Burris Veracity Gen II 2.5-12.... Thoughts?

The reticle is definitely interesting. Not sure of the reason for the vertical line. The weight is 25 ounces. The price tag is definitely more affordable than the NF line. Thoughts?

I like it a lot. Burris's better scope lines tend to get good reviews from people who actually hunt with them but I don't think they've fared well in drop tests.

I still like them and kinda want one now. I wish that reticle was available in the 3-15x but yeah, I'm interested here, if the actual street price gets right. Meaning, what the Gen1 has been going for lately.

It's a rear/second focal plane scope so I think they kinda missed going sfp. Looks to be a great option if they made it ffp. Be curious how it fares in the drop test.

I’ve had a Veracity on a 6mm ARC for 2 years. It’s been a good scope. Get’s little to moderate use as a set and forget scope. Not babied, but not dropped.

Also have a Fullfield on a Ruger American Ranch 5.56 for 4 years that gets abused by my grandkids/son. Not dropped I know of, but rides around in a vehicle/utv a bunch and used for a thousand ish rounds minimum a year. Tossed in/on the back seat, gun carrier and tailgate. Targets, deer, elk and prairie dogs to date. Set and forget use and so far has not needed to be reset.

I think they are solid set and forget scopes but doubt they are up to to Nightforce ruggedness, but I don’t know for sure. I’d have no issue using one hunting and we have and do, but if I was after mature horns or shooting very far, I’d pick a different scope. So far the Burris scopes have killed well for the grands on small bucks and cows to 150 ish yards. That’s probably where they will remain. Really no different than my set and forget Leupolds, and I mentally place them in that use class.
