Burris vs vortex

Burris are great value and the warranty with them has been easy when I needed it. I prefer the older Fullfield II to the newer IV line as on full magnification at 100 yards, I found the crosshairs against the target clarity/focus not as good as the FF II to my old eyes. YMMV. FF II 3-9x40 vs FF IV 2.5-10x42.

Yeah, at full mag you really need to get your relief and eye posish just right. I have two 2.5-10x scopes.

However, I generally never set them beyond 6-7, so that's not a problem as much. I do like the lower low mag setting though.
 
Bought vortex in the past ( all PST gen 2 scopes) and had to send them back and sent the replacement scopes back. I wouldnt buy another one. Have a new burris fullfield, so far Im happy with it.

Thanks for all the replies so far. Keep them coming. I was leaning towards the Burris and currently have a set if Browning xlock rings. Going on a 6.5 creedmoor. Was hoping it would fit as I've never been a fan of the rail system.

The Xlocks are made by Talley. They will work fine on a 6.5 creed. Cheaper to buy Talley rings BTW I shoot short action magnums with Talley/Browning mounts at .277" zero issues with heavy for caliber (up to 175 grain) with velocities over 3100fps. As far as Burris or Vortex my vote would be Burris but it's just pure opinion. Cheers. Buy the best glass you can afford in my humble opinion. I have a Nikon prostaff on my rimfire. It's really good glass for the money but no longer supported by the manufacturer.
 
I’ve got a Burris Sig HD 3-15, thought it crapped out this week. Turns out a loose base screw almost ruined my feelings towards this scope. I really like Burris scopes, very clear and dependable
