You can find the Burris fullfield E1’s for under $200, and in my opinion, that’s an absolute steal. That’s a lot of good scope for under $200. Great glass, great quality set it and forget it scope. E1 reticle is small and only complaints i hear about it. I actually like the compact reticle, and have zero issues with it. I have two E1 scope. The 4.5-14x42 on an 06’ and a 3-9x40 on a .243
I’m a budget minded guy, i don’t turn dials or shoot long distances. I’m always hunting my best bang for the buck deal. I was in Montana this year on a mule deer hunt and sitting on a ridge watching some mule deer on a private field 2 miles away according to on x. I couldn’t differentiate the sex of the deer obviously, but i could see enough detail in the Burris 4.5-14x to know they were mule deer.
