After reading a lot of reviews. I decided to buy this scope and i am glad i did. The optics are very good and clear until you put it on 60 power. 60 power gets a little dark and the eye relief goes away. At 40 power i could easily see .243 holes at 200 yards and that is good enough for me.

Pros:  Optics quality. Focus. Light transmission.
Cons:  Tripod a little flimsy. Wish tube was rubber coated.
Would recommend:  yes

I have a Leupold Sequioia in 20-60x80, with a similar kit (tripod,case). The only difference is an angled eyepiece. I did not expect the Burris to hold its own at 1/2 the price of the Leupold, but I was in for a surprise. I was on my patio at night focusing on an office building 1000 yards away. With the Leupold, at maximum power, I could see inside a dimly lit office and picked out a computer screen and 2 orange blobs on the office walls. Could not focus on these clearly. I set up the Burris, and I resolved the 2 orange blobs as Haloween Pumpkin decorations. I could pick out the details of the pumpkins faces, even though the blinds were half closed.
