Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Burris FF IV - anyone using on rimfire?

Curious if parallax is a big issue for hunting distances.

Skip the made in China FF4 and go with the AO Droptine. I have 2 on rimfires and they are great. The AO only adjusts down to 50, but the amount of Parallax error between 0-50 is negligible for hunting situations.

There's many other Burris rifle scopes that would work fantastic on the OP's rifle, without choosing one made in China. Another great option is a Weaver cv or V16 4-16X42. The parallax adjusts down to 30 feet and tracking is spot on. Great glass and scope for the money. Was comparing one to a better Burris than the OP is asking about the other day and the Weaver was actually the one I preferred by a small margin.

Paul I assumed the FF was mfg in the Philippines. Thanks for feedback.

BSA those Weavers seem to be fairly popular. It seemed perhaps they were made in Japan like the newer K-4 and 6x ?

Thanks guys.

Yep, they were made in Japan. I was researching them the other day and some sources say they were made by LOW. Those guys have a very good reputation for putting out good glass.

Indeed, I believe LOW mfg the Elite for Bushnell/B&L. Thanks.

Nice rifles, what is on the right?

Ah thanks. The one on the right is a new rifle I just bought. A stainless receiver 10/22 clone with At One competition thumbhole stock. That is the one wearing the Weaver CV/V 16 4-16X42. To show you how well it tracks:


One scope adjustment and left it there^^^




Testing 3 different ammos, and they all shoot into roughly the same spot. Previously I had that scope on my 17HMR:

That rifle and scope combo is a tack drivig sob as well. The guys over on rimfire central seem to like that classic V series scope on their rimfires.

Wow that rifle shoots! What range? Good stuff folks. Thanks!

Typical 50 yards, since my clubs rimfire matches are all held at that distance. There was an older Weaver classic V16, like the one I use, on ebay the other day. It sold for a measly $167.00. Someone got a great deal on that one. Back in the day, they retailed for $548.45 MSRP.. Midway had them for around $350, a while back, when they were being discontinued.

This guy wrote a nice article on that Weaver v16 scope:

Now, I don't buy chinese Burris scopes, but I like Burris scopes. If you are truly interested in the FFIV, check this video out. He really slaps this "biotch" around.


I busted up when he called it a "sexy bi tch"...

Actually, no Burris scopes are made in China.

In the Q&A section of the Burris website Burris states that the Fullfield IV is made in China.
