I alway hate comparing quality optics but Im in the process of purchasing another scope to fit my needs.Have decided to go either with the Burris Fullfield II line or the Leupold VXII line.Never owned either of the two particular models and would like input as to quality preference toward one or the other. Thanks

Of the 2 I would go with the Leupold. The Burris is now made in China and they don't seem to have the quality or clarity that they used to. Never had any problems with a Leupold but I hear their customer service is excellent. The Nikon Buckmaster is also e very good scope in that price range.

I am not going to knock Burris BUT...I have had apx 30 Leupold scopes over the years along with many other brands and seldom was I unhappy with the quality and performance of the Leupold....my oldest is from 1982 and still going strong.....the VXII is a good scope that will handle most needs short of the super recoiling dangerous game type setups.......this has been my experience and that of several of my shooting -gun trading friends.....good luck and good shooting!!

I have owned 1 Burris FFII and won't own another. I didn't care for the tunnel vision effect. I have nothing but great things to say about Leupold. You could even go with the VX I and be more than happy. Lou

Of the two go leupold. Might consider Zeiss Conquest as well.

I have two Burris FFII's and one Zeiss Conquest and 0 Leupolds in my safe.
FFII's are very good for $200.
Both Burris' are on high recoil rifles and zero problems.
Leupold gets too many scopes returned for that legendary customer service to be a contender.

Go Zeiss Conquest, and you'll never be sorry. The reticle is far better, as are the optics. I have had zero problems with mine and one especially has been to Africa, Alaska, British Columbia, etc. and hunted hard.

I've never owned a Burris scope that didn't end up disappointing me. Of the two I'd much rather have a leupold.
That being said I agreee that the Zeiss Conquests are better scopes for the same money than the comparable Leupolds...............DJ

plainsdrifter,

The Zeiss Conquest has superior optics to the Leupold scopes. Since buying ten Leupolds to supplant my older scopes I discovered the Conquest line a few years ago and since then I have bought 7 Zeiss and no more Leu's.

The best source for Zeiss, and other optics, is at.

I have got all my Conquests from this list and they are as new.
