If it's made in the Philippines, I know it's a very good scope. If it's one of the new Chinese ones, I'd pass.

I have three in just about perfect shape I will list soon. Philippine made, that is.

The reticle does not subtend to the edge of the glass. The tree with dots sucks when shooting paper. When I had one, I thought the dots were bullet holes in the paper. It just sucks. One of Burris's worst ideas. I generally really like Burris rifle scopes, but the E1 sucks..

The longer range MOA reticle is quite nice and I’ve been extremely impressed with the two I have. The E1 reticle sucks.

Scopes okay, reticle sucks. Would prefer the ballistic plex for holdovers, and a plain duplex in general. That ship has sailed, so if I buy any more, they’ll probably be FF IIs, though I like the idea of dual bias springs.

I paid $190 for mine from Doug IIRC.

Don't feel bad, even in competition I see guys not hitting the center of the target. If you were using a good tracking scope, you might have shot better.

The expert speaks, too funny. I've actually tested the scope in question on an extremely accurate rifle and it did fine.

I have one on my Rem 700 cdl in 280 caliber. The E1 reticle works great for me with 140 nosler b-tips out to 500 yards. Im pretty happy with mine

Huh?

If you mean they outsourced to China, not so.

They took all their machinery to the Philippines and sent their top staff to train the machinists to build scopes on Burris machinery. Reports are QC has matched the made in USA scopes.

Hatari, the new FF IV's and Signatures are made in China, or so Doug has reported.
