Bushnell Elite 3200 3x9x40....Natchez still has a few Elites cheap. They got a 3500 really cheap and a few 4500s.

I've used that scope on multiple turkey guns, all 12 ga and most of them lightweight guns. It's taken a BEATING over the years...not just from recoil. Objective bell is dented a little from a drop when I was scooting around the edge of a rock...I dropped it and it landed on the scope on a limestone rock below. Didn't lose zero and it's always adjusted when I changed shotguns or rifles. Little sucker has 4.1" of eye relief and a massive 12.8 exit pupil.....so easy to get behind. It's not what I'd call a true "all around" hunting scope and certainly not a precision rifle scope but I'd like to find a couple more of them for AR's.

boatanchor Campfire Tracker B Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 3,652 Utah	Originally Posted by boatanchor One of my favorites for varmint hunting was the Leupold VX-III 6.5X20X40 Long Range. It was a 30mm tube with side focus, a target turret for elevation and a short turret for windage. mine tracks perfectly. they only made them for a short time before going to 50mm I have a few of these scopes (wish I had a few more), was checking the serial numbers. All were made in 2004 and within a couple hundred numbers of each other
