OK, thanks Don:
Chris at SWFA ( www.riflescopes.com ) has some good info:
Quote:
They are made in the same factory as the Bushnell Elite scopes. The Browning scope has a hair more eye relief . They also rate the light transmission at 93% instead of 94% like the 4200 scopes (probably a marketing ploy so Bushnell can still advertise the brightest scope made). The tube is constructed out of standard aluminum stock and the Elite uses a special alloy. The Elite also has rainguard and the Browning does not. Elites come with a $100.00 gear bag too.
So basically its a stripped down 4200 with different cosmetics. If any gun maker branded scope ever had a chance of making it.....this one is it. We just special ordered two for Hank Williams Jr. that are shipping out today.

Chris, looks to me that the Browning scopes are more akin to the 3200's when you compare the models offered, specs and the fast focus eyepiece that is on the 3200. If that is the case, I hope that they are utilizing quality optics and your not just paying for the Browning name. Maybe the Browning logo is 18K gold!!!
