The line that if Burris were junk they'd be out of business don't wash well either. Course they likely work the vast amounts of folks sitting on their ass in a box blind hunting 3 days a year. Just cuzz more folks voted for Obama than didn't don't make it a smart.


Of course a Scout scope is a compromise, what scope ISN'T a compromise? The original question asked the opinion of the Burris Scout scope. Not YOUR opinion of Scout scopes in general.

After my last post, it occurred to me that both mine and my fathers elk rifles ALL mount Burris scopes and over the last several years these rigs have been many, many miles in saddle scabbards and carried up and down the mountains of New Mexico and never once lost a zero. Oh wait...I sit on my ass in a box blind don't I..... But owing to your 43000+ posts, I'd have to say you spend most of YOUR time sitting on YOUR ass in front of a computer. sick
How many Burris scopes have you owned?

Yep it's about post count. But your pics prove that apparently retards can procreate, compelling at best. I've owned damn near every brand of scope at one point or another. I know I've run 5-6 Burris scopes. I don't need to keep eating [bleep] sandwiches to know they taste like [bleep]

You ever hunt day in and day out in rain/snow/wind/salt? Remember when I say rain I don't mean you wearing a yellow slicker in your favorite porn theater dropping another kid on the floor.


Actually, it is about post count. How on earth you find time to hunt when you make over 43,000 posts escapes me. You need a life. And as far as pro-creating, the young lady in the pictures is my step-daughter. What me having fathered children has to do with Scout scopes escapes me, but at any rate, rave on, you're making yourself look like a moron.
I don't know what your problem was with Burris scopes, but I can just about guarentee you that if there IS a problem other than the idiot behind the trigger, it was (is) somewhere in the rifle.
If you'll notice I live in NORTH TEXAS, and if you think about it, you know that I don't hunt in salt, I don't hunt in rain (we have sense enough to kill our game when it's not raining, and the game have sense enough to bed up when it is), I do hunt in wind (what the hell does that have to do with scopes?), and again, it doesn't snow much in North Texas, but I have had the occassion to hunt elk in NM and CO when it was snowing. Again, no problems with Burris scopes.
You're a big man sitting there for hours on end hammering away at a keyboard, aren't you?
