The most accurate and easily adjustable scout scope. Wasn’t crazy about the price until I saw the quality and results

Loved this scope. It has a super clear picture and PLENTY of eye releif. I got this scope to put on my .45-70 for max eye relief and faster target aquisition for bear protection in alaska.

Light weight and long eye relief made this the perfect scope on a Sturm Ruger scout rifle.

quality, light, best bet for a scout rifle.

Works well, sturdy, dial works smoothly. A great deal.

Handles .45-70 recoil and makes a great scout rifle set up. This is especially so given the skinny tube diameter, as you can use low mount rings to keep scope in line with eye on lever or bolt gun. I have it on a Marlin .45-70. The cross-hairs are simple but they work. Glass quality is average or better for a scope in this price range. Have another long-eye-relief scope by Burris that is similar to this one, but is variable power and is for a revolver; this one has a smaller eye box and is a little harder to use, but the rifle keeps your eye in line for the most part. 5/5 stars.

Das Glas ist klein und leicht und erfüllt bei gutem Licht und mittlerer Schussenfernung bis 150m voll seine Aufgabe. Das Bild ist scharf, hell und klar.Es kann allerdings in Punkto verzerrungsfreier Abbildungsqualität nicht mit Premiumherstellern wie Schmidt&Bender, Zeiss oder Steiner mithalten.Da Diese jedoch, keine Gläser mit großem Augenabstand bauen, bleibt nur der Griff zu Gläsern von U.S.-Herstellern. Leupold baut sein Scout Firedot nicht mehr, bleibt also nur das Burris übrig.Für eine Allwetter-Pirschbüchse brauchbar!

This is a great scout scope, which I have mounted on my Ruger Scout. Not such a heavy plex, however: just slightly more than a regular plex reticle.

