Burris Fullfield E1 6.5-20X50 MV

[South Paw Shooter]

They claim that it is calibrated for 22-250 if I am reading it correctly. Has anyone tried one yet or know more about these scope's. Thinking of trying one on my 22-250 AR15

I was in the market for a longer range, varmint-type scope for my .204 prairie dog rifle this past spring. Another member of the forum here, Big Red Fox, tipped me on that Burris E1 scope. He was using it on a .223 AR and it worked fine. So I decided to give it a try on my .204. What you do is, you send Burris all the info about the rifle/caliber your're shooting--bullet weight, BC, muzzle velocity, zeroing distance, sight height, etc. and they put it into their ballistics calculator. Then they'll send you the printout which tells you what distance each of the "hash" marks corresponds to.

Anyway, the scope works great for me, I especially like the windage indicators/marks in the etched, "Christmas tree" reticle. It's very clear, and optically excellent, especially for the price. I liked it so much that a couple weeks ago I bought another one, this one to go on my 6BR rifle. I'll shoot it tomorrow for the first time.

If you decide to get one of these, PM me and I'll give you info on where I purchased mine recently, at a great price.

I didn't know Burris would do that... that's Great to know.

Didn't think you could get an AR 15 in 22/250. Is it an AR 10? Not trying to hijack your thread, sorry!

I bought one this week and have yet to sight it in. I'm pretty excited about it. On the website, it says that the reticle allows you to mill out distances and then directs you to a .pdf of the owners manual. The owners manual just gives some info on the different hash lines for different distances but nothing about calculating distances. I'm pretty new to the game and have never used a mil-dot or any other scope to calculate distance so the answer could be staring me in the face.

Does anyone know anything about how to use the E1 MV reticle to calculate distance?

Thanks for any help you guys may be able to provide.

The MV reticle at 20X magnification is marked in 1 mrad increments along the left, right and top of the crosshair. See this link for details:

This is similar to a mildot reticle. Google mildot to find a ton of info on milling targets to determine range. This link is a good starting point (use the Crosshair method):

Burris should have their own web based calculator so people can go online and build their own drop charts off any scope and reticle they offer. They've been behind on this stuff for a long time.

If you have a smart phone there's an app called iStrelok that has that reticle in it. You can build your own chart off it.

Awesome! Thanks a lot guys! Exactly what I was looking for!

I emailed Burris' customer service department. They were great to deal with. They emailed me a picture of the reticle with the correct subtensions and bullet drop values. Apparently they're going to revamp the whole website in 2014.
I would add the picture but don't know how to upload the photos. If anyone needs it feel free to email me tomnydahl@gmail.com
