Overview
Burris's 6003-0479 is a fixed handgun scope built around a Plex reticle and extended eye relief, designed to sit forward on single-shot pistols and scout-style rifles rather than close behind the shooter's eye the way a rifle scope does. It carries the recoil rating and lens size Burris builds for handgun hunters.
Handgun scopes need eye relief measured in inches rather than the few inches rifle scopes allow, since the optic mounts well forward of the shooter's face on a single-shot pistol or scout rifle. Burris built this one with larger, precision-ground lenses than typical handgun optics carry, aimed at drawing in more light for a brighter sight picture at range.
- Plex reticle for a simple, fast sight picture
- Extended eye relief for forward-mounted handgun use
- Precision-ground lenses larger than comparable optics
- Finger-adjustable elevation and windage turrets
Who it's for
Fits handgun hunters running single-shot platforms such as the Thompson Contender or Encore, or scout rifles with forward-mounted optics, where a standard rifle scope's eye relief would put the lens too close to the shooter's face. Less suited to most revolvers, where the scope is described as bulky.
Pros and cons
- Turret markings hard to read and repeat
- Finger-adjustable clicks, not target-style turrets
- Scope described as large for most revolvers
Performance notes
The turrets adjust with audible, finger-adjustable clicks, but more than one reviewer found the markings hard to read and the clicks difficult to count back to a previous setting, so fine repeatable adjustment is the optic's weaker point.
