Are Bushnell scopes better than Nikon scopes?
I was interested in the Nikon buckmaster in the 4.5-14(40) and the monarch in the 4-16 but was told not to worry about it. I came across the Bushnell Elite 3200 in the 5-15(40). Im not sure which is a better. Both of which are at great prices which gained my attention. Can anyone resolve my problem.
Nikon makes good scopes, as does Bushell
You need to compare apples to apples.
Bushnell's premium scope is the Bushnell Elite 6500, followed by the Bushnell Elite 4200, then the Bushnell Elite 3200, then Legend, then Banner and Trophy (I don't know which is better between those two) and at the bottom is the Bushnell Sportsman.
For Nikon their premium is the Nikon Monarch Gold and Monarch X, followed by Monarch, then Nikon's Buckmaster, then Nikon Prostaff
Bushnell's 6500 is better than Nikon Prostaff
Nikon Monarch is better than Bushnell Banner
Apples to Apples, from best to worst
Nikon Monarch Gold/Nikon Monarch X = Bushnell Elite 6500
Nikon Monarch = Bushnell Elite 4200
Nikon Buckmaster = Bushnell Elite 3200
Nikon Prostaff = Bushnell Legend
No Nikon equivalent = Bushnell Banner and Trophy
No Nikon equivalent = Bushnell Sportsman
So yes, the Bushnell Elite 3200 is just as good as the Nikon Buckmaster...but then they are priced pretty similar too.
You get what you pay for.
You don't get a better scope by going with a different brand, you get a better scope by paying a few hundred more dollars.
