Well I can get a Bushnell elite 2-7x32 or Leupold FXII 4x33 for about the same price. The Bushnell has Raingaurd and better optics Im sure but 3 inch eye relief. Anyone out there tried both or either of these scopes and want to give me your opinion.

any reason you wouldn't want the viper 2-7 instead of the elite?  I know the rainguard and all but the scope covers with the viper would perform about the same and the price is great!

What SVT said. However, the 30-30 isn't a heavy kicker, so 3 inches ER should be fine. I'd also look at the Sightron SII 4X 32. It's a sweet little scope for about $190.00.

I had a 4x32 sightron SII and it was sweet but it had very critical eye relief and I had to mout it all the way forward and still needed just a little more mounting room for full view. I found a deal on a Bushnell Elite 2-7x32 (new model) for $200 and an FxII for the same price. Just trying to decide which is better. I will probably buy both and decide later. If I dont keep both anyone interested in an Elite 2-7x32 for $200?
