Rifle Scopes What's the difference between these two scopes?

[atalkingsausage]

I'm looking for a new scope to go on my 700 and I've been looking at the Bushnell Elite 3200 tactical. But I just found the Bushnell ET1040 for a considerably lower price and to me they appear to be pretty much the same scope other than the fact that the 3200 uses mil click adjustments rather than MOA adjustments. Can anyone enlighten me on the difference? I'll post links to both scopes below.

It's the same scope. One is using a mil based adjustment the other is using a moa based adjustment. Midway is using the correct name for the scope the other company is calling a ET1040 which would be short for elite tactical 10x40 fixed.

Go with the mil/mil scope.

I wouldn't call $20 'considerably lower price.' Go with the mil/mil from Midway.

It is a "considerably lower price" when Midway sells the same scope for $230. But agreed, go with the mil/mil.

Unfortunately i won't be able to buy either scope until after midway's sale on the 3200 is expired. So that means I have to consider the cost of that scope to be 250 instead of 199.

that scope goes on sale every other month at midway so if you can't get it before the sale expires wait a month and it will be back on again.

Ah good to know. I'll probably be getting it around Christmas.
