It also comes supplied with several optional customizable attachments, including the FastFire and 30x eyepiece, but we’ll talk more about them below.
Manufacturer’s specs and details
The full list of Burris Signature HD Spotting Scope manufacturer specs is the following:
Some of the most notable benefits Burris’s signature HD spotting scope brings to the table is its great price to value ratio, superb optics, durable construction, and various accessories it comes with.
Great price-to-value ratio
Even though the Burris HD signature spotting scope does come at a high cost, its value for the money is tremendous. After all, this is a boutique level spotting scope model that boasts a level of performance that can’t even begin to compare to similarly priced models.
Superb optics
One of the main reasons why the model offers a well-rounded performance is because of its superb optics.
The magnification range span of 20x to 60x makes it ideal for basically all purposes and its built-in sunshade significantly reduces the amount of glare while protecting the lens from harsh weather (like rain or snow). You will be able to dial in on your target on the fly with fine-tuning focusing adjustments, or you could take your time and use the coarse focusing adjustment to substantially boost the accuracy of your scope.
On top of that, it also features the FastFire attachment. The FastFire accessory adds a red dot to your sights, allowing you to use it without even having to tune it in certain situations. This little gadget allows you to rapidly acquire your targets.
Durable construction
The Burris HD signature spotting scope packs a lightweight frame made of die-cast magnesium material. It weighs only 4.2 pounds and it’s certainly one of the most lightweight spotting scopes in its price range.
Furthermore, the design of Burris’ HD signature spotting scope is both fogproof and waterproof, making it perfectly suited for use in all weather conditions.
Designed for comfortable use
Though this scope isn’t the most compact model available, the manufacturer, in order to address this drawback, includes a complimentary neoprene case that is easy to carry. Its angled design allows it to be mounted on tripods with ease, allowing you to use it from various positions (upright, prone, mounted, or in a vehicle).
Even though there are millions of things you’ll love about the Burris HD signature spotting scope, there are a couple of drawbacks that you should be aware of.
Not available for purchase directly from the manufacturer
Sadly, the only way to get your hands on this magnificent scope is to find a certified dealer; it isn’t available for purchase straight from Burris. Of course, the brand has declared an official price and introduced a neat little option to “find a dealer” in the United States, but unless you are in America you will need to pay the shipping price as well.
Furthermore, the retail price varies from dealer to dealer, which means that you will have to search around for the best deal.
Big, bulky, and unwieldy without the carry case
One of the biggest drawbacks of this scope is its size. Namely, unless you have a huge backpack, you will need to leave some things behind as it will take up a good chunk of your storage space. Of course, it is practically not an issue if you’re using it with its neoprene case
In all honesty, Burris’s HD spotting scope isn’t really meant for beginners and enthusiasts simply because it costs too much for comfort. However, if you’ve been looking around for a considerable upgrade, it doesn’t get much better than this.
This boutique spotting scope has exquisite optics with the instant-lock RapidFire attachment and numerous tuning options. It’s built like a brick wall, and it’s surprisingly light considering its size.
Overall, the benefits Burris scope offers far outweigh the few drawbacks. Start saving up some cash if you are looking for one of the best spotting scopes under 200 bucks. Stay safe, folks!
