Overview
The Fullfield 3-12x42mm is Burris's rear focal plane hunting scope with a 1 inch tube, aimed at hunters wanting a versatile 4x zoom range on a single-piece aluminum body.
Burris backs it with a transferable Forever Warranty that carries over to a future owner if the scope is ever sold, which several longtime owners cite as a reason they keep buying the brand. The Knob Synergy system also lets shooters swap in custom ballistic or zero-stop turrets later rather than being locked to the stock knob.
- 3-12x42mm, 1 inch tube
- Single-piece aluminum body with double spring turret
- Tool-less exposed elevation and windage knobs
- Transferable Burris Forever Warranty
Who it's for
Fits hunters who want a compact, lightweight all-around scope for rifles like a bolt-action deer rifle or an AR platform, especially buyers who value a no-questions warranty over chasing the priciest glass. Not the pick for long-range precision shooters who need a first focal plane reticle.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Long-time Burris owners, including one with 13 of the brand's scopes, describe this Fullfield as precise, clear and durable, several rating the glass on par with far more expensive optics. Reviewers repeatedly point to the transferable lifetime warranty as a reason they keep buying the brand, and multiple buyers praise the tool-less knobs for quick field adjustments.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Rear focal plane reticle does not scale holdover with magnification
- Some configurations use fixed parallax, so close-range shooters may want the side-focus version
Performance notes
The 4x zoom range from 3-12x covers close woods hunting up through longer field shots, and multi-coated lenses are meant to hold brightness and reduce glare in low light. The single-piece aluminum body with metal-on-metal components and a double spring turret targets durability, and tool-less exposed knobs let shooters make elevation and windage adjustments by hand in the field.
