I sense that the leupy lovers are getting a little touchy about the B&L Elite scopes. Improvements are steady and they are THE bargain in a good scope. Don't see any loss of clarity around edges of my 4200 elites or the new elites. Don't have any adjustment problems----they may not be perfect, but I don't play with them all the time. For those of us who don't "crawl the stock" there is no eye relief problem with 3.3 to 3.5 inches. But if you need 4 inches, I understand! Finally, I will say that not all eyes see different scope glass quality the same. Some do look better than others to different folks regardless of price!!!
The elites simply represent a very good, AFFORDABLE hunting scope!
