    Burris Veracity PH

    I have two of the original 4-20 Veracity PH and one of the new red ring 3-15. I have found that the only time i had an issue was when i wasn't following the zero procedure exactly from the beginning when zeroing when i switched to a different rifle. plain and simple don't skip steps. I am not...

    Burris XTR2-best scope option for around 500 bucks?

    I have an old 8 mil/rev XTR2 and that is a solid scope, it is the G2B reticle, so it is thick enough to be on a long range hunting rifle. While it is solid, it is still by FAR the worst XTR2 that i have. I have the more modern ones in 3-15, 4-20, and 5-25 and XTR3's nonilluminated in 3.3-18 and...

    Describe your perfect scope

    basically a Burris Veracity PH with the electronics able to sense temp and barometric pressure, better glass, more elevation, and a MIL reticle... and i really liked the floating + of the original veracity, so i guess that too.

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR3!!!

    I have a nonilluminated 3.3-18 and a nonilluminated 5.5-30... the 5.5-30 is incredible, the 3.3-18 is pretty disappointing in comparison.

    Top quality manufacturers

    I have a number of scopes in the $1200 and under range and had an Burris XTR Pro that i sold to my brother. My brother has a number of $2-3000 scopes (Kahles, US Optics Foundation, a variety of Steiner... and a few i can't remember). From what i have seen after sampling them along side my...

    Rifle Scopes Verocity PH 2.5-12x reticle??

    I have the 4-20 and i am not sure how the reticle differs in the 2.5-12, but at 4x the Veracity PH does great at low light. I won't be home for a couple days, but i will see if i can get a pic of it if i remember.

    Short action hunting caliber ?

    I absolutely love target shooting my 300 WSM. It is my most accurate round. Hard not to vote for that.

    Rifle Scopes Best XTR for the money? (Under $900)

    I have an old 8 mil/rev 3-15 xtr2 g2b, and newer 3-15 g2b, 4-20 SCR and a 5-25 g2b and used to have a different 5-25 scr. I also have a 3.3-18 scr non illuminated and a 5.5-30 scr nonilluminated. The 4-20 XTR2 is just super clear and far and away my BEST XTR2. The 3.3-18 XTR3 nonilluminated is...

    Burris Customer Services at its worst, please help/advise. (UPDATE: 09DEC23)

    I received two of the Veracity PH's and they are both perfect. Super easy to use. Burris hit a home run with them. Very soon i think scopes like this are going to be everywhere. The veracity PH is about as good as the glass in other scopes about the same price, but great reticle and the built in...

    The specks are not, but the glob of goo on the inside that you will never see when using the scope.... yes.

    Burris Customer Services at its worst, please help/advise. (UPDATE: 09DEC23)

    I have only dealt with Burris C/S twice. once was when i had a scope cap break (pre COVID) and they sent out new ones quickly. The next time was when i tried to order something from Burris (I believe it was an XTR3 race dial) that they used to sell from there website, and that C/S person was...

    Rifle Scopes The Arken Optics Thread (merged)

    I am not a big fan of the EP5 reticle, i much prefer the SCR... The turrets on the XTR2 are just fantastic. The turrets on my EP5 are just adequate.

    Opinions needed, Buying for a friend: Venom or XTR II

    Of those two, the Burris XTR2, but for a hunting scope for a guy around 70, get the Veracity. It has a much better reticle for hunting, and still dials wonderfully if you want to use that.

    Optic recommendation 3-18 on a budget

    I have 2 of the 5-25, a 4-20, two 3-15 (one is an old 8 mil/rev), and the 4-20 is better than any of the others. The 4-20 is even a little better than my Bushnell DMR2.

    Rifle Scopes Quality SFP Hunting Scope

    My favorite hunting scope is the 3-15x50 Burris Veracity with the E1 FFP reticle. it is easily seen at low power at the limits of legal shooting with a wooded background. It has no battery and is the only FFP hunting scope that i would recommend at low power without illumination (it doesn't...
