RD,
Yeah, the 2.5-10x 4200's seem to be pretty consistent, but whether all the parts of all the Elites have been made in the same factories might be a good question. And whether Bushnell is still paying for the same level of maufacture would be another question.
Don't get me wrong. I've tested a lot of good optics labeled Bushnell over the years. Many have been great, but some have been better than others.
