After extensive research, I purchased a Bushnell Elite 3200 3-9x40 rifle scope for hunting last year. This scope produces a very sharp and bright image, even in lower light situations and at higher magnification levels. I looked at a lot of scopes before buying this one, and I don't think you can beat it for the money. It has everything I need for hunting in the Texas hill country.
Pros: Value for the money, image clarity & sharpness, ease of use
Cons: Cumbersome "strap on" lens covers
