Has anyone had any experience with Burris Signature variable scopes with the lighted reticle? How do they compare with the regular ones without that feature?

  A scope has actually 2 tubes, one inside the other. The internal tube houses your optical pieces. The outside (main) tube, is the tube which holds the turrets with your elevation and windage adjustments. These turrets have a geared adjustment system, that is under pressure by way of a spring loaded tension under each one. That spring is what holds the constant pressure on the internal tube, which is supposed to not allow the internal tube to move under recoil. That would be what would be referred to as not shifting POI or losing zero.
  
  Now, notice the location of the posi-lock turret. It disects the remaining 75% of the space which is not held by the elevation and windage turret. By coming in at that angle, with another steel post, that actually locks down the pressure on the internal tube from a third angle. Now your internal tube has 3 pressure points instead of just 2. This is designed to help your scope hold POI under heavy recoil, and any bumps it may take during your hunting trip.
  
  I have that scope on a 7mm mag, which is regularly used for crop damage permits,and has NOT shifted point of impact in 3 yrs. Great piece of glass.
  
  I'm a man,....but I can change,.....If I have to,......I guess.

  Well, JustC did not leave much for anyone else to say except Burris scopes are very good quality, rivaling Leupold. Likely, if you contact Burris they will send you an owners manual.
