woodshed Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I'm in need for a scope for my TC Omega. I like the Nikon Omega. The Burris Fullfield ll and the Omega are similar in price. I know somebody that will sell me a burris for 50 bucks and I like that price. How do you all feel about these scopes? Is the BDC reticle used by you? Does it make a difference for you and do you recommend this reticle? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotashRLS Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Burris would be a heck of a scope for $50. I'd jump on it. 3-9 power I suspect? Know you ML ballistics and you'll be golden! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodshed Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Yes, he has the BDC reticle and it has the charts for all different types of ammo. Of course a 50 cal with 250 grain bullets is in there so you know which yardage corresponds with each mark on the reticle. It's 3X9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKYhunter Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I'd get the Nikon. Nikon is a better product imho. I'd get the Omega and not look back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Have a burris fullfield II with the bplex reticles on my AR15 varmint rifle, the scope had been on my .270, never used the graduated reticles. I like the scope ok, but it is not as bright as the nikon monarch or the nikon buckmasters scopes. Nikon glass in my experience is sharper and brighter than burris. Unless you are planning on taking shots well beyond 150, the bdc really in my opinion is probably not needed. Even then you will have to match your shooting to the graduated lines or reticles to know exactly where they are with your gun. Have a bushnell sportsman scope on my TC black diamond. While it is a pretty cheap scope, it has been great, and shooting the loads I am shooting I would not hesitate to take a shot on a deer at 150 yards. Matter of fact I shot one this past fall near 150 yards out, holding dead on the crease behind the shoulder, and that was exactly where I hit. Confident enough in my setup that if the conditions were all right, I would possibly shoot out to 200 with it with the scope that it on it. Think if it were me, I would probably get a nikon scope, buckmasters or monarch for the muzzleloader, whichever fits your budget, however the burris at $50 I would not pass up either so long as it is ok.

woodshed Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Wtnhunt, I have a monarch on my M70 and really love it. Does the Omega have the same quality glass and brightness? I'm going to buy the burris for 50.00 at any rate because I can use it somewhere. But for my ML I figured the Omega would be most appropriate since it's designed for it. I agree on the BDC reticle. over 150 yards is really not going to happen anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree on the BDC reticle. over 150 yards is really not going to happen anyhow. Dont know. Have no first hand experience with the omega scopes, however I believe I read somewhere that the light transmission on them was not as good as the monarch line. Primary selling point on the omega scopes from what I understand are the bdc and the longer eye relief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
