I am about to buy a used 3200 Elite. I always thought these were lifetime warranty scopes just like Leupold or Zeiss but the current wording on the Bushnell site leads me to think these are only warrantied to the original owner. Does anyone know for sure the current policy?

Do a search one their website elite+3200 you'll get their Elite 3200 series Product Manual, follow the link below, read the warranty info to answer your question.

If you just click on the 100% Bullet Proof Guarantee on the home page it appears to be only for purchases between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2014.

I'd followup with a CYA phone call to Bushnell on Monday regardless of what anyone says (including me), you can get the number from the Bushnell web site.

Thanks for that link Mike. I was simply going by the statement on this page.

Since 1984, the majority of our Bushnell sports optics products have been covered by a Limited Lifetime Warranty. Bushnell Outdoor Products guarantees these products to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for the lifetime of the original owner.

The "original owner" part was what had me concerned.

I will my friend but I have already given my word on buying the 3200. I sure hope it is lifetime transferable. I hate to think I made an expensive mistake, well not too expensive but this was to be a gift to a friend who is shooting a $30 blister pack Bushnell.
