I have two Burris handgun scopes that are having similar problems. One is on a TC Encore barrel in 375 H&H and after about 10 rounds has a large black mass in the center of the
sight picture. The other is on a SuperRed Hawk in 454
and has black cracks throughout the sight picture.

It seems as if the coating has let go, but maybe you all
have a better idea.

I otherwise really like these scopes brightness and field of
view. I'm not very impressed with Burris' ability to stand
up to punishment.

After these problems I'm putting my reliable Leupolds on.
