[QUOTE="Danno, post: 19111, member: 2485"] Among the scopes riding my varmint rifles are: Weaver V16 and V24, and Bushnell 4200 4-16x. I don't have a 4200 6-24x yet, but I know some experienced shooters who do and have found the same things. And based on my usage, I would go with the 4200 6-24x on a custom rig, and the V24 or V16 on a humble factory rifle like a Ruger VT. Here are some of my findings: V24: Loses some image contrast from a little over 20x to 24x. Fine crosshair reticle good for varminting beyond 600 yards. Medium turret markings are clear, repeatable clicks have clean feel. Sunshade NOT included. 4200 4-16x: Clearer optics to the edge. Medium turrets have finer complete turn markings and are a little harder for us with presbyopia to read - remedied with a little magnifying glass. Sunshade included. V16: Repeatable medium turrets, but all 3 I've used have sloppy feel. Glass is fair, but not quite as good as 4200. No sunshade, either. To summarize, the V-series is a bust buy on a tighter budget, but the 4200 is money well spent for a more enjoyment. It's one of those situations where you get what you pay for. Hope your search is fruitful....danno [ 05-14-2004: Message edited by: Danno ] [/QUOTE]
