Innovative F-Class MOA Reticle with Multiple Center Dots
Burris offers this First Focal Plane (FFP) scope with an F-Class MOA Reticle, the only reticle of its kind to feature multiple illuminated center dots (on the vertical line), the Front Focal Plane reticle keeps the 1/2 MOA grid design constant (relative to target) at any magnification. A second 20 MOA offset 1/2 MOA grid allow shooters to obtain an extra 20 MOA of elevation beyond the capability of the turret adjustments and still have horizontal wind hold-off references. At each 10 MOA section you’ll find an ultra-fine crosshair with 1/8 MOA illuminated dot for maximum versatility.

I don’t like the reticle – not for F-Class anyway. It’s far too cluttered and complex.
It looks a good scope otherwise, although I’d prefer a 56mm objective lens diameter for 40x maximum magnification.
Laurie,
I agree. In F-Class people can zero at a distance so I don’t see the advantage of the multiple, vertically-stacked illuminated dots. And yes, with all those subtensions, it seems like you’re looking at railroad tracks, not a cross-hair. Still it’s nice to see something with this power range that should sell for maybe $1099 street price.
Cool new release from Burris for sure. But what rifle is that on? It looks like a new Steyr!?
Editor: You have a good eye. The scope is mounted on a Steyr look-a-like Airsoft rifle.
They’re missing the boat, marketing a FFP scope to F-Class shooters.
Also agree with Laurie on the objective. I’ve owned a few Burris scopes and have always found them to be pretty good.
Being a FFP scope you most likely don’t even see the second horizontal line at 40x
Agreed. The reticle is too noisy. All that’s required is 1/8 inch dot in the center and 1 MOA graduations with 1/2 MOA graduations on the vertical and horizontal plane. The cross hair lines should subtend no more than 1/16 MOA – 1/32 MOA would be better still.
Looks like a good reticle for hold off on VBR
Reticle looks like the cheesy Counter Sniper Optics one. Why would you offer an FFP optic with 1/8 MOA clicks? This scope will have no appeal to F-Class shooters or Tactical shooters.
Always liked Burris scopes. Cant say I care for the crosshairs.
I think they should have stuck with a SFP for F class. Reticle is way to busy for my liking.
Gary: Went to Burris website and they are listing MSRP at $1802.
I would give it a look at 1000 but for list price they are dreaming.
Where did author get the $1100 price–someone at SHOT?
this is pulled off the website: new 201080 8X-40X-50mm Illum F Class MOA mat XT-2 / 1/8 MOA $1802
Editor: Gary, If you watch the video at 1:55″ mark, the Burris rep says the product is $1199.00. He checked with his boss before we filmed this spot. It appears that there may be some misinformation — either on the website or in the info provided by Burris to us at the show.
Optics planet has them for just over a grand. It would most likely do a better job with Tactical comps.
For someone who shoots long range tactical comps this may have some appeal. To an F class shooter I can’t see it.
Their 5-25×50 mil/mil FFP has a lot of promise and is something I would buy for long range steel plates where match officials don’t allow range finders
To Kris you obviously are not experienced in f class the preferred click value is 1/8 moa the finer the better this translates in to 1 1/4 inch per click at 1000 yards and ffp means that when mirage is a problem you power down but reticle still is accurate at any range allowing for exact corrections to the scope turrets I think this a good scope for f class and good value for the price point I will compare with my Nightforce bench rest and report on it .
