Need a Bushnell 10x40... Never let your wife in your gun safe!

[Badgersmilk]

The warranty's a really good point I hadn't investigated.    Just figured.  "Ahhh, no fault of theirs."

BUT, I did just find out this.  "No Questions Asked One Year Warranty ELITE Replacement Policy"


So, I'm out the 110 I spent on the "Trophy" scope (just got back the $30 rebate two days ago.   ).  BUT, all the more reason to go with the 10x40 this time!  

I've also learned that all the airgun "experts" seem to unanimously agree two piece rings are better than the one pc mount I was using.    I liked it!  But 2pc it shall be!  (Don't use red thread lock on an aluminum mount!!!)

You guys noticing how Midways prices aren't even close to being as competitive as they used to be?!?  I'm even seeing Amazon beat out ebay a lot of times!

If you want good prices from Midway you have to get a C&R License. If you send a copy to them you'll get dealer prices, which are very competitive, especially on scopes.  Bill T.

Any reason why they prefer the 2 piece rings? I've had good luck with a one piece RWS, but I'm always looking to improve. What's the rationale?

As tough as it to get a new scope that you want, it might be easier to find a new wife....Just sayin'.....

Last I checked a good quality wife was a lot more than $214, even on Amazon. Just sayin'.

I can guarantee that getting rid of the old one is WAY, WAY more!

I looked into a C&R in the past, but talked myself out of it (DUMB MOVE). 

Quaker, I searched through several forums for recommended mounts and each time they told the person to look up past threads there for the reasons, but in a couple different cases did specify these.

Some of the recommendations were from guys who'd been using them on big bore guns for some time.  On top that two of the airgun stores recommended using two piece mounts.  So for the price (WOW!) I figured what the heck, I'll take their words for it.   

Thanks for helping to look guys!  Gonna check a few local shops for the discontinued 3200 scope, but will break down soon and spend the $$ for the new "Tactical Elite".  Hate buying Chinese made optics, and what ninja came up that name?

MidwayUSA has THE 3200 10x40 on sale now at $199.99   In stock!

Thanks for the tip.  Unfortunately other places have the new "Tactical Elite 10X40" for only $15 more.  It's supposed to have better lens coatings, and better gas inside, "upgrading it to 4200 standards, but we got rid of the number system";  What the Bushnell guy told me.  AND that it's now made in China.    But with the warranty they offer...  I'm thinking it's worth the risk of Chinese fumbelry.

Quaker has a Bushnell scope he'd better NEVER let go of.  Unless it's to me!    They used to make all their lenses here in the US.  I know because my sister worked in their QA dept. and lost her job when ALL their products went Asian.  

If your shopping around for good prices on lots of stuff.  http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/ is one I like to check that doesn't show up when you Google stuff.  There are LOTS of places on the net like that.  Everybody has their own favorites that are GREAT to deal with, but are hard to find even on the internet.  Forums are a great place to share them!  HINT HINT!
