🙂 I am Ma newbie and to tell ya I have had a bad experience with Burris products their scopes. I have a 6×24 x50 high end scope that I mounted on a sako 243 heavy barrell forester.Shot good and held zero real good also.After about a month the bluing was wearing off the rifle.It was not abused and kept in a high quality suitcase since I set this rifle up for competition.I called Burris and they gladly told me to send the rifle back and would inspect same. I called later to inquire as to the status of my rifle and was advised by Mr attitude like I was bothering him that it would be 12 week turnaround for repairs to scopes.This was their normal turnaround for their products. Wow stick with Leupold Nikkon or some other reputable co. and stay away from burris as far as their scopes.
