[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 537166, member: 25383"] a long time ago I had a Burris 8x-32x Signature scope on a 6mm Remingtion. It was a constant fight with mirage and image shift when zooming it up and down. The eye relief was also a pure pain, and just never could ever find a good combo. But the most glaring problem was backlash in the turrets. Lots and lots of backlash! Sent it back to Burris with a long note (actually the dealer sent it back) and a phone call. The scope came back about six weeks later in the exact same condition! Dealer sends it back with a stinging note plus another three or four bad scopes. They didn't even take the scope out of the box! Just returned it as fixed. While this was going on I needed a scope for a hunt, and the dealer had just gotten in a Tasco World Class + 8x-32x. Looked like a Leupold MK.IV! We mounted it, and off to the range I went. Half to one third of the mirage that the Burris had, and probably about 1/10th the backlash in the turrets. Eye relief was better, but still could have been longer. I liked the scope so well I bought a second one, and asked the dealer to see if they made a strait 24x. They did, and I bought one. Wasn't bad, but I liked the other two better. A little later my brother and I are at the range punching paper. He's a Leupold guy 100%, and he shot a few rounds thru a rifle that had one of the 32x Tascos on it. He thought it was a MK. IV scope! Looking back I think Tasco missed the boat by not doing a 4x-16x and a 6x-24x off that same tube. gary [/QUOTE]
