*** Burris Scopes ***

Post by ShooterJohn »

:D

Looking for some input from Burris scope users. I know there are a few of you out there.
Some good reccomendations and experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone. :D

Have a great weekend.

I use several Burris scopes on my hunting handguns and several rifles. They are comparable to Leupold in glass quality, construction and lifetime warranty. Have not used one on a crossbow so far,

I never owned a Burris optic, but check with them about scopes being able to handle a crossbow's reverse recoil.

All Leupold scopes can handle reverse recoil.

i have a couple myself, one on a rifle and one on my 12 ga. slug gun, if it can handle the slug gun it will handle a crossbow; they also have one of the best warrantys in the buisness.
better an overkill than an underkill

Life time warranty with burris no matter when or where you get it, just as good or better than what's out there to date, you can,t go wrong.

I have two Burrks FF II , i think they are great scopes for the money, i find the glass clearer than the Bushnell 3200 and 4200, and better in low light situations. I cannot comment on the warranty because I have never used it.

Exactly the reason why I don't have Burris optics.

Leupold's quality, customer service and warranty is second to none.

I see that your not a big fan of Burris yooper man. There must be some scopes you feel are worthy of Leupolds status. What about any Nikon ? :D

Thanks ,

Its not about what I like, I just pick Leupold.

I don't own any Nikon's, but friends of mine seem too like them.

I urge you to look through a few different manufactures. I would say all are quite clear inside a fully lit retail store. The true test comes during the last few moments of legal shooting time. Here is were Leupold shines for me.

Exactly !!

And, unfortunately the retailers don't let you take the scopes out for a test drive :cry:
This is why we rely on a good group of foks on here with their valuable opinions. :D

I like your opinions. Very valuable. I would like to hear a Nikon useres opinion too.

Thanks again,
