Reviews & Ratings for Burris Fullfield II Ballistic Plex E1 4.5-14x42mm Rifle Scope — 13 reviews — Page 1

I purchased my first Burris about 45 years ago. It was a 3-9x40 signature posi-lock. It was a the great product therefore when I needed to get scopes for new rifles I went to Burris. I purchased 4 scopes 3 fullfield II 2 in 3-9x40 and 1 4.5-14x42. They all functioned perfect. The 4.5-14x42 I put on a uintah bolt upper in 6MM ARC. The side parallax made shooting precise shots at 100yds very rewarding. The scope functioned perfectly and is a pleasure to shoot with.I can't say enough about how pleased I am with it. The 4th scope is a 4.5-14x42 droptine with a parallax adjustment on the objective lens

I started using Burris Fullfield II scopes some 40 Years ago and have bought the newer models through the years. I have never had an issue with this one or any in the past. The Ball. Plex rec. is absolutely great and Burris was the leader. Quality of glass and coatings have always been at least one ranking better than all other brands of scopes at the same price point. I also just bought a new Burris Veracity for my newweatherby mark v 270 wby mag Deluxe. This scope went on a BAR 338 win mag and has been totally solid through two hundred full power loads, both Hornady Superformance and handloads.

I bought this scope out of a group of 6 finalists in the approx. $300 range. The OP rep said this one had the best glass. The shipping box was very beat up when I got it, but so far the scope seems to be ok. Sighting in at 25,50, then 75 yards went pretty quick. I'm using the scope on a Savage A17, rigged for varmints, esp squirrels. Around here we mostly have smart squirrels, they know what your up to. So long range shots (ie 100+ yds) are a norm and I needed a good scope to reach out to 200 yds easily.

The ballistic plex is a great idea but through the glass at 100 yds the tics are very small and its hard to set the reticle on target. I've done it by using the tics to estimate windage then just holding over what I think its going to be. So theyre helpful but not critical. But I'm not used to the scope all the way yet.

The mag ring is really stiff to turn. Your rings better be tight! The rig is tough and well built. This is my first Burris scope so I'm hoping for the best. Stay tuned.

I have been impressed by the quality in Burris scopes at good price points. The purchase price goes toward the scope and not of lot of packaging extras you never use. This is the largest objective lens-sized scope that fit my rifle with normal height scope rings. The 42mm lends collects a lot of light and a "14" beats a "9" by a large margin.

Well, I liked it enough to buy another. I put these on my 6.8 spc and 308 where I usually don't hunt over 150 to 200 yds - maybe 300 yds at paper. I like the reticle- has graduations for wind and elevation and is plenty good enough out to the distances I shoot. Nice glass and very clear for the cost. I prefer the focus turret instead of the front ring, but the numbers seem to be dead on at 100yds. With the 42 mm lens and 30 mm tube, it lets in ample light for early and late shooting. Others that have shot my guns, liked the scope as well. Very pleased!

BDC Reticle is outstanding! To have the wind compensating dots included as well makes for less math and a faster on target shot IF used properly. Glass quality? Burris has best glass for buck. I compared to Nikon Monarch, Leopold, Redfield etc... Heres the bottom line: I can see my .223 caliber holes on white paper at 200 yards. Good luck beating that with another $300 scope!!! Only downside is Zero cant be reset. Sucks but I've Marked my new zero with a silver marker. Cant have everything... but BDC and glass quality makes it the BEST option I've seen under $600... as long as you dont need to dope ur scope constantly.
Pros: Superb Glass, AO, Awesome Reticle
Cons: Non Adjustable Zero

this is a very nice scope, I was expecting it to have the Posi Loc system as it is listed in your product details as having it.

I am pleased with this scope. Intend to put it on a 17HMR for rabbits.
Pros: Great optics.Ballistic reticle works well. Good value for money
Cons: None.

Having had good experiences with Burris platform, selected and paid for this one because the ad and other gun magazine articles gave impression reticle is red. It is black and floats in middle of fov, does not extend to the edges. Also, click adjustments, while very precise, are barely perceptible by feel and sound. However, the body is tight and well built; glass clear and really bright!; power range is great. It zero'd in tight and fast on my .270 WSM at 103 ranged yards and stayed on zero through all 40 rounds fired. Quality exceeds cost! Excellent tool.
Pros: Tough and tight. Clear and bright. Precise 1/4 MOA clicks. Excellent power range.
Cons: Reticle is NOT red and floats in middle of field of view.

Great value
