jb177Elite 4300 vs Burris Sig Select - 8x32
I need another high magnification varmint type scope for my new 6mm br.
Elite
I've got an elite in 4x16 and I really like it, but the 8x32 has short target turrents and a heavier reticle. It also only has 20 MOA adjustment.
Burris
I have no experience with the burris at all, but it has taller turrents and a fine plex reticle. It only has 22 MOA adjustment.
I would like some input from anyone who has had the opportunity to look through either or both. I don't have the option to look before I buy b/c nobody around here carries these scopes so I have to order. The weight,length, and price differences don't really matter to me.

hvy barrelI have looked through a couple of Burris scopes & I have been impressed with what I have seen. I have not looked through the scope in question though. I, personally, would pick the Burris. JMO

AnotherAZWriterIn general, as you go up in magnfication, you lose adjustment range. A 30mm tube helps, but you will lose some adjustment range. The same holds true for 1/8 inch adjustments.
