I have to admit, honestly, that seeing the factory and the happy people who work there makes me want to use Burris products.

I bought a gun used with an old Burris. 1-4 power. It was foggy. I called them and asked if they could fix it. I offered to pay since I bought it used. They refused to take any money for fixing it. That scope became the one scope my dad and I fight over. We both love it, it’s so clear……and holds its adjustment.

I never wanted a Burris scope until now. This is an awesome place, and I love what they are making.

Tons of respect for a man who knows every part and every job that his employees do. Looks like he knows all of those machines and processes just as well as the workers who do them all day every day.

Years ago I needed a part for a Burris scope. They sent it to me no charge. A great company.

I have to say thank you for this video. After 60 years of shooting I have never seen a video tour of an optics manufacturer that was this extensive. The informality was intriguing and refreshing. Kudos to Burris. Everyone should be able to understand why high quality optics are so expensive after watching how they are made. You might not be able to afford them, but you will understand why.

Thanks to Burris for the tour and working with Jim. It has paid off, I bought 2 Signature scopes w/C3 reticles. Love the C3 simple not to busy and illuminated, perfect for the bench

Thanks to everyone at Burris for allowing us a visit to their facility

Used many Burris scopes throughout the years - never a days issue and always loved them for some reason while everyone else was on about "bigger and better". It is weird, it is almost as if the values of a company such as Burris bleeds down to their products. This video shows the "why" behind the scenes. Great company and I will continue to support Burris and well done on this vid Backfire!

Wow. It is pretty clear why these are such great optics. I recommend Burris to anyone looking for a scope. it is nice to see who is making them. Videos like this really helps us feel connected to our equipment. Seeing the people who work in these factories is appreciated.

Thanks to Burris for showing you a lot of interesting stuff, and the pride they take at every step, almost like watchmakers.

Everything in this video was beyond impressive, but what took it a step further for me was the 'no questions asked' returned scopes. I wouldn't have had the cheek to ask for a new scope after driving over it with a car, so huge respect to this company. I especially loved the guy who won a competition after his scope was hit by a bullet. That is just crazy!

“No Questions Ask Warranty” is the best

I had an issue with my Burris XTR II, but their customer service was top notch! After they took a look at my scope they actually told me what was wrong which made me feel better (since it was a brand new scope). Shipped it back and everything has been great since. Overall super happy with the scope and I have shot out to 880 yards so far with it. I am actually going to use it to stretch the rifle out a little further tomorrow.

Super cool. Thanks Burris and Backfire for giving us an inside look (pun intended)

As an old and very retired machinist I love this place.

These are fantastic folks to do business with, and they're a lot of fun to shoot and hang out with. Great video with great people, at a great facility in the a smelly city. IYKYK! Thanks for the video, and the tour! I've always wondered what that room with the windows upstairs looked like!

That facility is immaculate, and I'm a satisfied owner of a few Burris products. I'm also the guy that maintained all of the clean room operations at Trijicon in Wixom.

Only their top tier scopes are made here but they stand behind em all. I’ve never had to use their warranty. Great tour video!

This was a great tour of Burris! I just bought a Signature HD 3-15x44 and it is a way more crisp scope than I would have guessed especially considering the price. After seeing this it's obvious that they have personnel and machinery committed to building quality stuff.

I have three Burris scopes. All three of them are better than my vortex and better than my Leupold scopes and have been dead nuts, reliable. I’ve had to send some vortex scopes back for repair. Burris I’ve never had a problem. And they both have the same warranty, great American company

Wow this really gave me a better thought on the purchase of a BURRIS Scope. And I love the part that it’s made in the USA. I absolutely love the BURRIS scope mounts I have them on a few of my rifles and have never had a problem with them.

I'm impressed I worked in an assembly plant for 21 years and we did some very fine tuning on some of our products. Good job very informative.

