I had the same problem with my scope as far as the windage and elevation knobs not tracking the whole spectrum. The CS guy on the phone said my scope wasn't centered and mounted properly. But I centered everything and did the laser bore sight and you could see the crosshair travel to the laser and then stop while you still crank the knob. It only traveled about half the spectrum.
I ended up sending it back for repair. Two weeks later they send it back with a PO saying "no work done". Amazingly the turrets did work afterwards and traveled the whole spectrum. This scope is only mounted on my AR15 varmint rifle so it doesn't see alot of recoil.

A niece worked for Burris in a crucial preassembly job. She decided to leave the company and gave notice so they could train somebody to replace her. She trained her replacmment and then gave the company a a final date. Then the replacment quit. Burris actully filed suit againt my niece in an attempt to force her to stay on the job. She was the only one capable of doing the job. If she quit, Burris production came to a standstill. She had to hire a lawyer to answer Burris.
Burris was an okay company until Burris died.

I have never even heard of such a thing. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] I do not see how Burris really thought they had a leg to stand on when we live in a some what free country. So after hearing the comments if I knew all this before hand I really would have not been surprised about all the crap that went on with my scope. I will make a comment on Leupold. I sent an older VIII in because it was not tracking right and I wanted Tall turrets installed. I sent it then checked the tracking number on it and I then called Leupold as it stated they received it. I wanted to see if they had any questions and the lady in the custom shop said nope we got it this morning and it is already on its way back to you. I about fell over. I shipped it there and had it back working very well I might add in 5 days time. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Now that is service. SeniorSendero they tried that crap with me to about it not being mounted right. Then they blamed the rings and I said that is funny they are your Signature rings he really did not know what to say. So I put a Nikon on that rifle shot it and guess what it tracked perfect. Demarpaint yes they have 1/8th MOA but you will need a MOA base for 1K as there scopes only have about 38MOA of adjustment. The scope I am getting to replace the Burris is the Leupold 6-18x40 VII. The glass looks really clear it has 1/4moa and has 50 MOA of adjustment. I talked with Leupold and they said it uses the same turrets as the VIII and it probably there best buy for the money . You can pick them up for around $450. If you want 1/8moa for sure Nikons 6-18 Buckmaster has that but again I think that scope has 38MOA but if you use a base it's not a big deal.
Dakor- We have 3 of those 6-18 leupolds w/target turrets, fine duplex. They are great scopes. They are clear, bright, the clicks work great, the fine duplex is nice, just a great scope under $500. I dont think theres any better.
They only burris I bought was a fullfield 2 3-9 w/bal plex. That scope sucked, period. It wasn't crisp or clear past about 6x, which is worthless in my opinion. I wont buy another one based on that alone. Leupold is so much better for just a litle more money, its not even funny.
We are hearing a lot of complaints about the debris in the scope also. I don't know what is going on with Burris right now, but to be honest, I would say away from their products until this problem gets resolved with the debris.

Thanks for the info. I have a Burris BD 8x32, and have been lucky, and was considering another BD with less power. I realize they have limited elevation, and use a 25 MOA base. The problem I have is I can't get a 100 yard zero with that base. Most likely I would be better off with a 20 MOA base, but I don't shoot that rifle under 100 yards so it doesn't matter.
After reading this, Burris has seen the last of my money!

To add to the above: I saw all of the paperwork; i. e., the letter threatening the law suit. I am a retired law enforcment officer so she asked for my advice. Before I gave her my advice, I wanted to look at all of the paper so I know first hand what transpired.
My niece had the crucal job of soddering the wire crosshair to the ring that held them in place. The company allowed the situation to develope where she was the only one that did this job. When she gave notice the first time, they made the job so lucrative and flexable that she stayed for a few more years. She wanted to quit to ttake care of her family. They made it possible for her to work at home. The last time she gave notice, she knew that her job was going to be eliminated. It was a matter of time. Burris was going to a plastic printed crosshair as a replacement for the steel crosshair. Over all, production and assembly standards were going down the tube.
She did hire a lawer. It took one letter from that lawyer to Burris to make the thing go away.
