Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Burris FF 2 Plex vs Leupold VX-1 LR Duplex

This is an easy one. Why make it difficult?

Op has a Tikka 7mm-08. Here's a Tikka 7mm-08 with a Burris FFII 3-9x40 with ballistic plex reticle:


Now to show the virtues and beauty of the ballistic plex reticle. Ammo was handloaded 150gr Nosler partitions, so nothing with a super high bc. Just a proven hunting bullet:

100 yards zeroed:


200 yards to verify second hash mark down:


And 400 yards, 4th hash mark down. Shooting in the wind. Poor wind correction on my part. Figured the 150gr partition would require more of a wind hold:


And yes, the rifle gets hunted. For those that don't know me. I do more than just punch paper with my rifles. Here's the rifle in the woods before I switched the stock:


Many reasons to go this route on a good hunting rifle, like the OP's:

1. Simplicity
2. Ruggedness
3. 13 OZ's
4. Good glass
5. Classic look
6. Not bulky
7. Top notch reticle (ballistic plex).

Again, a simple test to go out and set targets at 100, 200, 300, and 400 yards. See if you can place your bullets where you want them with your Leupold duplex reticle scope. How consistent is it?? "One shot, one kill is what I strive for". YMMV on that though.
