These are for sure interesting. If they are as good as they’re saying then we might have the <$300 king set and forget

I talked to BURRIS cs via phone and the guy on the other end honestly seemed happy to talk to me about the product. He stated the new Burris Fullfield was manufactured in the Philippines in the same factory as the Fullfield 1 & 2 models. He also stated that when Burris moved manufacturing to the Philippines they moved all the equipment from the states to there and trained every new employee on the equipment. He said qc is the same or better than it was before. He also stated the materials is superior to the fullfield 1 and 2. He also took a little jab at companies like vortex who purchase scopes from OEM over seas, but stated Burris owned the factory in the Philippines. I’ll give em a shot.I would guess they will be very solid scopes for what they are. I have 5 or 6 Burris scopes on rifles in my safe, I think it’s three Fullfields and 3 Signature. They have all been great as set it and forget it scopes. Easily my most favorite brand of reliable, non-dialing scopes. Great glass, rugged, non illuminated. I doubt at that price point any of them will be great dialers. They will be SPF and solid, but those short tube lengths will make mounting tough and if I wanted a SFP dialer, I’d grab a Trijicon Credo.
Yes, Burris does all of it's own manufacturing. That's always been a selling point for me as well. That 2-8 looks like a great option for an AR and the 2.5-10 or 3-12 should be a good all rounder.I talked to BURRIS cs via phone and the guy on the other end honestly seemed happy to talk to me about the product.

Think he said 2006.It was at least that long ago, maybe even longer.
Yeah, he stated the Fullfield IV wasn’t as reliable and didn’t sell as well as the 1 & 2 and that had a lot to do with Chinese manufacturing. He said if another scope company like vortex was selling this scope, it would cost double. The scope was completely designed in the USA and they do their own manufacturing. Having their own factory, paid workers, and materials allows them to keep the price lower than competitors.I have had some Philippine made FF II scopes that have been excellent. I do have a couple of Chinese made Burris scopes I'll be moving out in favor of this new version. Not sure I trust them and sounds like Burris doesn't either if they just revamped the line a few years ago.
An illuminated 2.5-10x42 or 2-8x35 on my 35 Whelen would be awesome. Maybe I'll get one of each.
Same! That checks every box I want besides FFP, but I’ll probably get one anyway.If the 3-12x42 with the wind reticle was available in FFP and tracked reliably, I'd be in for like 10.
Looks nice. How much space do you have for the rings?Well, they were in stock on midway this week so I bought a 2-10x42 non illuminated. I just slapped it on all willy nilly to get a feel for it. Made in the Philippines. The clicks are crispy and audible. The weight was dead on with the specs according to my kitchen scale. The short tube will definitely be an issue in some mounting applications. Even with a one piece rail, getting it back far enough the bell is almost into the rail. Hoping to get it to the range in the next week or 2. I hope it dials well, but I bought it for a set and forget. View attachment 853451
Thank you.1.4" up front. 1.95 in the rear.
Is your “Glass is real bad” comment a typo?My 3-12 showed up today.
Like @FlyingRhino said, the clicks feel fantastic. I had no issue mounting with two piece leupolds on my Kimber. Looking at his picture though, I think the 3-12 tube might be a bit longer.
No parallex adjustment, which was reported differently ahead of time depending on where I looked.
Glass is real bad. Eye relief is decent. I'm having a hard time getting it to focus.
It doesnt have a floating crosshair like my other E3s, which kind of sucks.
Build quality feels pretty dang good overall. If they hold zero they should be a good scope.
Is your “Glass is real bad” comment a typo?
Lol thanks. You mentioned if they hold zero they should be a good scope, so based on that comment I thought maybe the comment about the glass was a typo.No. It's the opposite of good.
