Burris or Nikon
 

For a CVA Accura V2 - looking at the Nikon Omega 8443 or the Burris Fullfield II 2-7 X 32 APG.

Can someone point me to an objective review of either?

Try doing a search over at opticstalk.com. There should be quite a few opinions on both.

I hate it when I ask a question about product "A" versus "B" and someone goes and recommends product "C", but I am going to do it anyway, only because there is limited time to act. Consider looking at a Vortex Viper 2-7x32. For not much longer you can pick up one of these for around $170. Apparently Vortex is discontinuing the 2-7 Viper (but not the Viper line). The glass and build of the Viper compares favorably to the Nikon Monarch and Bushnell 4200 lines, meaning a significant step up from what you are considering, and for less money.

Not affiliated or anything. In fact, I picked up a 2-7 just before they slashed the prices. Bummed about not waiting a few months, but am very happy with the scope.

Of the two you mention, I have a Nikon Omega. Great Scope, great glass, great warranty, great eye relief (which is very important with muzzleloaders), and so far tough as nails.

I also like other scopes, but you can't go wrong with a Nikon.

I have two Nikon Omega scopes; I have had 40 or more scopes in my life and find the Nikon Omega to be the best for muzzle loaders. I have not had any Burris scopes so no comment on them.

Omega all the way.

i say the burris. i have many and like them all. one piece construction and lifetime warranty. I don't like the nikons, the field of view is narrow due to the long eye relief. also don't like the nikon bdc circles, burris has had that technology for years and they even give you a chart for different loads for their ballistic plex.

Of you two you suggested, I perfer the Nikon. It's a tough scope

I'd check out the Nikon Pro Staff personally. My brother in law mounted one on his wolf and its crystal clear.

I have the nikon omega and the pro staff. But don't over look the mueller scopes, I have 3 of them and they are great.

I have had a Nikon ucc scope on my ruger number 1 since they came out years ago. Still working great and good bright optics.

I have a Nikon Pro Staff, Bushnell Dusk to Dawn, Leupold Ultimate Slam ML Scope and a Cheap $40 Tasco, they all work Great, these are just on My MLers. None have ever let me down and the cost between them varys greatly.
For the Money the Bushnell is as good as the Leupold, but if I had to pick one it would be the Leupold.
But when it all comes down to it I've taken just as many Nice Deer with the $40 Tasco as I have with the Leupold.
You have to have a Nice Deer in sight first, then the scope is just help putting the finishing touches on it. No scope no matter how much better it is than the cheaper one will help you get the Buck of a Lifetime if he's not there in the crosshairs.

I have both of these scopes. Both of them are great. Buy the one you can save the most money on, and spend the rest on powder and bullets and go shoot the heck out of it!

Cant speak about the burris, but I have 4 nikon's and there all dandy's

I own both.Nikon on Omega and Burris on Ithaca deerslayer.both great scopes.Whichever you choose will be a good choice.

I've never used a Nikon Omega so I can't comment on it. However, I've used a Burris FFII in 3-9x40 and I love it. Great clarity and vivid colors in the daytime, and great in low light too.

I just went through this exercise of making this choice with my Accura V2. I ended up with the Nikon primarily because of the extra eye relief and the fact that the Omega is a 1.65 - 5.

At 1.65 I can clearly see an object 10 feet away. Just a tad bit clearer than a 2-7.

The extra eye relief is really nice. With 2-3 inches of relief you shouldn't get busted. With 5 inches you will not. I hate to admit to it - but it has happened to me twice. The first time was the first time on the range with my Knight many years ago. The second time, somehow I just forgot about it. I am not alone, it is a common problem. I went to the range 2 weeks ago. The kid next to me ended up with a goose egg between his eyes.

Had the Nikon on the range for the first time on Saturday. We had snow showers move through. When on the range snow was blowing and collecting on/in the front of the Nikon scope. Not a problem - crystal clear vision through the scope. Accuracy is as expected.

My Ruger 22 mag has a Burris mini on it. It is a nice scope. Always accurate. Both make good products.
