As an F-Class shooter myself, I highly recommend this scope. The dot center makes shots a breeze, and the 1 MOA box covers the 10 ring perfectly at the mid-range 600-yard distance. With this scope, I have consistently maintained High Master scores. Surprisingly, I even prefer this scope to my Night Force 12x40x56 Bench-Rest model, which cost $1000 more. The Burris scope is unquestionably high-quality, and the lifetime warranty is a significant selling point. However, I'm not sure why Burris stopped making this model with the Dot reticle, as the new model is far too busy for F-Class. If you liked the Vortex Golden Eagle with their Dot reticle, then you will love the Burris F-Class model.

I wanted to try out this Burris scope alongside my existing Nightforce and Leupold scopes to see how it compared. Overall, Nightforce wins in terms of clarity and sharpness of the image. However, the Burris scope is still excellent, although slightly less sharp at higher magnification. The scope tracks very well, and the turrets are easy to read and highly repeatable. The zero-stop feature is also a great addition. However, the instructions for setting the zero stop could be more precise for those unfamiliar with the process. All things considered, this scope is a nice addition to my collection.

Honestly, I was skeptical when I bought this scope, but I was pleasantly surprised upon receiving it and looking through it. The image is clear and sharp, with a high-contrast reticle and no distortions. The zero-stop adjustment is straightforward, and the surface finish is top-notch. The turrets' clicks are precise enough, and I've used it without any issues from 100 yards to 900 yards so far.

I purchased this scope based on the recommendation of a fellow shooter, and I'm very pleased that I did. The optics are on par with or even better than my Vortex GE or Sightron III when shooting long range F-Class. The scope is high-quality in every aspect and ideal for long-range shooting. It tracks both elevation and windage with incredible precision. I can't wait to push the limits and test it out at 1,000 yards with my 6 Dasher this year.

Please note that this scope is not suitable for anything other than a bench rifle with long-range aspirations. That said, I own three of these scopes mounted on different precision rifles, including a 6mm Creedmoor, 6.5 Creedmoor, and a .338 Lapua. The optics are exceptionally clear throughout the zoom range, and the F-class reticle is great for ranging distances. The double crosshair with a 20 MOA difference allows for shooting multiple distance targets without the need to constantly dial them up. The clicks are positive, and the zero stop works as intended. My only complaint about this scope is that the illumination feature is lacking. Unlike the SCR reticle, which lights up a good portion of the reticle, this scope has red lights spaced out at 5 MOA intervals. It's very difficult to see them unless you're fully zoomed in and in near-pitch-black conditions. However, the quality of optics and the 34mm tube are so effective at gathering light that I haven't found the need for an illuminated reticle for my shooting needs.

I have this scope mounted on my DPMS-style AR10 chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, and I'm very satisfied with it. The optics are crystal clear, and the scope is straightforward to zero in. The 20 MOA drop built into the reticle is a fantastic feature. The scope comes with a sunshade, and the tracking is precise. Overall, I am pleased with this scope and recommend it to others. The Burris lifetime warranty is another significant benefit. To mount the scope on my rifle, I used the 34mm Burris BEPR mount, which holds zero perfectly.

Although I have only used this optic a few times, I can confidently say that I love it! I've mounted it on my Ruger Precision Rifle (.308 win) and it has performed great so far. The glass is clear, the turrets have crisp clicks, and the movements are smooth. The red dots are particularly useful when aiming at darker objects, as the owner's manual clearly states. I was pleased to see that the optic came with a good sun shade and glass covers, making it a great value for the price. I haven't used this optic for long-distance shooting yet, but I did use it to spot for some friends and could see clearly out to 1000 yards. I am very happy with this optic and also recommend the Burris AR-P.E.P.R. Mount, which I used to mount mine. Overall, this optic offers many of the same features as higher-priced optics at a more affordable price point.

I am thoroughly impressed with this scope for long-range target and bench shooting. The reticle is incredibly sharp, the knobs are easy to adjust, and miraging is minimal even when the gun gets warm. It enables you to place shots accurately on the target at great distances. For target shooters firing at ranges longer than 200 yards, this scope is an excellent choice. I've achieved accurate shots at 500 yards within a 1-2 MOA level of accuracy with a 6.5 Creedmore rifle using precision ammunition, making it perfect for benchrest shooters. However, I wouldn't recommend it for a field rifle due to its size and added weight. That said, with Burris' no-haggle warranty, you could take it out in the field and not worry about damaging it since they will replace it no questions asked. I typically use Nikon riflescopes for my rifles, but none of the scopes in their lineup could match this one. I am happy that I gave a Burris product a try and plan to purchase additional Burris products in the future. Overall, I highly recommend this scope to those who are serious about shooting, especially at longer-range targets.

This scope worked perfectly straight out of the box! I mounted it on my TAC-21 Remington 700 5R/.308 tactical rifle and it performed flawlessly. It's worth noting that this scope has a 34mm tube, so be mindful of the built-in angle of your rifle platform and mount. I initially tried a Burris mount with an extra 20 MOA of angle, but it limited me to a minimum zero distance of 275 yards. I had to switch to a standard mount, which, combined with my TAC-21's built-in 20 MOA mount, provided a perfect zero and adequate adjustment range for closer shots. The glass on this scope is crystal clear, comparable to other high-end scopes from Leupold, Vortex, and Sig at maximum magnification. The larger diameter and robust body/tube give it a very high-quality look and feel, with precise and tactile knobs. The 50mm lens does an excellent job at pulling in light, and the 34mm tube ensures minimal reduction in transmission to the retina, resulting in bright images. I had no trouble zeroing the scope at the range and performed a Box pattern test at 200 yards, which resulted in a near-perfect box pattern with every adjustment on spec. Subsequent shots showed a perfect return to zero. Overall, I have no regrets purchasing this scope and wish I had done it sooner. It's an excellent match for my rifle's capabilities for mid to long-range shooting (1000-1200 yds). The unconditional warranty makes it an even more attractive option for any shooter.

The optics on this scope are great for plinking out to about 200 yards and I find it particularly convenient for .22 plinking since I don't have to juggle a spotter scope. However, it's important to use a light-colored target, as the rectangle can disappear or lose definition when aiming at black or dark targets. Under average shooting conditions, I haven't noticed much of a difference using the scope's electronics compared to not using them. The electronics are geared towards low light conditions, but the rectangle issue persists. I wouldn't recommend using this scope for tactical purposes or for hunting larger game like hogs or bears.
