Wow. The Bushnell 3200 is now on the top of my list to put on my ML. Thanks everyone for your comments.
Cheers,
Chris

3200 wins in a landslide. I have one in 4X12X40 with adjustable objective an ballistic plex reticle and really like it. Raingard is a real plus. The Pro Staff isn't in the same league (although a Nikon Buckmaster is - I have a Buckmaster 3X9X40 on my Omega and it is perhaps the brightest scope I own).
Another good scope and great value is a Burris Fullfield II 3X9X40 with Ballistic Plex reticle. My .270 wears one and I love it too. It can be had for around $200.00 (bought mine on ebay for $140 very slightly used). Lifetime warrenty, the reticle assembly is very well made, fully multicoated optics, American company - how can you go wrong?

As Cayugad can support, the Prostaff will definitely stand up to recoil.

I have a 2x7 Bushnell Elite with firefly on my shotgun, probably about 5 years old, I've had no problems and it seems like a nice scope.
I just installed new scope on my Knight, went looking for the same scopes you mention, left with a T/C scope, heck I didn't even know they made scopes, anyway I spent 150.00 on a 3x9, what sold me was the eye relief, may be worth checking out

On eye relief, who has been hit in the head by there 3200 after firing a shot? Come on someone must have crept the scope. Please tell. I want to know if this is really a problem or a marketing tool.
I had a scope on my Granddad's gun get me once and I had a nice gash on my forehead for about 2 weeks. (-:But I think I just crept too far foward and it was not an eye relief issue. But boy am I aware of it now.
Cheers,
Chris
