5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic optic at an unbeatable price., May 28, 2009

This review is from: Bushnell Elite 4200 1.25-4 x 24 Matte Rainguard Riflescope (Sports)

This optic is a fantastic value. It is a good $150 cheaper here than at most other online retailers. The glass is insanely clear and the build quality is great (typical of Japanese optics).

Not mounted yet but initial impression is its very nice glass for the money.

The glass is extremely bright and clear. I would put it a notch above my Nikon Monarch 6.5-20. In dusk, the scope actually makes the image brighter than my naked eye shows.

It is built very nicely and is somewhat heavy. Today was cloudy but the illuminated dot was bright and easy to pick up on the "1" setting. With 9 additional brightness settings, I could easily see the dot being daytime visible.

The German #4 reticle seems to allow for quick acquisition. The 1.25x allows for two eyes open comfortably (for me) past about 15 yards or so. There was no information included on how to "use" the reticle. Perhaps there is no range estimation with the #4 reticle?

One thing I was disappointed with were the turrets. It has hunter style turrets. While this isnt necessarily a bad thing, my Monarch has spoiled me with target turrets. On a scope like this, however, I will probably zero it and not mess with the turrets much from there (99% of my shots will be within 200 yards and mostly within 100). That said, the turret adjustments are extremely crisp with a nice audible click.

Obviously I have not mounted it to check zero or do the box test. It will probably be a few weeks before that happens but initial impressions are extremely positive.

If you are on the fence, get this optic. You wont find a better price on it.

Ignore the inaccurate description. This model has the 4A illuminated dot reticle. This is a nice heavy scope with clear glass. And at the sale price it can only be 5 stars...

This review is from: Bushnell Elite 4200 1.25-4 x 24 Matte Rainguard Riflescope (Sports)

I just received this scope was very enthused about trying on out on my rifle. When it arrived, i gave it a cursory examination and it looked great. The optics are very bright and extremely sharp and clear. Problems were noted from that point on. With the battery installed, the illuminated reticle would not work, no matter how I tried to coax it to. Since the product instructions shipped with this scope are "generic" instructions for ALL "Elite" series Bushnell scopes, there was NO mention of the illuminated reticle versions. So, there is no way of knowing if or how you can trouble-shoot this problem. I've e-mailed Bushnell's customer service department and will call them during their listed business hours. I'm hoping to get this problem resolved without too many problems because I like this scope.
