Don't forget about Meopta Meostar! Great scopes, great prices, you'll love them. If you don't need too much magnification the 3-12x56 is VERY bright, and you can get it with an illuminated reticle if you like. 30mm tube, too. Drummer

I really like the Bushnell 4200 series, especially the Rainguard feature. I would not buy another hunting scope that didn't have a similar coating.

i would, i dont hunt in the rain its to cold during my rifle season for it to rain, the 4200 is a pretty good scope but i would take a zeiss conquest or a kahles kx or a trijicon accupoint over the 4200 all day long, when i compared the 4200 to my nikon monarch, and i know tahqua did the same we both concluded optically its to close to call, but the rainguard is nice if you hunt in rainy conditions no doubt.

The Rainguard not only helps in the rain but it helps in the cold too (I know for a fact it gets cold in Minnesotta). The 4200 does not fog up as easy in the cold, and it clears up quicker. I remember one time I climbed this big old mountain to get on a herd of elk, and when I finally got into position my Leupold was all fogged up. This probably happened because I was breathing so hard after climbing the mountain. By the time I got my optics cleaned up it was a long shot and the elk had gone over another ridge (I refer to what followed as the longest night of my life). I don't think I would have had that problem with the 4200.
On of my friends has a Zeiss Conquest, and when I compared the two they seemed almost identical optically. This was a few years ago, so maybe the things have changed.
I had a trijicon accupoint (the 1-4x) and was quite disapointed. It was not all that bright and it had a lot of distortion. Maybe I just got a bad one. Are they really in the same class optically as the 4200/Monarch? I had an ACOG and it seemed quite a bit better than the Accupoint.

Ya but, to brag to your buddies you have a Kahles or a Zeiss is worth the extra cost right
Its just like everything else though, once you hit the point of diminishing return you always start to get less and less improvement for the added effort or cost. I don't think my 4200 is in the same league as my IOR and Meopta optics, I think its a nice scope but it ended up on my .357 lever gun for a reason. But that being said I don't think you can go wrong with one for the price. I think they are built to the exact point where the return you get is in perfect balance with the cost. It they made them better the cost would really jump up. |

Lifetime warranty and excellent customer service don't mean a thing when your gun fails during a zombie attack.

it wouldnt impress anybody at my deer camp if i rolled up with s&b scope, they dont care, which is why most of them still use 1980's bushnell banners and such, now if i showed up with a high dollar kimber rifle that would make a wave or two. having the most expensive equipment on the planet doesnt make you a good hunter or a good marksman, if you have the skills to back it up it will but if you dont have any of the skills to use with the best stuff money can buy, all you are is a poser who spent a ton of money for no reason.