Good

After a lot of research and hands-on inspection of multiple models (Leupold, Burris, Nikon, Leatherwood) at outdoor retail stores, I think this Burris Scout 2-7 x 32 Ballistic Plex Scope is the best variable-power scout scope on the market. The optics are bright and crisp, the reticle is sharp and thin for precise aiming, and there are ballistic drop marks for those who may want to shoot at varying and extended distances without having to adjust the windage and elevation knobs. The variable magnification adjustment knob is also low-profile and stiff enough that it will not move under recoil or minor bumps and jostles inside of a range bag; it stays on whatever setting you put it, which is great.I mounted this scope on a Springfield M1A Scout Squad using the Burris XTR "Low" rings and this places the scope about as low as possible (barely 1/8" clearance over the upper handguard) for a natural, nearly perfect cheek weld on the standard stock (i.e., without need for a riser). Some may still want to add an approximately 1/4" to 1/2" riser pad to get a more solid and consistent cheek weld (ideally, you really press your cheek bone down firmly against the stock, but with this scope, you get a better sight picture if you hold your head ever so slightly higher), but this is definitely a very practical and workable solution for those who don't want to use any kind of riser. And it's MUCH lower than if you mount a more traditional scope over the action. In fact, if it were any lower, the rear aperture sight would obstruct the view anyway--not to mention the scope would touch the receiver.At 2X the scope has a decently generous eyebox that is easy to find for snap shots, and really it seems easy to align for a crisp picture all the way up to 5X or 6X. Only at 7X is it a little finnicky. At 7X, the eye relief is still perfect, but you have to be aligned exactly behind the reticle to see clearly because the eyebox is fairly narrow/unforgiving at that point. Any little offset in head placement off of the central viewing axis (up/down or side to side) will cause a haze/blur effect over part of the picture, and offset a little further, you'll quickly see the tunnel of the scope intruding into the picture or blacking it out entirely. This is really not a problem, as the Burris seems to tolerate variable head placement as well as or better than any of the other options I compared it to, and it is well within reasonable allowances for any appropriate head placement. (If you're really struggling to get your eye aligned with this scope, there's either a problem with your technique, or you didn't mount the scope with the correct relief.) In terms of eye relief, I can move my head pretty far up or down the stock--at any magnification level--and see fine, which is awesome since some other scout scopes get ridiculously finnicky on eye relief at the higher magnification levels. Just for reference, I have the rear edge of the scope placed approximately 1/8" rear of the chamber (i.e., the scope only overhangs the action by 1/8" or less). This provides PLENTY of clearance for casings to eject naturally, or to access the action for clearing a jam or whatever, and yields a bright clear picture almost anywhere you can put your head on the stock (again, provided your eye is in line with the central axis of the scope/reticle, of course).Add in the fact that Burris has a lifetime, transferrable warranty and choosing this scope is almost a no brainer. Yes, the Leatherwood Hi-Lux LER scope is pretty good too at half the price, and the Nikon Force ER is nearly as good for typically about $50 less, but the combination of clarity, durability, unbeatable warranty, and company reputation for excellent service are what ultimately sold me on the Burris. Now that I have some range time behind this scope, I'm thrilled with the choice and recommend it highly to others. Of course, watch prices carefully. Although many retailers were selling this scope at the $350 - $375 range, I waited and finally snagged it here on Amazon for $313, which is a great deal.If I were going to quibble over anything, the only improvement I can envision (and really, not necessary) is that it would be even cooler if the low end of the magnification dialed down to a 1X or 1.5X for even faster sight acquisition at really close distances. At 2X, I still think it's quick enough for hog hunting, but there is enough of a magnification disparity between what you see between your two open eyes that, if you were using this for extremely close quarters snap shots, you might lose a half-second to a second (compared with, say, a red dot optic) due to very momentary disorientation as your brain processes the sight picture. Of course, I can say from experience with other scopes that this can be overcome with training, but you do have to keep training to keep it up or the disorientation returns if you haven't practiced looking through your scope for a few weeks/months.If you're looking for scope covers, I found that the "Vortex Optics Flip Cap Optic Cover, Size 4" fits both ends of the scope very snugly. While I can't speak to the durability of these covers (these are the first Vortex brand scope covers I've tried), I like them better than my Butler Creek covers on another scope because they fold open almost 270 degrees and nearly lay flat across the scope instead of sticking straight out like the Butler Creek covers, which impedes the surrounding field-of-view and/or peripheral vision when you're shooting with both eyes open. Also, the portion of the cover that attaches over the end of the scope is a semi-flexible vinyl-like material instead of rigid plastic, and since it has to be stretched into place, it fits very snugly and hangs on under recoil. By contrast, I've always had to use a wrap or two of electrician's tape to keep my Butler Creek covers in place, even when using them on scopes/rifles that recoil less than the M1A does.

Simplement extraordinaire. Petit scope très performant. Image clair et très léger. J'ai installé sur ma Marlin 338mx, dans une position très avancées.

Mounted this scope on the forward rail of my new M1A SOCOM. At first, I could not get the rifle to zero ( ran out of adjustment ) . Burris inspected scope and nothing wrong. Turns out the mounting rail was out of alignment and I sent the rifle back to Springfield. It is perfect now. Scope centered and sighted in at 100 yd. I checked the ballistic reticle out to 300 yards and it really works. I am quite confident I can hit target out to 300 yd. which is all I need. I have not missed with it yet. I like the long eye relief and the fact that the scope is completely out of the way when the shell casings are ejected. Very happy with the scope and Burris support. The only negative I have with the scope is performance at really low light conditions. I find I need to stop hunting about 10 minutes earlier with this scope because I run out of light. I can hunt longer with the larger scope on my bolt action rifle. But that is just the nature of the scope, not really a flaw.

I bought this to mount on my .308 Browning BLR '81 takedown rifle. It fit nicely with some Burris Zee rings and I am very happy with it's performance.Crisp and clear optics and perfect 'scout' eye relief. I will definitely buy Burris again.I mounted it carefully using a torque driver and it was easy to sight in. So far it has held zero with no issues. I haven't had it on any camping trips yet, but I have been out in cool, rainy weather target shooting all day and there have been no fogging problems.Well worth the money paid in my opinion.
