burris fullfieldII on a 300 weatherby mag

[6.5x55swm]

would this scope stay together on 300 WBY mag?

My friend has one on a A7 in 300 win mag. No issues.
Good scope for the money

I dont know why it wouldnt.
Does it not come with a lifetime guarantee?
They are a heavy scope iirc from past handling of them.

I have one on a .338 win mag.....but everyone here dislikes that round...

Good value scope and no complaints here.

Owning a 300 Wby. Magnum is like owning a Harley.
One has to pay the Weatherby tax every time the take it out to shoot it.
But, they soon forget about that tax after the tags are cut.

You may want to consider something with slightly more eye relief.

375hh brass are not that expensive ...

They're a bit heavier than a comparable Leupold. I believe that the lenses are thicker so there is always a potential of increased inertia during recoil but to be honest I have a Fullfield and a Signature and they're solid scopes I really like them

I just finished mounting one on a 338 rcm. I too question it's reliability, but have read a lot of solid reviews on them.

A friend shook one up on a 338 Win Mag. Warranty was good, but a bit slow. D.

i may be making trade for a leupold Vx 2, that should last awhile on a 300 wby mag

Good point Freezer Filler. Eye relief is a serious consideration on any rifle chambered for a round with a serious reverse gear. Folks call that cute little arch over a shooters' brow 'Weatherby Eyebrow' for a reason.
I recall a chap who brought me a 300 Weatherby to sight in for him. It wore a cheaper model Tasco 3-9 to which he'd added a huge gob of masking tape wound around the eyepiece as a buffer. His brow was still bleeding when he handed the rig over for me to sight for him. Three or three and a half inches of eye relief are not enough for most shooters of magnum rifles. Don't forget that on many variable scopes eye relief diminishes as you wind the power up.

Have a Hensoldt 1.5-6 on mine. Lasted over 50 years so far. They're not kidding about the eye relief though. I've never been bit, but a couple of friends who wanted to try it out have. - dan

Had one on a 375 Ruger, no issues.

might be cheaper to put a muzzle brake on it, sounds like it would be safer lol
