zmad5306's Review of Burris Scope Fullfield 3-9x40 E1 Ballistic Plex Muzzleloader 1in Tube SFP Rifle Scope
I have 3 of these E1's now, 2 in 350 Legend and this one. I put this on a CVA Wolf V2. Scope holds zero well and I was able to get sub 1 inch groups at 100 yards. The etched reticle is really nice and I believe leads to higher durability. These E1's are my favorite sub $200 hunting scope. This is a high value scope, you get a lot for the money.
I a few minor annoyances/issues with them:
-Parallax is fixed at 50 yards, so the target is slightly blurry at 100, would have been better set at 100 or even 150. This really isn't an issue for hunting though.
-Low light performance could be better, very difficult to see anything in the last 5 to 7 minutes of shooting light.
-Zeroing out the turrets after zeroing the scope is really difficult without accidently turning the turrets and messing up your zero. This probably isn't an issue for most folks, but I do like to zero the elevation turrets so I can make vertical adjustments for different loads.
-The zoom ring is really stiff and hard to turn when cold.
I don't think there is a better 3-9x40 in the $150 range. Which is nice when you have several rifles to outfit with optics. I like it well enough that I plan to buy another Muzzleloader version for my old Knight which has a defective scope on it now.
