About Burris
In 1971, Burris Optics was founded after design engineer Don Burris believed he could build a better riflescope than what was currently available in the market. In the beginning the company made rings, bases, and open sights, but Burris soon transitioned to sporting optics. The company’s first optic was a riflescope called the Burris Fullfield, which hit the market in 1975 and has grown to be an industry icon that is still manufactured today. Burris has since expanded their offering and supplies popular optics like the Burris FastFire, Burris RT6, Burris Eliminator, & Burris Oracle X. Burris now produces rifle scopes, red-dot sights, binoculars, spotting scopes, rangefinding archery sights, and a complete line of rings and bases all backed by the no questions asked Burris Forever Warranty. Every Burris product relies on nearly 50 years of optical engineering experience to offer a perfect combination of features and performance to ensure a successful hunt or day at the range.
