There are lots of fake high end Leupolds out there too. I got stuck with a couple a while back.


I have nothing clever to put here.

I have a few Burris fullfield II 4.5 x 14 scopes that have served me well. One is on my 7mm STW so they handle recoil pretty well. You can get them reasonably priced now.

you want to think there is justice in this world but mostly there is not.

if there were there wouldn't be a ridiculously big industry of scamming people , especially old people there are multiple times daily scam calls for Medicare supplements promising all sorts of things.

if they would get shut down and everyone involved prosecuted and placed in prison it might slow down or stop but , countries are places with defined borders and laws that are enforced and our digital borders are wide open.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I have a 3x9 with ballistic plex i have had for decades. its been on several guns over the years but on my daughters 7mm-08 the last 24. Its beat up scope caps on windage and elevation adjustment have a lot of silver.

the full field 2 is my go 2 when I want a motree affordable scope. They have a good warranty as well and out of 3 scopes I had to use it once. Had a scope through decided to not adjust as it should and not hold zero.

Called them they gave me ship instructions. In 4 days I had a new in box scope at the house. I should not have ever had the problem but they did Handel it fast.

I did get one of their new Eo1? scopes it lives on my 13 year Olds.22. it works but I prefer the full field 2. Then I step up to Leopold .

I'll bet you're very happy with it. They have great eye relief and clear glass. I like them as well as the Leupold scopes I have. You'll likely never turn it up above a 6X for actually hunting, but it's nice to know it'll go to 12X if you need to thread a needle way out there.

Yeah! And if I don't ever use 12x for deer hunting, I'm sure it'll come in handy at some point maybe for popping woodchucks
