Older Burris'
« on: February 03, 2007, 12:06:35 PM »
I have a Fullfield II 3x9x40 with the electo dot that came out I think about 5-6 years ago, I really like . My question is when did Burris start having their scopes assembled overseas? I just bought a Burris Fullfield 3x9x40 off of ebay , if anyone remembers with the kind of finish that will turn dark purple with age. It is probably at least 8-10 years old, if I remember they were still made here. Does anyone know when they quit  doing everything in the states?
Thanks

I think they went overseas when they came out with the fullfield II line. I think thier higher end scopes are still made in USA

I have three Full Field IIs, one of em is marked on the ocular bell "Made in the USA", the other two aren't marked at all.
