Thread: Burris Signature HD now in NZ

One of my sons bought a 3-15 illuminated a couple of weeks back, it seems to tick most boxes; reticle is suitable for most things, illumination and its control system are good, zero stop system is good, side focus functions as you would expect, optical clarity is very good, field of view at equivalent magnification settings is the same as the VX6's I have. In fading light I compared it with a VX6 3-18x50 HD, VX6 2-12, at the same magnification, and found the performance to be better than the 2-12 and nothing in it against the 3-18x50HD when reading 75 mm high numbers, black on white on a bridge sign at 600 yds. We haven't done a box test with it yet so no feedback there, only negative in my mind versus the Leupolds is that the illumination control knob is stacked on the outside of the side focus control knob so it protrudes further on the otherwise "clean" side of the scope that is usually against your back if you have it slung riding a quad or a horse, But at anything between $1000 and $1200, depending where you buy it, and with the Burris forever warranty it has to be exceptional value, and if you want to pay more because you feel it's too cheap there are plenty of other options.
