Default RE: Cabela's Alaskan Guide Scopes--who make's 'em?

Burris, man are you crazy or what.[8D][8D] I had my last burris. Customer service blows. [:@] The scope has very little eye relief and not near what they claim. And any scope you have to set a screw to lock in the rectiles, you ought to be leary about.

Just got rid of my 6-20 signature, and it had like 21MOA verticle adjustment. And for me to get it mounted on my 300RUM to get the 8MOA I need to shoot 600yards, I had to buy those signature series rings, and screw around with them and a collimator for a few hours. Finally got it on the gun, and performed the Box test. You know where you shoot a group, raise the elevation up 6MOA and to the left 6MOA, and down 12MOA, then to the right 12MOA, so on and so on to see if number one it makes a perfect box, two, returns to zero. Well guess what it doesn't.

Heck, I thought it was just my scope. So I talked my buddy into getting a 30MM Black diamond to put on his tactical rifle that Cabelas had a clearance on. While adjusting, it moved 2MOA instead of .5MOA. Sent it back and they said they found and fixed the problem. Still wouldn't move elevation and windage smoothly. We both put them on ebay, and put the loopys back on. Even with them, little dissatisfyed. So now only bying the conquest.

So how do youkno they are clearer? Do you have a back reflection setup in your lab? Optical loss meter. I do. Or this personal opinion.
