I was going to say at least Bushnell has a lifetime warranty, but wouldn't you know it

I buy every old bushnell I can find. The 70/80,s vintage were jap made, steel tubed and very strong. I usually pay next to nothing for them because they aren,t a Leupold or tactical but I think they are great. I have a 4 x Wide angle on a 308 lever and I haven't needed to change a zero since 1983. If my rifle ever fails I could take it off and beat things to death with it. I picked up a 1.5 -4 power a week ago and it is clear ,strong and beautifully old school. The old ones are a good thing.

If you can get the Bushnells made in Japan, they do tend to be a lot better quality all around then the junk they produce in indonesia and the philippines.
If something doesn't work, apply rule .303!

I tend to agree with happyhunter, I have several old Japanese made Bushnell which have given decades of great service. I also have 2 American made Elite,(former Bausch & Lomb) which are as good as the Leupold I replaced with them.for clarity and eye relief. Elites have all been made in Japan since 2004. Look for where they were made and buy accordingly, Cheers.

I now have 4 elites a 6-24x50 (ET6245FG) a 5-15x40 (ET5154) and 2 3-9x40 one is a E3940 (elite) and one is 353940 (3500 elite) I don't know the difference between the last 2 but the appear to be identical other than a few different markings and badges on the scopes.
Happy with bushnell scopes.

Probably just an alteration of the same design.

Replacing one minor component with a stronger one or something along those lines to resolve a minor issue discovered after release.
