Bushnell Elite 3200 3-10 x 50
Hi, has the scope got a 1" or 30mm tube?
Re: Bushnell Elite 3200 3-10 x 50
HI, to be honest I was really looking for a 30mm tube, as I don't want to buy new mounts for my 700. I was looking at a 3-9x50 3200 firefly ret on Pigeon watch, but to be honest the guy seems a little dodgy.
In any case, whats the best price you would sell the scope for?

It is a 1" tube from the good 'ol US of A, its a new model just been launched, its shorter than its predecessor the 3-8 x 50, I have just added some specs from the Bushnell Website, I can send you a link if you like.

Hi FB, Bushnell did do a FF 3-9x50 30mm (try google). I have matched Badger rails & rings on my 700 sps tactical, at the moment I have a 10x42 on the top which isn't exactly a stalking scope, hence my search for a new scope. Not in any rush at all as it's a .308 and I'll be using my .243" on the roe.
If I were to buy a 1" tubed scope, it's going to set me back £150 for rings, which is why I am looking for a 30mm scope. I do however I have 30mm Titan (original) on my CZ .22rf which would go well on the .308 and rings for that are cheap as chips.

Two things,
First item: the Scope on Pigeon watch is NOT NEW,
second, I cannot find a 3-9 x 50 Firefly with a 30mm tube, they are all listed as 1",
mine is new in the box with all paperwork, I only broke the seal to photograph it, happy to supply a set of rings if i have some to suit.

the importers JJ Vickers don't even list these yet, $338 is what they retail for in the US.
Natchez are selling the 3-10x50 3200 for $219.95 + UK shipping $50, so thats $269.95 or £168 (I can forward their email if you want proof).

Just out of interest it will cost £198 all in.
I've purchased upwards of twenty scopes from the US and am aware of the costs. However, I was simply pointing out that your guesstimate of $300+ was totally way off the mark but hey good luck with the sale.

Yep, if you add import duty and VAT @ 20% that would come to: £220 and the courier would charge £25 to collect the VAT and Duty, been there done that . . be my guest
or you could have a holiday in the US and buy one.

So go buy one
So why are you wasting my time
Retail price quoted was from the Bushnell Website in the US.
JJ Vickers UK distributors have 3-9 x 50 Firefly at £351 and 3-9 x 50 DOA @ £450 so who is overpriced ?
