Overview
Model 200261 in Burris's Scout Scope line, this is a forward-mount optic with a Ballistic Plex reticle, 9.2 to 12 inches of eye relief, and a compact 9.7 inch, 13 ounce body.
Scout rifles are a specific niche, mounted forward of the action so the shooter can keep both eyes open, and this scope is built around that mounting position rather than as a general hunting scope. Owners running it on M1A, Steyr and Socom16 scout builds describe it holding up to that specific use case.
- 9.2 to 12in eye relief
- Forward-mount scout scope design
- Ballistic Plex reticle
- Fog, water and shockproof body
Who it's for
Shooters building a scout rifle setup, forward mounted for both-eyes-open shooting, are the clear fit here. It is not meant for shooters wanting a rear-mounted, high-magnification scope for long range precision.
Pros and cons
- Long eye relief suited to forward mounting
- Compact and light at 9.7 inches, 13 ounces
- Finger-adjustable turrets keep a low profile
- Fog, water and shockproof construction
- Turret barrels are shallow, hard to grip
- Damaged unit reported from one third-party seller
Performance notes
The forward-mounting position combined with 9.2 to 12 inches of eye relief lets shooters keep both eyes open for faster target acquisition, while the Ballistic Plex reticle gives trajectory-compensating hold points without dialing turrets between shots.
