I know all the "cool kids" here will look down on this scope as too pedestrian for their needs, but I just ordered my second one of these and I may buy a third just to keep in reserve.
Over the years, I've found few scopes under $300 that can reliably perform as well as these Burris Fullfied II's. I guess there's a reason that Burris has been producing this model for decades now. I've never had one lose zero. They are rather light compared to other scopes in their class. The ballistic reticle is very practical (works out well with nearly every hunting load I have). The image quality is very good. These are just durable every day, every man scopes that get the job done.
The best 400 yard group I've ever shot in my life (target is still hanging on my garage wall) was shot with my Tikka 7mm-08 topped with a Burris Fullfied II. I held dead on with the 2nd mark and put three rounds into 1.75" at 400 yards, off my pack at a public range in Colorado. As long as that scope was on my Tikka, I never had to adjust zero once. And I drug that thing all over the mountains for years.
These days, with the price of even the basic Leupolds going over $300, you can get two of these Burris scopes for one "Freedom" series Leupold that isn't any better.
Anyway, I just thought I'd mention this to anyone who is looking for a good, basic scope. It won't be long before we all look back and say "were those really on sale for just $144 each? I should have bought five of them!" Trust me. It's going to happen.
