Burris Blk Diam. 8-32x -- Anybody Tried One?

[Riverine]

I'm looking to go with a higher power scope. I read the scope tests on this site, and I'm intrigued with the new Burris Black Diamond 8-32x. But I don't know anybody that's using one yet.

Price is right, that's for sure, $619. It looks like the only shortcoming is that it only has 39 moa of elevation, a LOT less than the Leupold LRTs.

Anybody tried this scope yet? What do you think?

I don`t have the new one with the side parallax adj but have an older one with the bal mil reticle and love it. The only thing about it that I don't like is that it is a very large scope..Optics are second to none. A little pricy but what the hey...

They are limited, but using the Ballistic MilDot you can get around that for ranges out to 700yds and farther if you have worked out your up adjustments. That is enough for me.
The Ballistic MilDot has the aiming points at 100-200-300-400-500-600-700 for the 22-250 trajectory using a 55gr Ballistic silver tip at 3680fps, 3000 foot altitude, 59 degrees, and barometric pressure of 29.53. It is only 1" off at 300 and 400yards. Minor click adjustments can get this and a lot of different calibers to work just fine, or change the ranges to match your load: 100yds, 185, 250, etc....

I have had,3) 6x24x50 1 I ordered from midway it came in an 8x32x50 box I sent it back. The second had parallax at 125 yards and would not adjust out using the side parallax adjustment. The third was unclear at 100 yards, I sent it back to Burris and they repaired it, it was real clear at 100 yards unfortunately it was unclear at 300 yards. I sent it back to midway to get my money back. I have a 3x9x32 hand gun scope it is 18 months old and has been back to Burris 3 times. That’s it for me and Burris.
