Rifle Scopes Burris Fullfield vs Super Sniper

[james24]

Burris Fullfield 4.5-14.42 vs the Super Sniper 10-42. Which one would most prefer. The scope will go on a 308 that is mostly used for deer hunting but i will take a long shot if i have to. I can get the Burris new for 257 where the Super Sniper is 319.

Can some guys give me some feedback. And does anyone know if there was any recent problems with Wotac 4-14-50? Thats my other option. I have 1 inch mounts as of now also

For hunting, I would go with a 3-9 power Burris. You might find 4.5 to be too much on the low end, how bad do you think 10x is going to be?

I have the Burris on a 30-06 and it is excellent. Does a great job. I can dial the power up or down as needed for short or long shots. The 4.5 power setting isn't alot more than the 3 on another kind of scope like the SS. I can't really comment on the SS as I have never owned one. But I have heard good reports on them though.

I think you will be in some situations where the SS will annoy you. If you are hunting in forested or dense areas. you will want the lower settings of a hunting scope.

Re: Burris Fullfield vs Super Sniper

Now question for u guys. I have a nikon buckmaster 4.5+14-40. Would I be better off on getting a burris for longer shots since it has the bdc reticle or keeping mine??

Re: Burris Fullfield vs Super Sniper

I have both and I like the Burris slightly better for two reasons, its slightly brighter than the SS and the eye relief is shorter. with the SS I have, it has more eye relief than I like, but it is still a very clear and bright scope, just harder for me to get used to.

The Fullfield is of course more useful being a variable, and Burris glass is notable as being very good.However it's no way in the same league as the SS as far as durability,adjustment range, optic clarity.For hunting I'd say the Fullfield is the better choics however.

I would go with the Burris as well on a pure hunting rifle.
