I am sure there Bushnells that are lucky to survive a box of ammo and others that you could take on that to Africa for that Hunt-Of-A-Lifetime.I have been told the 4200 series is tougher than the Leupold Vari-X III,they are certainly heavier
.I don't think the Bushnell Elites are better design,though.
I'll report back on service when my old Scopechief comes back.
