i just purchased a new bushnell elite 4200 8-32x40mm AO and it is awesome. it comes with two types of target turrets, sunshade and lens covers. all for under $395.00. in my opinion it puts everything else in the shade other than leupolds and high end european models. it will dial down to 10 yards, advertised 95% or greater light gathering, full multicoating lens, 1/8" clicks, solid sturdy one piece construction, great warranty, etc.
i have a sightron, swift, nikon and bushnell scopechief on my other rifles for comparison.
if you are interested go to e-bay and look for the "hunting" category than look for "scopes, lasers and optics". do a search for "elite 4200" and check out the listings of the 6-24x40mm or 8-32x40mm. either one is available new for under $400.00
in my experience when you go above 15x or so many of the affordable or medium priced scopes get a little dim to see thru, but the elite stays clear right up to the top
as i stated earlier this is my opinion based on my experience, but the elite 4200 stands up very well in comparisons to leupolds on other forums and is worth serious investigation
