    I bought a Browning A Bolt in 7mm Mag from a guy on another duck site that had the exact scope and it does a great job.

    decent scope. i have the 4.5-14 AO. not the best light gatherer but not the worst either. handles haze from looking into sunrise/sunset better than something like a simmons.

    I have the buckmaster 3x9x40 and have enjoyed it. A lot better scope than the bushnell low-end 3x9x40 that I had for light gathering. My cousin bought the bushnell elite 3200 firefly. I am very impressed with that scope. It is as clear as his Leuopold, but has neat little glow in the dark reticles. He says it makes lining up those late evening shots a little easier.

    The 3200 is a good scope, but the 4200 and the Weaver Grand Slam are better. You can see the difference at near dark. The 3.5X10X50mm GS costs about $300 and is the best value that I know of.
    If it ain\'t accurate at long distance, then the fact that it is flat shooting is meaningless.
