Comparing Leupold and Burris Scopes - By: Joshua Belden

Leupold has always been known for producing high quality rifle scopes. Their newest models are a great testament to that, as they are improved even more. Some of the most recently added features include faster focusing ocular lenses, improved light transmission, and side-focus parallax adjustment. In addition, you have the option of implementing their new Ballistic Aiming System reticle. This item allows for windage correction if you're firing with windy conditions. You also will be impressed with the finger adjustable turrets which are super easy to use.

The latest Leupold rifle scope line also features different types of scopes for different types of targets. For instance, the Varmint Hunter reticle is designed specifically for hunting smaller animals. Conversely, if you prefer to hunt larger targets, they have the Boone & Crockett reticle, designed for medium and larger prey.

Many hunters are big fans of these new Leupold optics because the scopes are very easy to adjust by hand, with no tools necessary. Finally, if you are the type of person who likes to use larger magnification scopes, but hate having to mount them so high on your rifle, the Boone & Crockett reticle might be perfect for you. You can mount this scope close to the barrel of the rifle, while still maintaining bright images to provide better accuracy.

Burris Scopes might be more suitable for you if you prefer to hunt big game. The Burris Signature Select Ballistic Plex gives you bright, clear images, thanks to its internal surface being 65% biger than other scopes of comparable size. Burris Ballistic Plex scopes come with multi coated lenses, along with fast click and focus adjustments, making for easier usage in the field. Furthermore, they come with lifetime warranties. If you will be shooting in the woods and will be hiking a lot, this is a great option as it is lightweight and compact. Expect to spend about $175 for this medium range scope model.

Another compact Burris scope is the Rimfire News, which performs well even in freezing temperatures and wet conditions. This shows you how durable the scope is. For the long range shooters in the bunch, the Burris Black Diamond is known for super crisp resolution. This scope features adjustment dials that are finger adjustable as well. You can also use the side focus parallax adjustment.

And last but not least, the Burris field line of scopes are super accurate and have adjustable eyepieces. They perform well in the field and are highly dependable as well. So, depending on your shooting needs, one of these two brands will likely get the job done for you. Make sure you know what you're looking for and stick to your budget. You have so many options that it would be surprising to not find what you need to get your shooting done. Good luck and happy hunting.
