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

[Aleebee156]

Did you ask if they would all be FFP? I'm pretty sure the whole veracity always has been.

It's crazy how bad these companies are at giving their customers information about the products.

It is indeed crazy. There are all kinds of errors on their webpage for the new Veracity 2.5-12, eye relief data on the webpage being another. I believe accurate information can be had by downloading their pdf user manual. Frustrating.

I like how some brands list specs in metric measurements for some items and in imperial measurements for others.

I would list them in both types of measurements. Mixed is lunacy.

Has anyone gotten any hands on experience with these yet?

I have had mine about a year.

Good:
1) Glass clarity is good for the price point
2) Seem to be built well. I have not drop tested it. It has held zero,
3) The dial system is accurate
4) I hunted with it in dense forest. At lower magnification, it worked perfect. I think it would do well on an open country hunt.

Bad:
1) I am not really a fan of illuminated Reticles because of batteries.
2) On a range trip, the battery died leaving me without the use of the electronic system. The reticle was still usable without the illumination.
3) But - My issue with batteries is not limited to this scope.

How often and for how long do you use the illumination? I'm wondering if this model has a battery longevity issue or it was used frequently for long periods. I have/had illumination on several optics and never changed batteries, lasting years only using them the last few minutes at dusk when needed hunting on my wooded property.

I think I am either leaving it on after I shoot (forgetfulness) to inadvertently turning it on while I put it awayay (carelessness).

Although I suspect it is my fault, I am going to pull the scope soon and have them look at it.

It would be interesting on the outcome if you have Burris take a look at it.

There doesn't seem to be much out there on this new generation of Veracity's. What I have found has been pretty solid. For example, the previous generation had, what I was told, a single spring on the dialing turrets, and this one has double springs; and why your experience is that it holds zero and dials accurately. So. thanks for your pro and cons review, it's helpful.

Burris made the posi-lock system for years. I never tried one. I guess it might be difficult with a dialing turret, but the idea, and the fact that they were doing it decades ago, is intriguing to me. Did they know conventional turrets couldn't hold zero?
