RE: Burris - Signature Select Scopes
I had really wanted to check one out against a Zeiss Conquest, Nikon Monarch, VXIII, and a Bushnell Elite 4200. However, my local store didn't have them, so I tried the FFII: it wasn't in the same league (butit did seem to be adamned fine scope for the $$$).
If you can find one to test against other scopes in which you're interested,go ahead & throw it into the lineup. I don't think the quality or durability would take a back seat to any in its price range. Let your eyes be the judge.

RE: Burris - Signature Select Scopes
I purchased one several months ago. I ended up returning it for an exchange. There was nothing major wrong with it. Optically it was very good. It just seemed too big and blocky for the rifle I had mounted it on. Randy Wakeman from Guns and Shooting Online likes these scopes alot-FWIW. I'd stick with Zeiss Conquests, 4200 Elites or Leuppys.

I had one, good scope but switched to a Conquest andhaven'tlooked back. Personally think for the money thereare better choices (at least what they fetch up here(new) typically).

Yes I've heard good reports about Zeiss, but personally I would rather get something American made.

The Conquest is about as American as Lupy's are.

RE: Burris - Signature Select Scopes
Yes, you guys were right. I purchased the Burris Signature Select on line, and when it arrived I didn't like it at all. The rings that adjust the zoom were so tight I could hardly turn it. I compared the optics to a $129.00 Nikon Pro-Staff that I have on a shotgun, and the Nikon was clearer and crisper. I went ahead and returned it and ordered the Zeiss Conquest. I seem to have to always learn things the hard way. I guess that's why I am still a fawn on this forum.
