Klallen is right...olde eyes always need more. those PDs are small and i thought the extra xxxs would help at the 400 yds plus plains rats.
Regarding the 4200 B&L (aka Bushnell) Elite. I bought this scope on the advise of a guy i knew from shooters. A great rifleman, who had an unusual profession, usually only talked about in paperback books. Olde Sarge. He swore by this scope for long range, and in some e-mails said that what he liked best was the eyerelief didn't change with power like he thought the Leupold did. well, I was going to Africa for a 3 week safari and needed a general game rifle, Ruger 77 in 338. But i also wanted to use the gun for night hunting leopards over bait, so large Objective lens was required. I got the Elite with a 50 mm front. It was a perfect scope and rugged, the bluing got warn off lots of barrel from bumping around but that loooog cantelevered scope with the extra lens shade never moved. i can only say good things about the 4000 and the 4200 (3000 and 3200 are also quality scopes).
Unfortunately IMHO the eyerelief changes just like most scopes. i really wanted to have some fun with Olde Sarge on Shooters when i got back. unfortunately, I learned second hand that he had died. a real loss to that board, i had lots of respect for his opinions. i had his private e-mail address, he was living mostly in Austrailia. i e-mailed his address and got a short but sweet reply from his wife. Since then I've had a number of computer crashes and lost his e-mail address.
But, i have a feeling in the business he was in the 'death' might have been a creation. i hope some day to see him on the internet again. Resurection????? On this topic, a guy logged on one time either here or 24 camp, with the handle 'old sarge'. I asked politely if he had been resurrected, he disappeared never responding. I hope old sarge is still lurking out there, and killing 'roos for the bounty in his 'off-time'. I thought his Sako trg in 338 lapua was a bit much for 'roos, but I think he liked to sharpen his skills for large mammals.
i've been collecting parts for a new rifle, sniper shock, M700 SA, and the 4200 elite. i just can't figure what cartridge?????? i was going with the 260 R, but now I got a 260 R kimber.
