Looks interesting. Burris never disappointed. Expect them to expand that line.

Here's the only info I found. Burris C4
The Chosin Few November to December 1950, Korea.
I'm not one of the Chosin Few but no more remarkable group of Americans ever existed.

WOW!!!!! finally a scope maker that is actually paying attention. did you also read where it said there is a windage reticle that ties into the turret?? now hopefully they didn't shoot themselvs in the foot by leaving off a zero stop setup.

Fullfields always had pretty nice tracking. Kinda wondering if this isn just a slightly upgraded Ffii with replaceable turrets.

Still, $400 (at Cabelas) for the 4.5-14 isn't too bad.

Sounds like a great deal. Turrets and windage reference on the reticle. I may have to give the 3-9 a try. Would love to see them put the same features on a fixed 6x...

It looks like a Burris FFII E1 with a slight mod to the turret, not that is a bad thing.
My guess is we will hear a little more, maybe a release timed with SHOT.
Burris doesn't do MAP pricing so it will be interesting to see what they run for from the lower cost dealers or ebay.

Yep, looks like the e1 with ballistic plex reticle, custom elevation turret and adjustable objective (4.5-14 model). Wonder why no side focus???? Looks like a good deal on a great scope..The burris FFII's have always been good to me, this one should be an excellent scope for the money as well...
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 wonder if they made the E1 reticle go all the way to the edge? If in fact it's the E1 reticle of course. Kind of helps to have those bars in low light.

Having second thoughts after looking at the E1 reticle. Was hoping for a more conventional reticle that had windage reference on the horizontal wire.
I would, however, think the glass would be very acceptable, based on the MTAC I just mounted on my AR.
