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 Sad.  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 )

Save a tad more and go Bushnell 4-16x40.
