I would not say they compare to Leupold and Burris quality. JMHO  :D

Leupold and Burrius are far from the same in quality in my experiance. I have over 30 Leupold scopes, and still have my first one that I got back in the 1960`s. I have never had any trouble with any Leupold scope. I heard alot about Burrius and bought 2 of them acouple of years ago, bith handgund scopes. 1, a 3 x 9 that could not hold a group on 9x, but held good on 3x, but the centers of the group were abt 9in. appart at 100 yrds. The other a 1 x 4 that would only go from 1 to 2 1/2x.  If I ever get another Burrius scope it will be om a gun in a trade and it will go down the road as fast as I can move it.

What did Burris say when you contacted them about these scopes?  They support their products as well as Leupold, and I am surprised they didn't fix them to your satisfaction.

I like the field of view I get from my Burris scopes, and have never had the kind of trouble you have.  I also have a few TC handgun scopes that have worked fine as well.
