$30 rebate on the 3-9x40 and $50 rebate on the 4-16x44 (I think that one has a 30mm tube).
I'll admit to being an unabashed Bushnell fanboy. They mostly seem to make decent glass at pretty good prices. I haven't read much in the way of reviews as their new line has only been out a couple of months.
I just picked up the 3-9x40 to replace the Trophy XLT 3-9x40 on my AR-15. A little over an ounce lighter and a MOA dot reticle so I can do holdovers. Seems to have a few more catchy coatings and stuff on it than the XLT line. Might be somewhat higher quality glass. Hopefully. I don't dislike the XLT on my AR-15, but it is slightly soft from 7-9x with some chromatic aberration. All minimal, but noticeable.
I also have an XLT on my Sako .308. That one DOES seem to have an issue where it doesn't seem to be all the way in focus at longer ranges, but is focused if you dial down the power to 6x or so. It isn't a softness issue, it is a very slight out of focus and I can't dial it out with the diopter adjustment.
I'll probably see about sending it to Bushnell to see how good the lifetime warranty is. I'll admit to having picked that one up used though. For now the XLT from my AR is going on my Sako and the new Engage scope on the AR. The Sako kind of screams for nice glass, but it is my deer rifle and I just don't really have a need to shoot past 200yds with it, so Plain cross hairs are fine. Also the rifle is already pretty light. Eventually I'll get nicer glass for it. Some day.
