SpaceCase from United States, TX Public Profile

Received this thermal and worked great out of the box. Image extremely clear, navigating menus and options extremely quick, and price point was very affordable. Mounted this on an AR15 platform chambered in 6.5 Grendel, zeroed it in and noticed it wasn't as easy as moving the reticle to point of impact as indicated in the manual. I didn't think anything of it once I got it dialed in.
Turned the scope on a few days later (on black hot mode) and the image was very bright to where you couldn't really see anything and the bottom left corner was black with the the hot tracker crosshair stuck there. Tried everything the manual said to do and it would not correct. Contacted Burris with pics of what was happening. They advised that the scopes have been having issues with AR15 platform vibration knocking the screens out. They did not recommend using their thermal optics on an AR15 platform. Burris did say that on bolt actions and AR10 rifles, they were not seeing the issue as much. This leads me to believe that something internal on these optics is not stabilized properly and there is a risk that anything with recoil may damage this scope. I firmly believe this was also causing me issues when zeroing. I give 2 stars as the thermal clarity is outstanding comparatively and Burris was honest with me about the optic, but it becomes more of a handheld monocular with the impact recoil/vibration has on the internal workings.
