    Rifle Scopes New Guy - Just bought a Bushnell Elite 4200 3-12x

    Re: New Guy - Just bought a Bushnell Elite 4200 3-12x No, it's the Badger 20 MOA base (306-06). Since we're at it... RE: Badger rings - I always wondered why when you see photos of the rings, the top half seems not to match the bottom half. Turns out, that's because the bottom half's sides...

    Re: New Guy - Just bought a Bushnell Elite 4200 3-12x Here is the 6-24x50 Bushy in Badger Lows on a 20 MOA base. OK for a 50, but higher than I would normally like it.

    Re: New Guy - Just bought a Bushnell Elite 4200 3-12x Anyone know what height Badger rings to go with a 20 MOA Badger rail on a Rem 700 Varmint 308 for the 3-12x44 Bushy???

    Rifle Scopes New Guy - Just bought a Bushnell Elite 4200 3-12x

    Re: New Guy - Just bought a Bushnell Elite 4200 3-12x I agree. These are no ordinary scopes... Variable power, Mil/Mil, First Focal Plane and even illuminated reticle thrown in for good measure. If a scope company even makes such a beast, what's the cost of one... can you even find one for...

    Re: New Guy - Just bought a Bushnell Elite 4200 3-12x Mine is on it's way back to Natchez (again...), 3rd times a charm? For features, these scopes are worth twice the price. They just have to be right.

    Rifle Scopes New Guy - Just bought a Bushnell Elite 4200 3-12x

    Re: New Guy - Just bought a Bushnell Elite 4200 3-12x And therein lies the hitch... A mil/mil FFP 3-12x44 with great glass for under $540 A mil/mil FFP 6-24x50 with great glass for under $630 Both are even illuminated (as far as price is concerned). So, I guess it will be a compromise one...

    Re: New Guy - Just bought a Bushnell Elite 4200 3-12x No grease under the 3-12x's turrets. Grease is internal. But I don;t know if I buy Bushnell's explanation of "we must have used the wrong grease". Like I say my 6-24x has acceptable turrets, the 3-12x no way.

    Rifle Scopes New Guy - Just bought a Bushnell Elite 4200 3-12x

    Re: New Guy - Just bought a Bushnell Elite 4200 3-12x How are the turrets? Nice "dry" clicks or muddy notchs??? 3-12 is for my 20" Tactical and the 6-24x is for my 5R. May just have to invest some more beans to get the quality...

    Rifle Scopes New Guy - Just bought a Bushnell Elite 4200 3-12x

    Re: New Guy - Just bought a Bushnell Elite 4200 3-12x Just received my Bushnell Elite Tactical 4200 FFP 3-12x and also the Tactical 4200 FFP 6-24x. I searched Google to find any issues with the turrets that I have on the 3-12x. There is no crisp click for each notch on the turret, both...
