Reviews & Ratings for Burris Fullfield 3-12x42mm 1in Tube Riflescope — 9 reviews — Page 1

Outstanding sharpness and light absorption in a compact package. Very satisfied

There is good balance between budget and functionality here.

Zeroing controls are very straight forward, and offer a good deal of adjustment and configuration optics. The turret ring having been made with no splined interface comes as both a good budget design as well as gives the ability to be picky about marking alignments.

Reticle was very well thought out! The simple center illuminating cross is all that's needed for hunting applications, and the wind hold design is basically hidden within a simple duplex. This is a great reticle to help duplex only hunters start adding simple references for wind hold.

Burris is walking a very nice line for budget vs features by how they are engineering the features to work along with budget minded manufacturing / machining process.
I don't want to push the budget any higher on this scope, but a true MOA turret (not SMOA 1/4")and a 5-6 mrad turret would be FABULOUS!

It's hard to come from a mindset of precision rifle to hunting and still expect a scope to track even when it's a more budget minded proposition.

After spending several weeks testing, the Burris Fullfield 3–12×42, I can confidently say it strikes a solid balance between clarity, performance, and value. I’ve used a wide range of optics in both hunting and range settings, and this scope easily holds its own against higher-priced competitors.
Mounting and zeroing the Fullfield were smooth and intuitive. The scope’s solid construction made alignment easy, and the included instructions were clear. I was impressed with how quickly I achieved a tight zero within a few rounds and the reticle adjustment was responsive with tactile, repeatable clicks. The turrets have a nice resistance that prevents accidental movement in the field but are still easy to fine-tune.
In terms of shootability, the Fullfield shines. The eye relief is generous, allowing a comfortable shooting position. The magnification range (3–12×) provides flexibility, 3× is perfect for quick shots in tight cover, while 12× gives excellent clarity out to 300 yards. The Advanced Exposed Synergy (AE) knob paired with the Burris app and zero-stop makes real-world hold/dial workflows straightforward, you can quickly generate holdover or dial recommendations in the app, then set the knob or use the reticle holds as needed. The glass is crisp, with impressive light transmission in low-light conditions like dawn or dusk. While this model doesn’t include digital features like picture-in-picture or onboard rangefinding, its simplicity and optical precision make it a shoot...

Very good value scope. I mounted it up on an air rifle with no problems. Easy to sight in. Eye relief is excellent. Windage and elevation adjustments are nice tactile clicks. Forgot a battery so I was unable to test the light up reticle. Held zero despite being bumped around in the truck for a few days.

I’ve had the chance to test the Burris Fullfield 3-12x42mm Illum. PA AE Wind MOA on several rifles including my Springfield Waypoint .22LR, 6.5 Creedmoor, and .308. After plenty of range time, I plan to keep it on the Waypoint for precision rimfire work and move it to the Creedmoor for lighter-weight hunting trips.

Ease of Setup:
Mounting and zeroing were straightforward. The turret adjustments tracked accurately and returned to zero without any issues. The reticle illumination and side parallax were intuitive and easy to fine-tune.

Shootability:
Eye relief is generous, and the magnification ring is smooth with just the right amount of resistance. The illuminated reticle is crisp even in low light, making it great for early morning or late-evening hunts. I found the button ergonomics simple and responsive, and clarity remained excellent across the entire magnification range.

Field-Worthiness:
This optic feels durable and well-balanced. It’s rugged enough for the field yet light enough for long hunts or rimfire sessions. It’s already handled everything from small-bore sessions to full-power recoil without losing zero.

Price Value:
For the performance, build quality, and optical clarity you get, the value is excellent. Burris continues to deliver dependable optics at a fair price point.

Suggested Improvements:
A slightly larger or more tactile illumination control would make quick adjustments easier with gloves, but that’s a minor detail.

Recommendation:
I’d recomme...

There’s a reason this scope line has been around for 50 years. No other company offers this many perks/ features at this price point. Plus the confidence if it breaks you can replace it for free.

Burris gave me this Fullfield optic to test out for free. Thank you Burris and Expertvoice for the opportunity to try this scope. I will start with this being an incredible value scope that does not shave quality from optic clarity, solid adjustability, sound capability in low light scenarios, and excellent fit for my 17HMR. In all, this scope checks all of the marks that an optic 3 times this price point would equal. I was expecting an average scope, but I got a dang good piece that will remain on my rifle!

Out of the box, this scope was well made, sleek, and had a lot of simple features that go a long way. Mounting the scope was easy, but required a "high" set of scope rings to ensure the bell of the scope wasn't touching my rifle barrel. This may differ on other rifles, but was easily resolved by purchasing new scope bases. Sighting in was easy and the turret adjustments were simple. Make sure you have the provided hex key with you when attempting to adjust the elevation turret! It is a small hex key that is relatively uncommon to have in a range bag.

Functionally, the scope was great. All the features were intuitive and the wind reticle provided an uncluttered sight picture that still allows for on the fly windage adjustments. I love the illuminated reticle and having "off" positions in between each illumination level makes it practical while hunting.

I used this scope for roughly 18 hours, mounting, sighting in at the range, testing handloads at the range, and finally hunting in the mountains. It performed well in each scenario and I was able to punch my mule deer tag with it!

I think the Fullfield line is a great value and I would recommend this scope to anyone that needs a practical, affordable scope that punches above it's price point.
