Did they offer an explanation for why they sent you a Droptine rather than FFII?
I could maybe understand if the lines were totally equivalent and maybe you had a FFII config they no longer offer, but they have the same equivalent scope in the Droptine series. Or, if they'd discontinued the FFII series altogether. However, they still offer FFII scopes, and it appears they offer the same general power ranges in both series. And, it also appears the Droptine series is intended to be a slightly lower line than the FFII, though I've not seen any of these scopes. So, from where I sit in the cheap seats, this makes no sense. I think I'd be raising some *&$! with Burris and insist they honor their "Forever Warranty" they advertise and replace your scope with exactly what you had. Remind them that Leupold would do it, and if they aren't interested in keeping up with their main competitor by honoring their promise to the customer, you'll remember that on your next scope purchase. |

The only "forever" about Burris, is the time in which it takes to answer calls/emails.....I'm like at 3 years now...and counting.

I have had terrible luck with every Burris product I have bought with
the sole exception of a fixed one power scope that is no longer made. I
found their top of the line pistol scope to be particularly
disappointing with very limited eye relief and unusable with anything
that has much recoil.
This Scope SUCKS.

I wonder if Burris knows about this thread?

Here you go, call them and ask to speak to John McCarty, if not available start down the list. If none areavailable, write John a letter to the Greeley address and see what happens. Never give up!

Too late....I'm done with Burris. Secret phone numbers, (IOR) and no responses to calls or emails is enough proof for me.
Out.

I would definitely call them and tell them you want a FFII since that is what you sent them.
I have dealt with Burris a time or two and they treated me really well and quickly. Other have had poor experiences.

+1 what helo18 said, never had a bit of trouble from my FF II's but things happen. Never needed their CS but have called them to ask questions and always got a response. I hope they square up with you and make it right.

Looking at the specs, the scopes are identical. On paper, the only difference between the 2-7x scopes that stands out is the Droptine's paralllax is set for either 50 yds (.22) or 75 yds (slug). Price difference too. I would really like to know the thinking of why they would replace your FFII with a scope that serves a different purpose.
