Other than one $80 Bushnell Banner (good scope for the money) I've bought nothing but Leupolds over the past 30+ years. I like Leupolds and their service has been great the few times I've needed it. Still have five or six of their scopes.
Because of the favorable comments here re the FF2 and the favorable price $149.97 & free shipping I bought one a couple of weeks ago. Had it to the range twice.No problem understanding why it's so well liked. The only way I see where Leupold has it beat is the eyebox. The Burris doesn't give me as quick a target acquisition as the Leupold. For anything that requires me getting on target fast I'd still want a Leupold, once I got it sighted in. The FF2, IMO, has good clear glass and windage & elevation adjustments are right on, which saves a lot of time and ammo/money unlike some of the Leupolds I've bought in the past few years.

So far, so good with the ones I've bought too. Bushnell Trophy scopes have all been fine too, and at even lower prices. I like the Burris better though, but wish the E1 was available with a standard duplex.

Pappy348- Not sure if it is a current offering, but a Fullfield E1 3-9X40mm w/ a Plex Reticle sits in my safe, waiting for a rifle. The item # is 200321. I purchased it in April of 2019.

Fan of the Burris myself. I have one on a M&P 10, 308. Pretty impressed with it. And it’s hard to beat the eye box of a Leupold. It’s the reason they’re on all my hunting rifles.

have made a number of quick shots with FF2 s I've made plenty of quick shots on game, with the FFII 3-9x40, as well. If you have the scope positioned properly, there is absolutely no problem with the sight picture. Should be instant,as soon as you lay your head on the stock. If not, it's not the scopes fault..
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

Not listed on their website now, but the Fullfield IV 2.5-10x42 has it, whenever they show up. Don't need any scopes right now, have some homeless ones on the shelf. Those scopes are described as Airgun capable, btw, a good thing. I bought a E1 3-9 not long ago, and it was a 30mm, surprise surprise, also discontinued. They have some new stuff on the site, how much actually available, who knows.

Burris ER/eyebox is lacking, not as bright, but if you hunt by the seat of your pants or are a F&S subscriber, they are perfect.

I have one of those also, bought 2 or 3 years back. It came from Midsouth or Natchez I think as a special purchase, might have been for European market.

I'm curious as to how good the new Burris Fullfield IV 2.5-10x42 will be.
Maybe Doug from Cameraland and chime in and give us his opinion on these vs the Leupolds.

They also have a Signature HD rifle scope line coming out sometime too which interest me. Especially the 3-15x.
