Good scout scope for money, has plus points and cons. - Burris Scout 2.75x20mm 1in Tube Second Focal Plane (SFP) Rifle Scope

Bought for a lightweight Ruger1022 Takedown build. also looked at Leopold VXII 2.5x and Weaver 4X scout scopes. The Burris worked for my build better than the others for three reasons, primarily the longer and more forgiving eye relief (extra 3 to 4 inches), lighter weight and shorter length. My particular build used a Volquartson Light Carbon fiber bull barrel with cantilevered mount on barrel and a Magpul X22 backpacker stock. By reversing the mount on the barrel I was still able to keep the takedown length of the Ruger Magpul X22 combination to under 20 inches, with the scope mounted directly over the barrel. With the scope that far forward the extra eye relief of the Burris scope was needed and having the scope mounted to the barrel removed any variation in zero when the Ruger was taken down and then reassembled. The CONS: of the Burris scope are the Glass is good not great, same or better than the Weaver a little under the Leopold, and the field of view is less than the other two. The turret adjustments are not real positive in feel, have to be careful when doing your adjustments, they are accurate when doing the box but a little "soft mushy". For my purposes on a 22LR that will rarely see shots over 100 yards the Glass and field of view of the Burris is more than I will ever need, and the turret adjustments are OK for my use with the gun sighted in for 50 yards there will be minimal corrections needed in actual use. For UNDER 300.00 dollars If your need is for a longer forgiving eye relief, compact length and low weight the Burris I feel is the best of the three. If you need better glass and a little brighter scope go with the Leopold, for more magnification and still have light weight and compactness go with the Weaver. I hope this helps, thanks
