Choices! Burris 8x32 or Leupold 8.5-25

groundhog devastation
Down to deciding on which one! I know there are lots of opinions but give it your best shot(which is the final goal of this) concerning your experiences with either. My leupold experiences have been good with no problems and my only Burris experiences have been on long range handguns and no problems there. But this one's going to cost either way so lay it on me!

    GHD, I'm buying a used Burris Black Diamond 8X32 from one of the forum members. Will let you know what I think once I try it. He also has another one up for grabs the last I knew. Used but not abused and only $375

    I just got a Vari-x III. Compared the view with my current Vari-x IIc and found a difference in brighness of colors. Otherwise, both were sharp and clean. I like those scopes! But.... you really can't go wrong with either a Burris or Leupold.

    Flip a coin in the air and call it. Both are great scopes. I like leupold myself.

    OK My Friend,...I'm in.

    I suppose we are talking 8.5-25x50 LR VS Black Diamond 8-32x50MM?

    If so, I say LR, but wait for the LR M1 TACT to hit the market. It has the Turrets from the MK IV, which are much nicer than the standard target knobs. I will take a Burris signature over a vari-x III any day,..But the LR series is a bit diffferent. The Burris black diamond SF, ( side focus) is supposd to be out this year, but I havn't seen it. The M1 tact series leupy, is a hard core piece fo equipment!!! 30mm tube, M1 turrets, MK IV innards.............

    SWFA, Bearbasin, and Premier reticles are saying "end of March" on the LR M1 Tact. Why hold over,....when you can click to it?

    I love my Burris scopes,..but this time, I gotta go Leupy

    I'm a man,....but I can change,.....If I have to,......I guess.

    The gold ring is the way 2 go, i own 6 of them and would not even consider changing. Burris is also very good but ask burris if they will fix you scope for free if you mess it up,they wont--leupold will.

    I'd take the Leupold every day! I've had many and never had ANY problem with them. In fact, they are one of the few scopes I've been able to put on, use, and then take it off years later and they often don't have any rings marks, especially on the matte ones.
    I am trying to save for a LPS for my Sendero...

    It doesn't matter what you shoot, just shoot it well...

    GHD: My vote would have to go to the Burris at this time. I have both brands of scopes but I'm only buying Burris now. Call Ronnie and let him bend your ear on the Horus scope. A fantastic piece of glass and very versatile.
