Scope Help

Jonty

Hi all,


I'm looking at a Bushnell 4200 elite in 6-24x40 for my .223 for lamping and informal target shooting. Does anybody have one here? What's the going rate for them? What are the "semi target turrets" about? and I suppose finally are they any good??

Thanks,

Jonty

I have a Bushnell Elite 4200 3-9x 40 very bright scope and well built.
IMO a completely different league to other bushnell scopes.
I think for lamping a larger objective would be better 50mm if possible and the firefly reticle is a very good idea.
Can't help on the semi-target turrets but they are probably just longer and easier to adjust.

Take a look herehttp://www.theopticzone.com/

I bought my 4200 6-24x40 for my 223 from them..Great scope..I have it on my 17 hmr now as i bought a nightforce nxs for the 223.

You will have to pay vat on there price as well as delivery but at the end of the day it is still a good price for a great scope. You wont be dissapointed with it..

There's two different model's. The one with the side focushttp://theopticzone.com/detail.aspx?ID=4095 and the one without http://theopticzone.com/detail.aspx?ID=3285

I've got the one with the side focus.

For the extra $100 get the side focus model. Very bright and clear scope for the money.

I've bought a Zeiss Conquest from that lad when I was looking for a Bushnell Elite. I rang him and asked for a bit of help making up my mind and he recommended to get an entry level Zeiss instead. Very happy to have followed his advice as well, mine is a 3-9X470 and it's excellent in daylight just as well as with the lamp. Scott, if I remember correctly is the owner of the place. It's also a real bricks and mortar shop in Connecticut.

correct. Very good- very serious;)

AFAIK "semi target turrets" are turrets that have more markings on them than regular turrets... the 4200 has complete rotation markings as well as moa markings.
