Burris Euro Diamond 1-4xx24 Scope Review

[Slim Whitman]

Hello everyone -

Well after waiting for someone to buy one of these scopes and giving a report, I decided to take the plunge -

Check out my evaluation on AR15.com -

Thanks for the review it answers the questions most want to know. The switch for the reticle illumination is similar to the Eotech system. They work very well and hold up.

You are welcome -

This is my first low powered variable. As I wrote in the review, when objects are viewed fairly close up (under seven or eight yards) there does seem to be some slight magnification. I wonder if other variables in this range have the same problem. But anything viewed beyond that distance seems to be at 1x.

Another odd characteristic of this scope is that it gives a 'bubble'-like view through the scope around the edges of the sight picture, if that makes any sense. I don't know if this specific to this optic or the magnification range - I know getting a true 1x in a scope is not the easiest thing, or so I have read.

I am still deciding if I lke the optic, so I have not mounted it yet -

Thanks for the review. According to those pics posted in the AR15.com thread the dot is NOT bright at all.

Bummer.

The dot is adjustable for intensity, but it is not visible in dayling outdoors - but inside, the dot is bright -
