I go out on hunting trips with friends. They all appreciate my understanding in the domain and one of them suggested me to share my knowledge and experiences for others. Here is a complete guide on choosing best Burris scope or any other popular brand.

Factors To Consider When Buying A Burris Scope

Hunting is an art, some of us have a natural instinct to hit the bull’s eye every single time even with a deer scope. For others, a sophisticated Burris Scope gives them that edge and increases their accuracy.

Here are some features of Burris Scopes that one should always look into before selecting a Burris Scope.

Adjustable Objective Lenses:

A scope equipped with adjustable objective lens gives a clear parallax free image of the target. For those of you who are new to hunting, it is a major issue when setting your aim. So, always buy a scope with adjustable objective lenses for better image.

Solid Tube Scope:

Hunting is not done inside your living room, to hunt you go to rough terrains, unforeseen regions and are subjected to challenging situations where your gear will withstand damages, extreme weather etc. For such conditions a passionate hunter must always be ready with a Solid Tube Scope which is capable of handling such situations.

Durable Material:

Recoil and rugged handling are a major challenge for Burris scopes. You should always make sure that the scope you choose is made of durable material. Also make sure that the supports and fixing elements of the scope are durable enough to hold the scope with the rifle in case of a shock or a fall.

BDC Reticle:

Every bullet drops in height as it moves forward after a certain distance. In order to ensure accuracy even at long range targets, there are scopes equipped with BDC or Bullet Drop Compensator. Always buy a scope equipped with BDC for highly accurate targeting.

Nitrogen Filled Scope:

A nitrogen filled airtight scope gives you an advantage when hunting in extreme conditions. A nitrogen filled scope is fog proof, water proof and shock proof which increases your accuracy in extreme conditions.

Easy To Mount:

Never buy a scope which needs tools to mount it one the rifle. The scope should be very easy to attach and detach to make it easy to handle. When hunting you might need to remove the scope, adjust it or even replace it. For such situations, an easy to remove scope comes in very handy.

Specific Calibre:

Some of the best Burris scopes come with a calibre specification. This specification indicates that the scope is designed to be used with rifles of a certain calibre. I personally recommend scopes that are specially designed for your rifle calibre. If you do, you will see an increase in aim and ease of use.

Features Offered By High End Scopes

One of my friends was so obsessed with my new scope because of its high price, he actually forced me to research on the advantages a costly scope gives over an economical scope. When you buy a high end scope, you get a huge edge over the competition or a better hit rate because of your enhanced capabilities. Here are some of the features of a high end scope that make you a pro hunter.

Lightweight:

Hunting involves climbing hilltops, crossing rivers and walking for hours. It is a challenging task and the weight you carry reduces your range. The more weight you carry the more tired you get. Although, the weight of the scope is not a very big factor but a lightweight scope helps. Even when handing the rifle, the weight of the scope plays a vital role. The rifle becomes light weight and easy to manoeuvre with a light scope.

Durable:

A costly scope is made with state of art material like toughened carbon fibre body or any other high strength material. These high end scopes lasts for years without replacement because of their durability.

Reflective Coating:

You might have felt that sunlight is a major obstacle in hunting. When you face towards the sun, your scope gives you a very poor visibility because the sunlight acts as a shiny barrier. In order to have accurate targeting even in bright daylight, you should buy a scope with a high quality reflecting coating on its lenses which prevents the sunlight from entering the scope.

Wide View:

Wide view lenses are costlier than narrow lenses, however they are totally worth the investment. Wide lenses give you a wider look on your target, so that your target never leaves your sight. In a narrow scope, you will have to look with the other eye or without the scope to find the target if it makes a sudden movement and elopes from the scope. This issue is not there in wide view scopes.

It makes the lens very easy to handle in all kinds of conditions even when the scope suffers great shocks, falls and great recoils, the lenses remain intact and stable in all cases.

One piece durable body with Nitrogen filled tube makes the scope very durable. There are no chances of breaking the lens into pieces even in extreme falls.

Burris Forever Warranty:

If you think your hunting experiences are really wild, always buy a Burris scope. Burris offers lifetime warranty on every model of hunting scope which covers all kinds of issues that arise in the scope.

What to look for when buying a Burris Scope?

Each Burris model is designed for a certain purpose, keeping in mind the user and their requirements. When I switched the scope from basic 7x Burris lens to a more sophisticated 24x lens, I knew the difference. Here are four things you need to understand before selecting a scope.

Type of Target:

The choice of scope depends on the type of target we have, if we are having a fast moving deer as our target, a high zoom sophisticated lens will make us loose the target. However, if you go for a bird hunting which needs targeting from long ranges, you will need the scope.

Range of Hunting:

The range over which you will hunt your targets is the major factor to be considered when selecting the scope. For short range hunting a short zoom lens is more effective and easy to handle while for a long range hunting extended zoom of the scope becomes very helpful.

Handling Experience:

The more sophisticated scope you choose, the more you will have to learn about handling. You can start with a basic scope and later switch to a sophisticated scope when you get to used to handling the basic operations of the scope.

Stability:

Some people hunt while in motion while others hunt laying stable on ground. It depends on the choice of target and conditions. I move a lot when hunting, so I personally prefer less sophisticated easy to use scopes which can be handled while on foot.
