Burris Scopes?

Quote:
When the PosiLock is off are you still able to shoot? Like say your scope has turrets. Will it effect the scope to not have it locked?



No, you can shoot it without locking it. The design of the posi was to give the reticle tube 3 points of solid contact. It locks everything in tight, just be sure to shoot it after locking to make sure POI hasnt changed. I have several burris scopes, only had to send one back, and they fixed the problem and sent it right back in a timely fashion.
 
I guess I'm the only one who will rain on Burris. I don't like them...I have a FFII 3-9x40 and a Compact in 3-9. The FFII wouldn't hold zero and cost me time and money trying to track it down. As for the Compact, it does not have edge-to-edge clarity and looks as though I'm looking through fish-eye lens when looking through the scope.

I will say though that I was pretty impressed with Burris' customer service. I sent the FFII back to be fixed and they had it back to me within 1 week...It was fixed as well. For the money, I think there are better optics out there. I'm more of a Nikon (and Leupold) fan. However, I think Leupold is pricing themselves too high these days. Look at all the scopes before settling. There are some fine scopes out there and Burris can be beat in price/quality in my opinion.

I had this problem with 2 older model 4-12X Minis (now the Compact series). Had 2 send both back twice before it was fixed. But it is now, and i have the BP reticle and elevation turrets on each, and i think they're the best overall optic for the walking coyote hunter, that may encounter some shots @ long-range.
 
I have a flock of the old Burris signature scopes, they are tough as hell, and that is an understatement. I love the 3-12 on calling rifles.

In all honesty, to my eyes, I don't think that the clarity is equal to the Leupold VariX-III, but then again, you get a die hard dependable scope.

The target knobs on the 6-24's and the 8-32's that I have repeat 100% of the time. ON a dog town, I am screwing on the knobs from the time I start, to the time I leave and have been using them for years in this mannor.

Make no mistake about it, the Leupold Mark 4 scope have some great optics, and Leupold has UNREAL customer service.

I have never had to return a Burris scope to the factory.

While you are looking at scopes, you really should consider the Bushnell 4200 line of scopes...their optics are better than Burris in my opinion, but the scope body is not as durable as the Burris, but then again, neither is the Leupold...pick your vices. Bushnell 4200's are MUCH better optics compared to the 3200 line of optics.

Good luck on your new purchase!
 
I have 2 fulfeild II, 3x9 and 4.5x14. Good for the money, but just that, good for that price range. The one thing that I don't like about the fulfeild II is that the entire eyepeice turns to change the magnification.
 
to my eyes,..they beat the vari-x III and I have been replacing my leupys with Burris Signatures. I'll be getting another one soon for a rifle I have being built.
