Thinking about a Bushnell Elite 3200 5-15x40 or Viper 4-12x40 for just hunting (Marlin 308mx). Most shots between 200- 300 yards but have 400 yrd possibilities. Im turning into a magnification junkie and I like the idea of Bushnell weather gaurd and more eye relief with Bushnell. I have a Viper 2-7x32 which tracks perfect and glass seems very good, I just want more power for my eyes. Bushnell is $90 more than Viper. Weaver seems to have a few in the 4-16 range but not real familiar with them. My wallets threshold is under $400 at this time . Any and all comments appreciated. Happy hunting! |

As far as 3200 vs Viper...
Koshkin said Diamondback trumps 3200. Vortex says Viper trumps Diamondback. One of the Vipers on sale is a 6.5-20, or something like that. You could be the first one on your block to put one on a lever-action. |

Marlin 308 MX and your shots under 300 yards + budget = 4200 2.5-10 ( or save a couple bucks and go with a 4200 3-9 )
