Bushnell elite 3200 2-7x32 = under 200.00

Or, I have a 3-9x50 3200 Elite that I'll let go for $160 shipped.

How would these models compare in overall quality...I know that's a very general and vague question, but it seems others must have made the same decision:
Vortex Diamondback
Weaver Classic V
Bushnell 3200
Thanks!

2. Weaver
3. Vortex

I know that on the opticstalk forum the Vortex line is getting very good feedback...
so.. while we have you here (vortex rep)
what the market lacks is a good ill ret 2-7
any chance you guys are working on one?
I bet if you posted a question on the optics talk forum there would be lots of interest
Manufacturer
We're working on quite a few new things, but I can't reveal anything about them yet.Originally Posted by ccoker
I think they will interest a lot of people here though. I'll be posting an announcement in our forum here on the site once we're ready.

Economies of scale is enlightening. Once you have to buy for your kids, too, budgets become critical. If I had to buy now, I could get the Weaver for $150. Diamondback is $175... 3200 is $200, and...
FYI... I just found a deal through CameraLand for a Viper for $250 with free binoculars, IIRC that's with the $50 rebate. That looks like a screaming deal. I bought from Doug in the past, and CL is good people. My Pentax Pioneer was an amazing deal for $89.
From what I've read, the Leupold Rifleman just isn't up to par with these others, for the same price. Let me know if someone has convincing evidence otherwise...
Fortunately, I am looking ahead to next season, so I don't have to jump. I would gladly pay a little extra for a solid e-dot, however that's obviously something you don't want to rush and have go wrong...

I use a Weaver 2.5 to 7 on my light weight AR carbine and it has given me good service. I paid $129 plus tax from a local dealer a couple of years ago. It is a Japanese made optic (not Chinese) of excellent optical and mechanical quality, especially considering the price. The combo has whacked a lot of badgers.
