Rifle Scopes Thoughts on bushnell 3200 10x40

[snipertime]

OK guys I have owned three of these scopes, one being a mil/mil version. I just picked up another for about 150 from swfa. I have used these scopes out to 600 and they track and perform very well for me. I know there are other options out there for much more money but have found this a great scope for shooting man silhouette targets. Any opinions , views, testimonials? How many of you guys own these?

I have one as well and recommend them to people just starting in long range shooting. They are inexpensive and have decent glass. They also make you realize you don't need 20x magnification to shoot at distance. I have never had a tracking issue, well worth $150.00-$200.00 imho.

Yea a lot of people over think the power of a scope. Before I joined the Marines back in 02, being a small town kid from Mississippi that kills 20 deer a year, you couldn't convince me that a 3 power scope could kill accurately at 200 yards. You need a 20x at 100yds i thought. Then Paris Island 500yds peepsights wow...... Then on to the fleet where I learned to engage at 1000 with a 10x scope, Then we got the newer 3-12 model later on. I look back at how silly me thinking that was. Lol

Had it then I went to the SS 10x (better glass and AO). I now have SS 12x mil/mil. If you can go afford $300 then SS is the way to go.

I have two that I have not been gentle with and they have always functioned and tracked perfectly. I don't hesitate to recommend them.

Have one I got from Midway on my SPS .308. Shooting 600-800-900-1000. Would be nice to have more zoom for spotting hits on steel. i can barely make out bullet splash at 600. Nothing past that distance though.
The glass is clear, tracks perfect, and it's about putting the crosshairs on-target anyway right? Shot 1/2 moa at 1000 last months match..
They are a great value for the $$ spent.

Not having parallax adjustment sucks. The Super Sniper is a WAY better value and yes I've owned both.

I have the 10x40 and love it. It cannot be beat for the money. The SS 10x40 with parallax for another $100 is not bad either.

The 3200 10x is an excellent piece for the money.

However the new reticle on the SWFA SS 10x may make it my new "budget" choice. I just need to get my hands on one to see how the glass compares.

The 3200 10x was better than the old SS10x I have seen. I have not had a chance to compare with the latest versions.

I bought two of them when they changed the labeling of the lines. I held one for a .308 I ended up selling before mounting the scope. The other I put on 20" AR for long range.

I took a class with it and managed to get 2nd and 3rd round hits on an army pop up range to 700 meters. The scope and spotter did great work. I just pulled the trigger.

I am planning on trying one on a .22 bolt rifle. I have a Savage Mk II FV arriving Monday.

I like both of mine. One sits on my 700 while the other is on my XL7. A SWFA SS 10x42M is going on the next build.
