I just picked up one of these Burris Fullfield II E1 scopes to replace the KonusPro 275 3-9X40 that was on my Axis 223 when I purchased it used.
First impression is I really like this scope. It is a 4.5-14X42 model and it swapped right out on the rifle . Bore sighted it Tuesday and test shot it @ 50yds to see if it was on paper and if it was anywhere near POA. First 3 shots left 2 holes, one just right of center in the bull and the second was just right and level with that other hole. Then after closer review the center hole was actually 2 holes as the hole was not circular and slightly larger tan the other. The next three shots were all just above the first two holes and two of the three were inside the bull. I then moved quickly to the 100yd range and the shots of course opened up as I was rushing now as it was getting dark and I was also already getting cold as it was only 34* out there. Plus I was playing with the focus and the parallax adjustment. I only fired 9 more shots at 100yds and called it a day.
So I am first impressed with the Savage Axis, next with the scope and lastly completely surprised with myself. I cannot wait to get back out and shoot more only this time using ammunition that has been worked up for this gum with the other scope.
One of the main selling points for me with this scope was with the E1 reticle. So far I Love it. It's clear, bright and not in my opinion cluttered like so many are with the Christmas tree and I also like the thin lines
