Burris Rifle Scopes
Burris bears the name of its founder, Don J. Burris, who formed the company back in 1971 after leaving Redfield. During 12 years of product design and management at Redfield, Burris had achieved some remarkable successes. He developed Redfield’s first constantly centered non-magnifying reticle, a feature that many shooters as well as hunters pretty much take for granted nowadays. Redfield’s Accu-Range scope, which saw use with both civilian hunters and Marine snipers in Vietnam, had Burris’s original design. He also managed to develop an internally adjustable target scope in order to replace the older designs with external adjustments like the Unertl.
Things started moving forward for Burris, and the company continued to make noteworthy rifle scopes and handgun optics introductions on a regular schedule. After spending much of his life devoted to improving sports optics, Don Burris passed away 20 years ago, in 1988. Despite the horrible loss, his company managed to prosper not to mention, expand. In 1991 the Burris Company entered the very aggressive, in terms of competition, spotting scope market by introducing three fixed-power models: the 20X 50mm, 24X 60mm, and the 30X 60mm. Later on that year, the company also introduced a scope for hunter-class benchrest competition that went on to be used to win the 1992 Nationals. In 1992 Burris expanded furthermore to offer a fully complete line of sports optics, and it introduced four brand new models of binoculars. The company followed this up by introducing the Posi-Lock the very next year.
This simple design eliminates backlash and binding adjustments from affecting the scope’s zero. One of the best reticles is the Ballistic Plex that was introduced in 2000. Simple in nature, it is designed in order to provide holdover marks for rapid engagement of targets at different distances without having to touch the elevation knob. In the past few years there has been a very noticeable move towards ever-lighter hunting rifles. And these in turn are often chambered for not only traditional hunting cartridges but also the new Short Magnums. The main result is a very light yet hard-hitting big game rifle. The Burris firm noted this trend and responded with the Short Mag line of rifle hunting scopes. These are designed for the main reasons to be very lightweight and also extremely short as well as compact.
The Burris firm made a huge splash at the 2005 S.H.O.T. Show in Las Vegas when the company announced that it would be introducing a brand new line of tactical scopes mid-year. Later on, these models became a huge success on the market and they are selling as we speak like hot cakes.
