Can someone please tell me the difference between the Elite 4200 & 3200 and also if the 3200 is a comparable scope to the Monarch?

the main difference between the 3200, and the 4200, is the 4200 has better tube construction, which i beleave is one peice, and the 3200 is a 3 peice, im not positive though. the 4200 has 4 layer multi coated lense, where the 3200 has single coated lense. the 4200 is a MUCH clearer scope, and is superior to the monarch, and the 3200 is below the monarch.

ELITE 3200
The Elite® 3200 offers multi-coated optics for generous light transmission and crisp image quality. Our exclusive, patented Rainguard® lens coating reduces large drops of water to near-microscopic specks, dramatically increasing light transmission and resulting in a remarkably clear image in wet weather.
ELITE 4200
The brightest scope in the world. Period. Boasting 95% light transmission at 550nm, this is our top-of-the-line riflescope. Our exclusive, hydrophobic Rainguard® lens coating disperses condensation into microscopic specks, allowing you to literally see around moisture. All optical lens surfaces are fully multi-coated for maximum light transmission and the sharpest image. The ultra-strong one-piece tube is hammer-forged from an aluminum and titanium alloy for 30% more strength than standard aluminum scopes. Finally, our Elite® 4200 scopes offer some of the largest magnification ranges in the industry for optimum versatility in the most challenging hunting situations. The scope's rugged design is recoil tested to 10,000 rounds of a .375 H&H magnum. If you're a serious hunter the Elite 4200 will do justice to your commitment.
FEATURES :
Both are one piece, 4200 is titanium alloy (stronger). 4200 is fully multicoated, 3200 is multicoated. 4200 has a full saddle section that houses the windage and elevation, 3200 has windage and elevation adjustments that are attached to the tube. 4200 has a 4x erector (4-16 instead of 4-12).

No, I believe it is the same glass regardless of the Firfly reticle. All 4200s are fully-multi-coated, all 3200s are multi-coated.

This is what is listed under features for the Elite 3200. Does not really make sense. I copied and pasted it off their site.

I just noticed at the magazine rack in Rifle Shooter that one of those high powered writers was testing a swar a-line, a VXIII, and the elite 3200. He was in love with the swaro(I can understand why), and he was more impressed all the way around with the 3200 over the Leupold. I have no experiece with the 3200 but was surprised. Is the 3200 that good or the Leupold "not so good"?

Are you sure that it was a 3200 and not a 4200 Elite that was being compared? I would find it hard to believe they would compare Bushnells second from the top with the top of the line models from the other two companies and it would come out on top.

Dave44...I found it hard to believe too, but it was the 3200. I'll get the author and magazine info for you ASAP.

Grubbs is correct. It was RifleShooter Magazine Jan./ Feb. 2005. If the author was that impressed with the 3200 tested, imagine how the comparo would have gone with the 4200 Elite 2.5-10x40!!!!
