I am curious what everyone's thoughts on these are?
I've only seen them online, but am very interested.
I'm a big Bushnell Elite Fan (when they were named 3200/4200), I own over a half dozen, bought many as they were closing out the numerals and replacing them with one elite line.
Well the new Elites...wow, they want good money for them. Most are the same price level as the old 4200 series, and to my un-educated eyes they look just like the old 3200's
Well along comes this new "Legend HD Ultra" line. It comes with a rainguard, and many look like some of the scopes from the 3200 lineup. I've not a chance to view them in person. The local dealers are almost all Nikon and Leupold (only). They look nice by the specs.
Are they Trophy XLT quality or Elite 3200 quality? I haven't seen where they are made. I am suspicioning China, as there was a "limited edition" run of side-focus Bushnell Elites awhile ago that were made in China.
The OLD Legend series were pretty nice, From what I hear, basically Elite 3200's, just without the rainguard coatings and a bit cheaper lense coatings.
Any info would be great, as the 1.75-5X DOA looks like it'd be great to stick on my newly arriving AK-74. Only 10.25" long, that's shorter than some 1-4X scopes, holdover marks for 300-400 yards (I know its DOA 200, but they'd work as referance marks) and it'd be nice, more durable than some of the el-cheapo's like Sightmark,etc.
Thank you! |
