Update On Burris Scope Failure On The .350 Mag Range Test

As mentioned in a previous post, my Burris Signature African series 1.75X5X32 LRS scope failed after (3) shots. I promptly sent the scope back to Burris who in turn promptly got back to me. I was informed the scope was indeed defective and they were not able to get replacement parts for it.

The good news is they would offer to send me a brand new in the box scope to replace the one that was defective. They offered to stay in the Signature line up for me, however none of the new Signature scopes had the lighted reticle I wanted. I realize the Signature scopes are a cut above the Fullfield II line up and I will likely be criticized for my decision, however I ended up going with the Burris Fullfield II Ballistic Plex with lighted reticle in 3X9X40. The scope still has FULLY multi coated optics and a Forever warranty. Everything I have read on the forums and reviews indicate the Fullfield II scope is a winner. The lighted reticle was important to me as I intend to use this gun on baited black bear hunts in the future. I knew the lighted reticle would NOT wash out against a black bear in fading light. The scope has 3.8 inches of eye relief when set a 3X and 3.1 when at 9X.

I rate BURRIS CUSTOMER SERVICE AT THIS POINT AS 5 STARS. *****

I have not received the new scope yet, however when I do, I will mount it on the Ruger in the Integral rings provided and get back to the range for a follow up test.
