goosedowner Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Anyone here have one and if so how do you like it? I just ordered one with the ballistic dot reticle (similar to vortex razor with the JM-1 reticle). I hope I made the right choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garmil Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Just looked at optics planet still not in stock. I've been waiting for months. It changes a little now and then but has said 14-21 days or something similar for many months now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepunishur Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I have a 1.5-8 as well. My only complaint is the weight. It adds almost 2 pounds to the rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It adds almost 2 pounds to the rifle. the Burris rep didn't believe me when I told him the 1.5 x 8 was 2 lbs. he had to fact check his own product? to clarify my quote on there earlier statement. I told him I needed the scope for a match in Oct. his quote was " they will be here before then, I don't have a shipping date yet" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My buddies new MTAC is only 14oz, and the reticle is decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi-Power Jack Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Isn't 65' FOV very narrow for a 1x scope? I seem to recall most 1x scopes in the 80 - 100' range ... ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAF1680 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 They are taking orders for the actual 1 x 8's but they should ship soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sschultz Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I order one of these thinking middle of sept wait would not kill me. The company I ordered thru was told by Burris that the 1-8 would not be available till November now. God I hate when companies do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sschultz Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I called Burris yesterday and spoke to a manager. The 1st 200 are due to be shipped from Japan on 08/29. The second 200 are due to be shipped from Japan in November. If you are in the 1st batch you might see them by the end of September. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garmil Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Spoke to optics planet today and they confirmed end of this month or early October. I am 3rd in line with them so should get one in the first batch they receive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
