Just ordered one, blind, never looked through this particular one , but, not having anything near by this is how it's done.

I currently have Zeiss, Sightron and Leupold on all my stuff.

Has anybody tried the newer Fullfield with the E1 reticle?

Thoughts?
 
What did you pay for yours, and where did you order it? I'm looking at the same scope...but have only looked through the 3-9X...and indoors. lol I liked the reticle, and the glass looked super clear/bright.

Prairie Gun Traders, always very good pricing and always very very fast shipping.

Before being on the rifle...

Optically, nice and clear and nice contrast for a cheap scope.

The adjustments , pretty mushy IMO, but, it's a cheaper scope and I will use the reticle for compensation so once it is zeroed hopefully nothing changes.

Once the rifle arrives and I get a load figured I'll know for sure how it well it holds up.
 
I've had/have lots of the burris under 500 scopes - 3-9mini, 4.5-14 timberline, 3-9 e1 (2), ff2"s in 3-9 and 4.5-14 and a coupe C4's

not sure what you paid but there is big price difference stepping up from 3-9 to 4.5-14 - I don't mind the E1 in 3-9 for a value type scope but the C4 is fair more value in the 4.5-14's IMO.
 
I have the Fullfield 2 in 2-7x and 4.5-14x. They were $110 and $199 last year. The latter has decent picture quality, but it is quite picky with eye relief at max magnification. The 2-7x is excellent.
 
Had it out today , complete failure.

Windage turret turned 4-5 clicks either way from factory center then stopped, I turned a bit harder thinking there was lubricant or something just a bit stuck from final assembly but it did take a bit more twisting than I thought it should have but it did free up.

Was sighting in to do a ladder test , at 200 yards I was aiming 10 MOA(according to the reticle) right of the target and still hitting about 5 MOA to the left being fully adjust.

After messing around with this for a bit I decided to crank it all the way to the other extreme , going left , now I was many feet left of the target, so it did adjust but something is way out of place in the assembly.

It's going back , to Stoeger apparently.

First Burris I ever purchased.

**ADD - I put the rifle in the vise and installed the bore sighter to see what it did exactly.Couldn't get the adjustment any closer than 6" to center, cranked the adjustment to the stops, upon return turning it took almost a whole revolution for it to catch and start moving again, after two or three times of this it seemed to get worse yet.

A simple function test and tracking test at final QC would of prevented this from leaving the factory, someone didn't even test to see if the adjustment know turned.

Draw your own conclusions.

Thank you for the report, I was seriously considering purchasing that same scope but your report settles that. Probably look for another Leupold.
