Thread: Burris scopes any good?

People say the more you spend the better the scope, but I struggle to believe that a 2k scope is twice as good as a 1k scope.

I have a Burris 3-9 FF2 on a .223 in weaver saddle rings. It is the rifle I use for bashing around in thick scrub where I don’t want to be precious about the rifle or the scope. It has had some serious knocks including;

1/ Slid down a papa bank with scope slowing decent by catching on lumps while rifle was strapped to my back.
2/ Fell off a boulder and landed in water with rifle going under and scope landing on rocks.
3/ Slipped over on rocks and landed body weight on top of scope.

Every time I have checked zero after these it has always been on point.

I think of it like a Toyota Corolla. It isn’t fancy or super lightweight or compact, but it works fine and is very reliable. Maybe I just happened to get a good one or maybe they are all like this. But for what I paid, I can’t fault it.
