How good are the new Burris Euro Diamond riflescopes? The only experience I have is with a Signature 4-16x44 electro-dot that I have had good results with. Thinking the 3-12x50 illuminated might have a place on a lightweight hunting rifle if it performs well in low light. Are the Euro's closer to a signature or a black diamond? What do the adjustment dials look like? Are they like the sig. that I have? And last for Chris, how do you compare the Euro Diamond with the Meopta scopes. I remember we talked on the phone about Meopta a while back. Thanks.

I bought a Black Diamond 2.5X10X44 about a year ago and really like it. I was going to get another a couple of months ago but found they don't make that scope in a Black Diamond any more. I bought a Euro Diamond 2.5X10X44 hoping it would be the same, but it's not. I guess I shouldn't have expected the same scope for less money. The Euros are good, but they're not Black Diamonds. More of a Signature in a 30mm tube. That's still a really good scope, though. |

The Euro Diamonds are side focus lower powered Black Diamonds with hunting reticles. Same glass and construction just more tailored to big game hunters instead of long range target / varmint. Here is what Burris has to say about them; We designed this exciting, new line of 30mm riflescopes especially for low light hunting situations. We’ve combined optical and mechanical excellence with a collection of hunter friendly ergonomics and sensuous lines in a package that promises to give the pricey European brands a new standard to shoot for. |
