Scored a new Hoggin' scope

[FOTIS]

Well I finally found what I think is a great low light scope. Whatcha think?
Burris 1.5-6x40 #4 30mm Euro Diamond Rifle scope

I've handled a few Burris scopes, but never shot with one. The power and tube seems appropriate for low light shooting, however. I'll be interested to hear how it works for you.

I hope you like it better than I like mine... a 2-7x Fullfield I have on my Whelen. I couldn't tell you what it is I don't like about it, but I will replace it at some point. But it a completely different model in the Burris line.

 

[FOTIS]

Yes they are night and day.

Congratulations on the new hog scope.

Thank you Jim. I figure the 40mm objective and the 30mm tube will allow more light in. And I do so love the German #4! 8)

Jeez, Pop, I'm sorry. I let my personal feelings about Burris affect my comments. Congrats on the new glass! Now get back to Texas and slay some pork!

 

[FOTIS]

I wish I could leave now!

That is a nice scope Pop. Looks like it would be right at home on the 358WIN. Scotty

I have handled a couple of the Black Diamond scopes, and found them to be impressive. I have not, however, had a Euro Diamond in my hands. I would think that with the 30 mm tube, they would be a pretty good scope. Did you consider the E-Dot reticle, Fotis? For night hogging, I would think that would be helpful. I have been impressed in recent years by the electronics available on many scopes? Scotty, that wouldn't look good at all on your BLR! :lol:

 

[SJB358]

I have a Burris FFII 2x7 on it right now, and it is a very decent scope for an inexpensive optic. It tracks well and seems to work decent with the 358. Scotty

 

[jmad_81]

Sure looks like it would do the trick, I like it!

 

[BK]

It's been five days, where is the picture of the scope mounted up?

 

[Powerstroke]

I'm more curious to know when we'll know how well it worked? When's the next trip planned ?

 

[FOTIS]

Coming today actually. But the rifle she is getting is not here yet. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

 

[FOTIS]

Very impressed with the clarity and the light transmition!

 

[JD338]

What are you going to mount the hog scope on?
