The E1 scope I had on 270 Win functioned perfectly. I never warmed to the reticul so I replaced it with Sightron BigSky.

I didn't specify the model, so that's probably right.
"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown

Update: here's the exact quote I received back from Burris. Evidently I did specify the model:
"Yes, we will also be able to install the reticle on the Fullfield E1."
Plex for (at the time) $60. Might be worth asking about current costs and availability.

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

Just got off the phone with Burris. They will do reticle changes for $60 for a duplex or ballistic plex
Etched reticles are $160.

But...after mounting its growing on me. I’m used to reticles that extend all the way. Hopefully I’ll make the range tomorrow and be able to report back.

I have the E1 in 3-9x40 on a Savage Lightweight Hunter in .308. Makes a great lightweight rig for elk hunting in the mountains. I think the reticle might be an acquired taste, I like it a lot after being so-so when I first got it. Loaned that rig to my nephew this past weekend for deer season opener in Missouri; he's "between rifles" and needed something. I thought he might balk at that reticle, being used to crosshairs extending all the way out. But he bagged an 8-point buck opening morning and a coyote later in the day and said he loved the reticle and the open space in the scope view.

I have a 4x14 E1 on a 280 remington. With a 140 accu bond this ballistic plex is minute of deer out to 500 yards. Really happy with mine
