Burris FFII 3-9x40...I thought I'd try to locate one of these to try. Never owned a Burris before. You guys seem to recommend staying with the ones made in the Philippines. Are they marked with "Made in the Philippines" or does the serial number indicate where it was made?
Thanks guys...

When new there's a little sticker on the bottom of the turret housing showing Made in Philippines. Before that they were Made in USA. Now they're discontinued so those are the only two options.

Nothing wrong with the American made ones, as well. Those are usually marked, "Made in the USA" around the circumference of the ocular. Although, they are a little harder to find than the Philippine ones and more expensive, when you do find one.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I have one that is like new. I mounted it on my backup rifle and zeroed it. It has some nearly invisible ring marks and otherwise perfect. I would take 95.00 shipped. It has a ballistic plex reticle. (matte)

I generally don't put anyone on ignore, unless I see they are a scammer in the classifieds section. Too bad on both parties. The scope was offered to the OP, not a free for all to anyone.

The OP had a bit over 24 hrs. to answer me here or in PMs. I agree he should have been given first crack and was. It was offered at a decent price and accepted by the buyer in a "Fair" amount of time by both parties. Now....if anyone wishes to put me on ignore, have at it. BTW my Ex hasn't spoken to me in 35 yrs. so you can join her in delivering your new found peace and quiet.

Hang on guys. Let's not get twisted all out of shape over a rifle scope. I sent the seller a pm, here is the text:
"If the OP does not want your Burris 3-9, I'll take it.
PM me with payment details and address.
thanks,
Clifford"
I didn't get it but I'm not going to waste time and energy on getting upset about it. There are always other deals coming down the road, just like this one did. Let's make sure we put a little more effort into being civil and less into being ugly toward one another.

Anyone who’s putting you on ignore is doing you a favor by staying out of your life.

IMO, there's an assload of FFII fakes/replica/bullchit on Ebay...
