Burris Optics Marks Golden Anniversary with Next-Generation Fullfield Riflescope
Nick Miles | Mar 13, 2025
In celebration of its 50th year in the optics industry, Burris Optics has launched a completely redesigned fifth-generation Fullfield riflescope lineup. This latest iteration honors the series' reputation for exceptional optical clarity and generous field of view—qualities that have made Fullfield scopes a favorite among hunting enthusiasts for decades—while introducing contemporary features and cutting-edge technologies, including the innovative Burris Knob Synergy System.
The new Fullfield optics boast a more compact profile and reduced weight compared to previous models, helping to minimize shooter fatigue during extended hunting expeditions while improving overall balance and handling in the field. These fifth-generation scopes feature a contemporary design aesthetic and improved ergonomics, with high-relief knurling on both the magnification ring and adjustment turrets that provides enhanced grip and smooth, precise operation.
Recognizing that superior optical performance and light transmission are fundamental requirements for serious hunters, the redesigned Fullfield delivers exceptional clarity through its multi-coated lenses and premium glass elements, housed within a one-inch tube. According to Burris, these enhancements reduce glare while maximizing visibility in challenging low-light conditions. The company states that this latest evolution of the Fullfield line offers shooters a sharp downrange view with improved color reproduction and contrast—critical factors for target identification across all lighting environments.
The Fullfield scopes utilize a rear focal plane configuration, with the new generation offering multiple reticle options to accommodate different shooting styles and preferences. Available reticle designs include a traditional Plex-style duplex pattern, sophisticated ballistic options such as the Burris Ballistic E3, and illuminated reticle variants for enhanced visibility.
A groundbreaking feature debuting on the Fullfield series is the Knob Synergy System, allowing shooters to personalize their control interface by switching between zero-click stop-enabled Advanced Capped and Advanced Exposed elevation turrets. For shooters seeking even greater precision, Burris offers custom laser-engraved ballistic turrets for all Fullfield models, tailored specifically to match individual ammunition and geographic considerations.
The fifth-generation Fullfield lineup will debut with six magnification ranges across 15 distinct models, ensuring appropriate power and reticle combinations for both domestic and international markets:
- 2-8x35mm
- 2.5-10x42mm
- 3-12x42mm
- 3-12x56mm
- 4-16x50mm
- 6-24x50mm
These new Fullfield scopes continue the brand's tradition of delivering industry-leading features and performance, providing hunters with dependable precision in challenging field conditions. Depending on the specific model, retail prices range from $192 to $600.
