[QUOTE="tylercleary, post: 59569, member: 3562"] Hi everyone, this is my first post at this site but I’ve been coming here for a while reading all of the posts. I am posting this here because I have come to value many of the opinions and experience of its members. I’m looking at replacing the scope on my 300 Win Mag. The rifle is a Remington bdl laminated stainless, left hand (terrible affliction for shooters). The scope I’m looking to buy is the Bushnell Elite 4200 4-16X40. I live and hunt in Oregon, and the rain guard coating is very appealing - there is always a time during my hunt that my scope gets wet before I’m ready to put my covers back on. Additionally, the glass in these scopes are very good, as I’m sure many of you know. The other feature of these scopes I like is the short target turrets. This is a walking hunting rifle but would like to take advantage of a scope that can offer adjustable and repeatable clicks to take longer shots. So, my question is how durable are these scopes? I’ve seen lots of posting praising their glass but really don’t know how well they hold up over the long haul? Now keep in mind this is a hunting rifle and not a tactical rifle. The rain guard and power is the big attraction. I’ve looked at 5.5-16 Monarchs but feel the lower power setting is a little on the high side. I’m open to opinions. Tyler [/QUOTE]
