New Burris Fullfield 2-8x35 on Tikka T3x

[dan25]

I am looking for a small compact scope for my Tikka T3x and have been eyeing up the new Burris 2-8X35. Has anyone mounted one on a Tikka T3x? Not sure if there will be adequate eye relief with how short the scope tube is. Pictures or opinions appreciated. Really wanting a lower power with holdover reticle or dial scope. Thanks

I have the 2-8x35 on my t3x 223. No issues mounting or with eye relief

Any chance you could measure the tube length?

4.6” roughly

Excellent info. What height rings are those? How do you like the scope for clarity and function of the rear power ring? My old Burris was hard to turn in the cold. Is the height of the scope comfortable without a riser? Thanks for that picture!

 

[ACHILLES]

Pretty sure those are vortex pro lows. The rear power ring tension feels ideal to me. Not to stiff or loose. Clairity seems good to me especially for a $180 scope. The illumination did not work from the get go but whatever it’s a cheap scope that I zero and use the recticle for hold overs. I have not abused it by any means but it stays zeroed riding around in the front seat of the truck.

@ACHILLES

Is it china or Philippines? Thanks.

 

[ACHILLES]

I’m not sure I can’t see anything on the scope that says where it’s made, but it could just be covered. Although google ai stated they’re made in the Phillipines then sent to Colorado for inspection.

I have a few of these scopes on cva scouts. They seem like an excellent option for the money. They've been reliable so far and don't get treated well. I especially like the e3 reticle.

Interesting - I am looking for an affordable scope in that magnification range - what is the real weight?

 

[ACHILLES]

When I weighed mine it was very close to the advertised weight. I don’t remember exactly, but I want to say it was within a half oz on my kitchen scale.

I have one on a Scout too and love the reticle. Makes a great package for about $600.

Well closer to $1000 up here in canada but yes they do go together well.

Oh, sorry. Rifle is $400 (stainless) and scope under $200 here.

I had my barrel cut to just over 16 inches. It almost looks comically short w/o the can. Makes for a very compact rifle in tight spaces, only wish they weren't so heavy.

350 Legend.

 

[bigunit]

I have one of those as well. Also a 6.5 cm and a 45-70 converted to a smokeless ml. 9mm in the 350Legend is a ton of fun.
