JB just read your article on the Burris FFII scopes in the RLN. I bought an E1 3-9 Plex several months ago then found out the "new" power ring was so large that medium DD rings were required to clear the bolt on my Rem 700. You seem to have some of both. Is the FFII enough smaller at the power ring to allow a lower mount? Do you see an improvement in the E1 over the older FFII in brightness, clarity or anything else? I'm seeing some good prices on the FFII with Ballistic Plex right now but want to buy the best model. Also, I'm not wild about the Ballistic Plex in the E1. Does not seem to go edge to edge. Any thoughts on that?

Thanks.
