Burris Fullfield II 3-9X Tactical
This Scope Is Just At Home On A Hunting Rifle

The Fullfield II Tactical is mounted in Burris Signature rings featuring a plastic insert. The inserts
anchor the scope without marring and allow you to precisely align the scope with the bore.

According to some hunters a scope must cost at least $1,000 or it just won’t do for hunting white-tailed deer at 100 yards, much less the grand distances some big game animals are apparently shot at these days. Supposedly “affordable” scopes don’t provide the toughness, optical quality or adjustment repeatability required by modern hunting.

In my experience, one of the consistent contradictions to that contention is the Burris Fullfield II. These scopes have been providing fine service on several of my hunting rifles for years now.

Fullfield II’s used to be made in Burris’s Colorado factory, but a few years ago Burris started making them in the Philippines. Please note “making.” Burris did not outsource the manufacturing to a Pacific Rim “vendor,” the common euphemism for getting optics made by another company, but provided the actual tooling and training for making the same Fullfield IIs once made here. The result? I’ve run several Fullfield II’s from both Colorado and the Philippines through extensive tests and, if anything, the overseas models are little better.
