Rifle Scopes The recoil restistant of Bushnell Elite 3200 5-15

[nainud]

I have plan to buy the Bushnell Elite 3200 5-15x40 Tactical scope for my 700 xcr compact .308win. I known that they claim this scope can resist .375 H&H. Has anyone use this scope and find any problem?? and if I use 20 moa base , Do this scope can fire up to 800 yards with Lapua d42 170 grain?(This scope can adjust 50 moa vetical)
Thank you all and thank for any comments.

It is a good scope and will hold up just fine. For what your doing, I'd look for something with more adjustment. I find it has more like 42-43 minutes vertical, and some of that is down.

Bushell scopes hold up to recoil pretty well. Im still running a Bushnell Banner (as cheap as it gets)on my Mosin 91/30 and after 1200 rounds its still going strong.

My friend has one and it had more like 80 moa of adjustment. He really likes his.

No, it does not have 80 moa of adjustment.

Thank you very much for all replied. I am appreciated that. This scope have only 50 moa to adjust. It's mean that 25+ and 25- I will use the 20 moa base for more adjust. It's mean that 25+20=45 moa approximately. Normally , Bushnell is not exactly 25 moa, it's around 23-24 +- but I think 40-45 moa should be enough for 800 yards for 308 and 20" barrel. I see the chart that 308 is around 25-30 moa drop at 800 yards. I think this scope should be fine. The recoil resistant is come from experience of member above so it's make me more convince to order. Thank you and have any suggests??

Suggests on where to get one?? SWFA or Optics planet or where ever the best deal is. I don't think any of the hide vendors have them. Maybe try Scott at Libery optics here, he might have them...

Also, you may not have 25 up and 25 down. Mine right now on a 0 moa base has only 13.5 down, the rest is up. So a 20 moa base will not work for me. This would still work if the zero was pushed out and not at 100 yards. Then a guy could just use holdunders. YMMV

He had a 20 moa base and 20 moa down, 60 moa up. I know that's not the specs but thas what his has. My 4200 6-24x50 only had about 40 instead of the 50 the specs say.

I always bough this scope from here. http://www.cambridgeworld.com/detail.php?item_id=33025

Good deal I think. I have 4200 6-24x50 also with 20 moa base. My 700 xcr Long range fire at 800 yards with 25.75 moa turned. So I think it's has more room for 700 xcr compact (20") with 20 moa base also. (4200 6-24x50 and 3200 5-15x40 are 50 moa up and down same spec)
