Default RE: Opinions on Burris Scopes

I am the newest of the newbies on this site and am very impressed with the knowledge here. I have had a Burris Signature on my Weatherby 300 mag for 13 years. This scope gives me fits, the “0” moves and the eye relief is not enough to keep from getting hit. Now I have loose parts inside and am going to replace it with a Sightron. My 22/250 sports a sightron and it is clearer and brighter and half the cost of the Burris.

Boy I would like to see a Sightron anything beat out any scope other than cheap Japanese low end scopes in brightness... Complaining about eye relief shooting a 300 Weatherby, your only answer is a Leupold.
1/2 the price of a Burris for a Sightron where are you buying your scopes?

Seems like Burris is getting bashed around pretty good...I have had a grand total of five of them and currently own just one a 3.5x10x50 FFII...I am very pleased with the current one and prior to buying it looked at a Leupold VX-II in 3x9x50 ...as far as I could tell resolution wise the Burris is better and brighter...no problems zeroing it or any of the other complaints lodged here. This is my second FF II though and the previous one (bought when first introduced) had to be returned and had a CS nightmare with them but since its been back has not been a problem(gave it to my brother inlaw) it was mounted on a 300 win mag with a muzzlebreak and now its on a 06 and appears to be very happy. All the other Signatures I owned had no problem. In general I think they are a quality scope but they seem to have patchy QA and CS...they have been bought out by Beretta and hopefully they will straighten them out.
