I've put two on customers' rifles. They appear to be OK and the customers are happy. I personally own three Signiture scopes. One good thing about Burris is that their scopes are made in the USA. They have an excellent warranty policy.

I have a couple of Burris 3x9 Fullfield II scopes. I just wish I had tried the first one out at ranges beyond 100 yds before I bought the second. Out to 200 yds, the parallax problems aren't very apparant, but at 300 yds, I couldn't get a group better than 8 inches with a 7mm Rem Mag. It was grouping less than 1 inch at 100 and about 2 inches at 200. When I put the rifle steady on the bags and checked the parallax, I could see the cross hairs moving in excess of 6 inches at 300 with the rifle steady as I moved my eyes around in the "sweet spot". I put an old Leupold 2x7 on the same rifle and it grouped about 3.5 inches at 300. Needless to say, I won't be buying any more Fullfield II scopes.

I also have a couple of Burris Signature models. They are great. Only complaint about them is weight, too heavy.

David, you just identified a problem I experienced yesterday. I was shooting my 308 and it puts 3 shots into under an inch @ 100 yards. I then put the target out to 200 yards and the 3 shots all hit at the same level but were spaced about 4 inches apart for a total group of 8 inches. No wind and I let the barrel cool after each shot. I'm using the Burris 3-9 Compact. Is what I'm describing attributible to the scope? Help me out here!!! Thanks in advance.
