[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 270715, member: 8"] I am not here to bash Burris Scopes so I did not post the reasons why I would not use them on a long range big game rifle. Burris has made good scopes for 30 years. I still remember when I first heard of them. I was using Redfields in those days. When I say the limit for me is 350 yards it comes from laying on a hill trying to kill a groundhog at that range with a 22. It also comes from putting the crosshairs on quite a few deer at ranges of 300 to 500 yards. The Fullfield II are real fuzzy in the red spectrum. If I did not have a spotting scope I would not have known it was a groundhog. Perhaps they are fuzzy in the green too but I only notice it when the animal is not sharp and distinct. The other thing is they do not have parallax adjustment and it can be pretty bad at longer ranges if you are not careful with your stockweld. You should understand that I am retired and will spend a good bit of money on my Fall hunting trip and so I would be foolish to spend $5,000 on a trip and rely on a scope that might not deliver. But when I am just hunting squirrels or muzzle loading for deer in Maryland there is no need for an expensive scope. Maybe the new ones are better, I really do not know. I only know the things I have done and the equipment I personally use. [/QUOTE]
