I agree with the last statement. I was hoping that they woould suggest it might be defective. I will do some more checking and make sure I am not just seeing things........then send it to them.......
thanks |

Here is the response I got back from Burris today.
Which I personally think is a load of BS. Apparently an elevation knob that requires pliers to move initially is perfectly fine? I will thoroughly clean the muzzleloader this week and see what happens for the first few shots. If they do not group, I will go back to iron sights and send the scope in. |

I also purchased a new Fullfield II 3 x 9 for my new T/C Omega last September. I was enticed by the free Landmark binocular for my boys (I Have 3, all 10 and under) and the recommedation from the clerk at my local Gander Mtn store. During my sight in session I found I could not hold a group. I called Thompson and they thought the crosshairs were "jumping". I returned the Scope to Gander for a new Fullfield but did not get it sighted in. I later shot a buck with the Omega open sights later in December confirming that the rifle was fine. I attempted to get this new Fullfield sighted in in September of this year and found that it acted the same as the previous defective scope. I called Gander Mtn and they were nice enough to exchange this scope for me, even after 1 year. This time I was going to be smart in my desicion and I chose the Nikon Omega since I have had good luck with their Monarch in the past. I sighted this new scope in recently firing only 14 shots and my last 5 of those were grouped into a 2.75 inch circle. Needless to say Nikon has my business now and in the future. Eliminate the headache and stay away from the Burris Fullfield II.

00buck, You're experience seems different than the majority of FFII users. I have one on a Tikka T3 300WSM. You may note this rifle weighs approx 6.5lbs. 300WSM is a pretty intense round. I have apprx 100 rounds thru this rifle and the scope has never needed any sort of adjustment and shoots MOA with everything I feed it. Don't condemn the scope based on your experience. I have the same scope on a Tikka 7mm-08. Same experience. I would easily buy another. |

I don't know a whole lot about this, but wouldn't a muzzleloader have a
different kind of recoil than a rifle that would be causing the
fulfield II to do goofy things?

When I called Thompson in regards to this matter they suggested that the recoil from a muzzleloader is different in that it kicks up into the scope. Burris, however, said the scope should work on any firearm including muzzleloaders. Perhaps Burris misrepresents this scope to the extent that it will work well on all firearms when in fact it doesn't.

I managed to try the muzzleloader again this past weekend. The groups seemed ok, but not as good as I remember with iron sights. I will leave the scope on for the hunting season and maybe experiment with it next year. I'm still not impressed with the adjustments though, they are extremely difficult to move using fingers.
