MO's Review of Burris BTS 50 3.3-13.2x50mm Thermal Rifle Scope

Bought the BTS50 in October of 2022. I had been using it around the house as a monocular and the image is very clear. Mounted it to my AR15 and the first time I took it on my first hunt, the auto correct feature would take it to a horrible view and there was a shadow on the right lower corner of the screen. Contacted Burris and they said it sounded like the shutter was sticking to send it in. They had it 4 weeks and received an email saying it was being returned without explanation of what the fix was. Contacted them and they said they could not duplicate the issue. Read several reviews here and seen that it cannot handle the recoil from an AR15 platform. I have a family to support and don't have the money to buy a monocular which is what this will turn out to be if I can't use it on my AR15. Forever warranty doesn't cover Thermal optics. If this could handle the recoil, I would give this scope a 10 out of 5 rating. If this a known issue, I wonder if they are working on a fix or am I just S.O.L.
Pros:
  • Very clear as a monocular
Cons:
  • Not good on an AR platform
Would Recommend: No
