I have a Burris Fullfield II and honestly I love it. Mine is also in 3x9x40mm. I'd for sure buy it again. So far it seems to hold up well and is very clear and also very good in low light. I like it a ton better than my Leupold VX-I I also have. It blows it away in clarity. $225 does sound high though as I paid $199 for mine on clearance from Dicks Sporting Goods. It also came with the free Gramin eTrex GPS. So $225 for just the scope doesn't sound like such a great price. I'd look for it online if you don't have any other good stores to shop at. Maybe check it out in the store and order online.
