Good day,
I want to qualify before I begin this review, I am not an expert in glass technology, and I acknowledge I have lots to learn about terminology and features as i continue on my path as an avid outdoors person who enjoys hunting.
Yesterday i received a new to market for 2020 Burris Fullfield IV 4x16x50 1" scope which I plan on mounting on a new Sako A7 270 WSM i recently purchased.
As a point of reference, I currently own Leupold VH5HD's, Zeiss Conquests V4's, Nikon Monarch's, Vortex Razor LHT, and a number of entry level scopes in multiple brands which I use all explicitly for hunting purposes. As I currently prefer the illumination features on a hunting scope, I could not resist ordering a value priced riflescope to compare.
Last evening I decided to go outside 15 mins before dusk to glass some Deer eating in the alfalfa fields behind my house. At 200 yards i was pleasantly surprised with the brightness and clarity of the glass. I did notice some blur around the outer edge of the glass, but I had to look for it, and it did not impede the images I was focusing on. I was able to discern noticeable colour differences on the fur of 2 does eating. The magnification dial as with other Burris scopes I have used in the past, is a little stiff to turn. Throughout the magnification I was impressed with the eye relief and found the scope easy to get behind. New in the fullfield line this year are changes to the design of the Magnification ring, which has a more aggressive design to allow better grip especially if you are outside and using gloves. I appreciated that new design even with bare hands.
The parallax dial is beside the illimunation control similar to the Zeiss Conquest V4. There are no numeric values on the parallax dial as well.
Turrets are audible and distinguished, however, this model does not come with a zero stop.
The scope weighs 21 0z.
For me the most impressive feature of this scope which I paid around $600 for, is the quality of the illumination reticle, and controls. Similar to the Zeiss again, the illuminated reticle is turned off/on by turning the dial which is marked with settings from 1-11 with 1 being the dimmest. In between each number setting is a neutral spot which allows the user to simply dial one click to shut off. I prefer this design feature over the Leupold and Vortex scope I have.
My only gripe, Burris does not supply lens covers with this model scope.
Overall, I am extremely impressed with the entire quality of this riflescope. The value is simply amazing.
I have attached some pics!
