mounted on a 762x54R PSL, then on my 308 AR, then on a 223 AR, then sold it for 140$. Probably should have kept it. Was a totally problem-free scope.
