In my experience, I have found Burris to one of the least reliable and durable scopes on the market except for the really cheap (Tasco, Simmons, etc.) brands. I have seen more than one Burris go bad on rough country hunts, but they may be just fine for whitetail hunting.
I have a couple of them in a drawer somewhere that I don't trust enough to put back onto any of the rifles. These are older models, and surely Burris now makes them better (I hope).
The scopes that I have seen fail were all top end priced variable power models, maybe the fixed powers models are much tougher.
