    Price comparison: 2 of 3 scopes used · Details

    For each Burris scope, we average the prices of all scopes from other brands with the same sensor class, primary lens size and built-in rangefinder status. We calculate its percentage difference from that average, then average those percentages. Each qualifying Burris scope counts equally.

    A scope needs at least 2 competing scopes to count. They may come from the same other brand; each distinct scope contributes one price. Matching these specifications does not establish equal image quality or features.

    Prices are saved new-item or sale listings confirmed in stock, recorded within 30 days of 2026-10-20. 2 of 3 scopes have an eligible price. Missing prices are excluded. Availability can change.

    Brands can have different scopes in their comparisons, so these percentages are not a direct ranking of brand prices.

      A shared sensor class doesn’t establish the same image quality. Open a family for its exact scopes and feature differences.

      Sources & reading the comparison

      Configurations come from our saved product catalog. Sensor columns use actual horizontal pixel counts; a shared resolution does not establish equal image quality. Runtime bars share a 12-hour scale on this page. The lighter segment shows the range within a family; an asterisk means runtime is missing for some scopes. Runtime depends on operating conditions and is not a HuntGrade test result. Mixed battery or display configurations are identified at scope level. Prices show confirmed in-stock offers from our saved retailer data; scopes without one show “Check availability”. Stars compare specifications across the full catalog. Hog identification distances are calculated estimates. Switchable lens positions are recorded for AGM Clarion. Open a scope for its specifications and source links.

      Behind the brand

      The company behind your scope.

      The people

      A riflescope company first.

      1971Don Burris founded the company

      Don Burris established the company in 1971 after working as a design engineer at Redfield. The Fullfield riflescope followed in 1975, and Burris joined the Beretta group in 2002.

      The hardware

      BTS is its thermal product family.

      The thermal sensor, display and electronics add a different set of components to the conventional riflescopes Burris built its name on.

      Our sourcing dossier discusses external thermal hardware suppliers. It does not establish that every BTS generation shares one sensor or manufacturing arrangement.

      After the sale

      Thermal has its own warranty.

      Burris’s U.S. thermal policy provides three years of coverage to the original purchaser. Thermal products are excluded from the lifetime Signature Warranty.

      3 years
      Recorded thermal coverage

      U.S. thermal coverage requires proof of purchase. International terms vary by generation and region.

      Sources & details

      History and the separate U.S. thermal policy checked September 11, 2026. Supplier context follows the existing brand dossier; no universal component equivalence is claimed.
