Thread: New scope advice

i have at the moment 11 burris scopes in my care . i love the e1 , have several of them in 3-9 and 4.5-14 and 6.5-20 .have also ff2 in 3-9 and 4.5-14 .and a new ff4 4-16. my fav is the e1 in 4.5-14 . lovely fine reticle ( if you like fine rets). have 1 on my 223 that regularly shoots rabbits at 300mtrs using the bdc,and another on my 17hmr that takes the bunnys out to 150mtrs plus . ff2 has a thicker reticle if that suits your eyes. my son cant use the e1 but loves the ff2 as he wears glasses and struggles with the fine e1 ret. not a fan of the ff4 which are now made in china. the one i have is a 4-16x50 with illuminated ret. has a longer eye relief than the others which i dont like. and is physically a bit bigger. i have had 1 issue with one scope about 8 yrs ago . burris have the best warrantee imo hands down . they say " doesnt matter where you bought it from,or whats wrong ( as long as its not intentinal damage) get it to us and we will sort ". worked for me .had one that i bought second hand from the yellow site that i could not get it to zero. sent it to them with a bit of a spiel then in about 3 weeks had a brand new arrive at no charge to me . i am not one eyed as i have had leupolds,redfields bushnells and zeiss scopes in the past . still have 3 zeisses as they are lovely scopes as well. my 2 cents worth go for it def ff2 or e1 over ff4 cheers sig
