Thread: burris droptine scope

has anyone used this scope on a centrefire rifle? what were your thoughts on it? what size zoom did you go for for bush hunting/out to 200-300m

I had one 4.5-14x42 on a 223 and then 243. Was fine.
Shot wallabies out to 500m with it.
Held zero really well, esp when my rifle was on a ATV a lot.

Had a 3-9x40 on a Ruger 10/22 semi. Thousands and thousands of rounds through it with the semi action cycling / slamming, scope never missed a beat and held zero for years.

Set up a handful of guns with the 3-9 and 4.5-14, they go very well great bang for buck and no issues 3-9 easily gets a 7mm08etc out to 500m
Just zero at 100 then use the holdover at 400 or 500 and adjust to suit it at your max range

I have a FF2 on a .223 that has seen a lot of shooting, and my partner has a droptine on a .22. Both work well.
The FF2 is very durable, it has held zero through numerous whacks and smacks. The droptine hasn't been 'tested'.
