I have one on my 300 Weatherby and have never had a problem with it.  Good scope.

It is a good scope from what I have heard with a couple friends owning them.  I actually have been told that the Pentax Pioneer is the same scope for less price.  Have not looked into that but if it is it would be a good deal when you can get a 4.5-14x42 for $199.

I might have to look into that scope. Thanks coop

They're a decent scope for the money.  Definately wouldn't be my choice though. :twocents:  I've seen a buddy of mine go through 2 with his Warbird.  He's now on his 3rd, only because Burris has stood behind their scope and for some odd reason he won't put a Leupold or better on it.

Pentax Pioneer is the same scope as the Buris Fullfield.  Here is a killer price.

Yes, 2 pards and I bought 3 of em. 2 3-9's, and a 4-14. None of the 3 held zero. Buy a Nikon.

Wow!!  :o   I have two and like them. Never lost zero for me. I do prefer the nikons I own but I don't see anything wrong with the Burris.

Hmm, musta been a bad batch. The 2 3-9's were ordered at the same time, the 4.5-14 was ordered a little later??? For the scratch, Nikon offers way better glass.IMO

  The FFII cost half the price of the Nikon.

 I just bought a Pentex Poineer for my 7 mag. So far no trouble, but iot hasn't had the test of time yet.

A couple of years ago I did extensive reading about scopes before deciding on which one to buy (I ultimately ended up with a Weaver Grand Slam); however, through my readings, it seemed that the Simmons Aetec kept coming up as one of the most popular scopes and that it had a fantastic "bang for your buck" value.  I doubt it can compare to Zeiss, Leupold Golds, or Nikkon Monarchs but the value may be the deciding factor.  Also note, I've never used one so I cant really add any personal experience.  I'm not trying to hijack the thread but I just thought I would throw om my :twocents:

I bought my first Burris Fullfield in 1992 and hunted with it for years. Around 2002 I was hunting and my sling screw pulled out from the stock dropping my rifle right on my scope breaking the recticles. Called Burris and they send to send it to them. A few weeks later my scope was back and good as new with the exception of some scratches from the fall. Shoots just as accurately as when I bought it.

I've since re-stocked (Boyds), glass bedded, and re-scoped (Burris Fullfield II). Last Thursday at the range I was putting 180 grain Sierra Boat-Tails (hand loads) one on top of the other (each whole punched was touching the last) at 100 yards. I'm happy with that! ;)

Have you considered the Elite 3200 series from Bushnell? I have heard great things and currently have one on my 30-06. No issues so far.
