Nothing To Design

Focused exclusively in the premium categories, many premium features are common throughout the entire Burris offering:

Burris - An Innovative Company

The World's First and Only Fully Titanium Riflescope

Beyond the whole scope tube and eyepiece being made of solid titanium, each scope is coated with titanium nitride, titanium aluminum nitride, or chrome nitride, depending on the color. These nitrides are molecularly bonded to the titanium through high intensity physical vapor deposition for maximum adhesion that will not blister, flake, or chip.. The result is an ultra-hard corrosion proof surface.

The World's First and Only Scratch-Proof Lenses

We call them T-Plated™ Lenses on the Mr. T Titanium scope. These lenses do not come with the warning of other "scratch-resistant" coatings about removing all dust before cleaning. T-plated lenses do not require a "soft clean lens cloth." Ordinary dirt, dust, and grit won't bother them a bit.

Not only is T-Plate durable, but it is ultra-smooth also, which facilitates water beading and sheeting. Although it is not magical, it does make for a better sight picture when snow or rain insists on decorating your lenses.

Posi-Lock®Internally adjustable scopes have always relied on a spring to allow adjustment while holding the adjustments accurately. Burris uses two springs to double-up the force that keeps you on target. Thinking beyond this obvious tactic, we took it a step further and invented and patented the Posi-Lock system. Posi-Lock is a coil-spring-assisted retractable steel post that firmly, assuredly, locks your accuracy in place. After all, once you sight in you expect your scope to stay put. It's gratifying to hear back from so many customers that their Posi-Lock scope remains perfectly zeroed year to year. Premium riflescope companies, including Burris, often get fixated on optical quality -- as we should. However, some can lose sight of what it is that we are really after in a rifle scope, which is to aim. Below are three Burris innovations which help you do just that.

The World's Simplest Trajectory Compensating Reticle

The new Ballistic Plex reticle for Fullfield II riflescopes is a very clean and simple way to improve long range marksmanship. The lower crosshair incorporates small ballistic lines that compensate for bullet drop from 100 yards to 500 yards for most hunting cartridges. Simply sight-in at 100 or 200 yards, using the highest magnification. Determine the range to a more distant target and select the corresponding ballistic line. It is a lot easier, more accurate, and confidence-building than any alternative method of shooting long distances. Available on 3X-9X, 3.5X-10X, and 4.5X-14X Fullfield II scopes, and 3X-9X-40mm Signature Series scope.

Ballistic Plex for Handgun Scopes

The new Ballistic Plex reticle now is specially formulated to assist handgunners with their unique challenge associated with more lofty trajectories. Because of a much more complex set of variables for the huge range of handgun cartridges from the .223 to the .375 JDJ, and from 4" barrels to 16" barrels, space in this catalog can hardly begin to illustrate the myriad of methods to utilize this very handy feature. The charts at right illustrate two examples on opposite ends of the spectrum how the Ballistic Plex can facilitate maximum accuracy over the practical range of various cartridges. Many additional examples can be viewed at www.burrisoptics.com, or you can call or write to us to send you a comprehensive instruction set.

Long Range Can Be So Rewarding - And Possible with the Ballistic Mil-Dot™

The Ballistic Mil-Dot Reticle for higher magnification scopes is a combination of a standard Mil-Dot and a special Burris design on the lower vertical crosshair that automatically compensates for bullet drop. The Ballistic Mil-Dot is set to provide dead-on aiming from 100 yards to 600 yards (and possibly 700 yards) for many of today's flat shooting rifle cartridges. The other three Mil-Dot sections can be used to determine distance and help compensate for wind drift. The power ring has a calibration mark set at roughly 14 power which provides the trajectory compensation as shown in the table. Customization is possible by altering the magnification and making your own calibration mark. Available in 6.5X-20X Fullfield II, and 4X-16X, 6X-24X, 8X-32X Signature Series and Black Diamond Scopes.

The World's Finest Low Light Reticle - Electro-Dot®

Game animals spotted in low light or back-lit situations have always plagued riflescopes with black crosshairs. That is, until the debut of Burris Electro-Dot a few years ago. The challenge was to provide an electronically lit pinpoint aiming spot to the center of the crosshair without degrading the optical quality. Generally speaking, any light allowed into a scope other than the light comprising the field-of-view is bad light which degrades the optical image. Burris succeeded by "piping" a tiny amount of light to the center of the reticle via a fiber optic strand that is half the thickness of a piece of paper. The result is a durable and dependable riflescope which allows you to properly aim at any color target under any lighting conditions. Now that's a real advantage for the hunter who puts his heart and soul into his hunt.

Delivering Performance You can expect a lot more from a home-grown company that specializes in and participates in the shooting sports. Participation in and striving for the ultimate in-the-field and on-the-range experiences breeds innovation in the search for excellence. Below are a couple of additional inventions from Burris that take the shooter a bit further and allows a more enjoyable and affirming experience. The World's First and Only Internally Adjustable Diaphragm - Light Collector®

Burris adapted camera adjustable aperture control to provide light management benefits to riflescopes. We call it Light.

Collector ®.It allows maximum light in low light conditions, and can limit the light in bright daylight to enhance image sharpness, contrast, and depth of focus. It's available on 4X-16X, 6X-24X, and 8X-32X Signature Series
