Why Did You Sell Your Burris Veracity PH FFP?

[General RE LEE]

This has been a very interesting and informative thread. I have the exact same questions as @JDZ
I too am curious about any real disadvantages to this scope. It seems that there are good, analog solutions to electronic failure in the field (MOA reticle, turret graduations). I’d sure like to hear from anyone whose personal experience disagrees.


I think that the quantity of these ads for a recently released product is the reason for the question. It definitely raised my eyebrows… but my guess is that folks (understandably) didn’t like dealing with the interface or experienced the rapid battery drain issues. It also appears that many were the first gen version.
Might just have to pull the trigger and find out for myself
Gunmag warehouse has the 3-15 on sale for $800… waiting for the 4-20 to come back in stock to see pricing

I will say this scope is not for everyone. In order to get the most out of the scope, one will need to either have a chronograph or a place to shoot long range to verify drops. Also, it requires accurate information regarding density altitude and bore to scope height.

Folks that are proficient using ballistic calculator apps and have a place to shoot long range will do well with the scope. Folks that are simply uploading the velocity printed on the box of factory ammo and hoping they are going to be on at 400 yards are going to be disappointed.

I shoot it all the time with it powered off. It dials just like any other scope. You’ll just need to have a DOPE chart.

I should do the same. Both are on my rifles that are grab and go guns. My long range are all charted. Off topic but I prefer the eliminators if I’m going to have an electronic scope. The PH’s are good scopes but they solve a problem that’s pretty easily remedied by a dope chart or scope stickers. Nonetheless I still am a huge fan of Burris and run mostly everything with their line of scopes

I may do an Eliminator in future. I like the Veracity eliminating the need to reference a chart in a heated, adrenaline fueled moment. It’s nice to range and then get on the scope.
