Well that sucks. However, you had a single scope bad experience. I've had a bad meal at places I've given second chances and had great meals to date. I've owned 20 some Burris scopes over the past 20yrs and my Fullfields have been the stalwarts. Have 3 presently. They're all pushing 14yrs old. I stopped pre hunt zeroing them. Just wasting ammo on rock solid POI. I'm still blown away at my $110 2-7X32 FFII. I will always recommend Burris for scopes under $300.It appears that Burris has improved in the last few years. However, I had a Full Field back in my Wyoming days and that thing would not keep its zero. I sent it in and got it returned with a note stating all was fine. It was not fine, still would not keep its zero. Haven't had a Burris since. What hurts the most, is that scope was on my elk rifle and was the reason I missed a nice 6 point bull at about 75 yards. Left the mountain went straight to the gun range and I was not even on paper at 100 yds. OK. Enough crocodile tears!
I won't buy FFIIs for other than single shot guns though. The power ring is the ocular and they barely move in cold weather. If you put a rear scope cap on them, the lid rotates around and gets in the way of something. Bolt, stock, etc.
My warranty experiences with Burris was nothing but exceptional. They replaced a scope I trashed in a vehicle accident. I thought that was a testament to their no questions asked policy. I also sent in a FFII where I thought the glass/objective wasn't perfectly aligned. They fixed it I think. I might have been too picky. Just FYI.
