My uncle who has decided to upgrade his scopes has given me both of these in great condition. Looking for opinions on which one i should mount on my savage 110 30-06 for hunting season.
I used Elite 3200s for years on all my hunting rifles, and found them to be an excellent scope for the money. I put a Vortex Diamondback on my .17hmr this year and have been pleased with it so far. Nice and clear, tracks reliably. Either should do the trick however of the two I would mount the Bushnell, simply because of past experience, especially if it has the rainguard coating.

I do not like the vortex diamondback, eye relief is to short and glass isn't great, eye relief on the elite isn't much enter though, out of the two you have listed I would go with the bushnell.
I've got both, and for the price point I think they both are decent glass. Toss a coin. I would say that if it is your go to, primary hunting rifle, spend more and step up to a Zeiss Conquest, or Leupold VX3, even a Vortex Viper....something along those lines.
