I am of a different opinion on the Elite Tactical 4200 line. I bought one of them new from SWFA for my .22WMR a couple of years back after being very satisfied with their 3-9x32 rimfire scope for my .22lr plinker. The Elite 4200 was a 3-9x40 with the same duplex reticle. When I compared the two side by side I was pretty dissapointed. The Elite's reticle was a little thinner. However only at 8 or 9x did the Elite look better than the Bushnell rimfire scope. Perhaps I expected too much from a $270 scope, perhaps their rimfire scope was just really good for $40...all I can say is that both held up to recoil of the .22 WMR just fine and held zero well. I should of gone with a cheaper alternative.
