I have a Bushnell elite 3200 on top of my model 7. It works well and I have taken a few deer and smaller critters with it. I was planning on upgrading eventually. Ditto. I mainly use it for predator calling (larger predators, usually at close range) but shoot deer with it now and then. The 3200 Elite in 2-7 has become my favorite scope.

Bought a Weatherby Mark V ultralight .243 from one of our .com friends. Its scope is a Bushnell 4200 4-16X40.

I only have one .243, a Browning BAR. It wears open sights.

Cabelas Euro 3-9x40 w/ EXT reticle. This is the re-branded Meopta scope. I really like the optics. The reticle is a little thin.

Leupold vx-1 3-9x40. My .243 {Tikka M595} gets used for deer in the fall and chucks in the summer. Scope seems completely adequate for both uses to me. Have killed chucks out to 360 yards with it and that's about as far as I'll ever get a shot opportunity here.

Have two .243 wins, varmint rig wears a VX2 4-12X. Works fine for chucks, but if only just on yotes, I'd swap to a 3-9X. [img:center] ![[Linked Image]](http://i.imgur.com/9PoZkDE.jpg) [/img] Deer .243 wears a 4X (#1 RSI)

Sorry to thread jack, but I have a question about that scope/reticle combo. I can't find anything from Cabelas on how to use that reticle. Is there a manual? If I buy one, it will go on a .270.

![[Linked Image]](http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm317/tedscouton/campfire/IMG_0678_2.jpg) After starting this thread I found this Kahles 2-7x38 TDS here on in the classifieds. Today was the first range day and this is officially my favorite 2-7! Works great on my little Savage 16 LightweightHunter .243, now if I could figure out the drop using the TDS!
