Heavy Barrel I have seven Burris FF2 's 2 3-9x40 1 3-9x50 and 4 4.5-14x42 and none of them show any distortion on the viewing edge maybe You need to send it back.

As as the Leupold Freedom scopes are concerned, I have not heard of any of them available with an illuminated dot reticle. RJ

That is true about the illuminated dot, I guess I didn't read post well enough.
I may need to send scope back, but I have read that others are seeing the distortion so I just assumed it was the nature of the scope?

Will add that if it was not for the distortion around edges at 6X and above, I would absolutely love the scope!

I have had a number of Burris scopes and still do, and also have never noticed distortion at the edges..but then again Im not looking to shoot stuff at the edges...

The distortion is bad at 6X and gets worse as you turn up the power. Narrower clear spot in center. I have a couple scopes I took off package guns from Walmart that doesn't have distortion. I don't shoot stuff at the edge either but for the 160.00 I gave for Burris I figured the glass would be at least as clear as a 20 dollar Walmart package gun scope! I think since season is over I will just send it back and see if they can fix it. Like I said before, if it were not for the distortion I would really like the scope. Not trying to put Burris down. I have owned several of their scopes over the years and have been satisfied with them all except for this one, maybe I just got a bad one that slipped by QC?

Have bought a couple but just can't warm up to them. Short tube and even shorter eye relief

I might have to try one of these. My vortex cross fire vbrite scope lights the whole tube in dark conditions. Thanks for the info in this thread.