Thank you for taking us along. I have a new respect for Burris scopes and seeing the process of making them was eye opening. Seeing the pride and joy of the employees was great. Burris scopes took a major leap forward for me in scopes. Thanks for sharing.

Lewis the CNC operator sounds like a shoe-in for Farmer Fran from Waterboy!

As an Australian, we love made in the USA stuff here. It has always been a country that makes quality things.

Great to see a Burris tour and how they produce their scopes. I've been a big Burris fan for over 45 years and never regretted it. Over that time, I've never had to send one back for warranty. As far as I recall, I think they were the first one's to come out with pistol scopes, or at least variable pistol scopes. Even their budget lines are great scopes.

Wow! When he shows the lens adjustments starting about 7:20 is so cool! 😎

Great tour. Thanks Jim. I've only ever used Burris and never had any issues with them. Great product.

Thank you! Haven't really given Burris much thought; didn't know they still made scopes in the U.S. Appreciate you reintroducing Burris to us and walking us through their factory in a "how it's made" session. Will be doing some research today to see what scope I'd like to get from them.

Excellent tour and description of the process these scopes go through. I am looking forward to seeing your review on them.

Thank you...this was very interesting and informative. You have a nice way of interacting with the employees making them more responsive. Obviously they show a lot of pride in their work. Burris makes an excellent product.

I own a Burris scope, and I love it. This video makes me appreciate it even more!

While I own & have used a number of other scopes (NF, Leupold, Sightron, etc)....my Burris scopes are some of my favorites. I've never had to use their customer service, but had a feeling that it was top notch. Thanks to you and Burris for allowing us a peek at what goes into producing a quality scope.

I've had 2 xtrii scopes. I gave one away for a Christmas present and still have the other one. I love it. Shot in a 3 gun long range comp with it and took second place. Rock solid. Burris rocks

Very cool! Kudos to Burris for the open discussion and hands on examples.

Thank you and many thanks to Burris for taking us behind the scenes. This is great to see an American Company producing such a great product. I've owned a few Burris scopes in my years of hunting and still do. I will certainly be turning to Burris for my next optics needs. Great people, great scopes and great customer service.

Very interesting. Lots of high end machining and assembly. Thanks for posting.

Love Burris. My dad is still rocking a Burris scope he bought in the 70s. It’s fallen off of horses, smashed into rocks, been buried in snow, etc more times than he can ever remember. Still a great scope.

I've owned an XTRII for many years. Recently gave the rifle and optic to a friend right before I retired to the Philippines. I'll be putting a Burris on my new hunting rifle I'll be using every year when I go back to the US. Seeing this sold me.

Got a fullfield E13x9x50, love it. Just found 1 on sale got it ordered. Thanks to your scope comparesion video.

good to see americans supporting their countries companies. i really wish australia still had a large manufacturing presence, its almost gone now.

Great to see! I'd have to paw through 2 safes to know how many Burris scopes I have, but I'm a fan. The ones made in the Philippines are a good value and perfectly practical for brush guns, ARs, .22 plinkers - don't recall any issues with any of them. On the higher end, I have one of their older models called a Black Diamond on my varmint rig with great optics that's been proven durable with over a decade of regular use. Really enjoyed seeing how they're made.

I really like the idea of a no questions asked warranty.

@backfire Jim you're a blessed Man. That veracity with it's smart technology is bada$$!!!

Great video! Never had a scope factory tour before.

This is great! Always wondered how they were made. Burris is AWESOME for letting you film there!! Thanks!!!

I am really going to pay much more attention to Burris scopes when shopping for my next ones, from now on! Thanks To you both for doing this!

I have owned several Burris optics over the years and they have all been absolutely perfect. There quality, fit and finish, field of view, and clarity is top of the line in my experience.

Very interesting and informative video. Thank you and Burris for producing it. Great job!

Absolutely fascinating! I loved this tour ! Seth is the man! 🙂

Thanks Jim for the great video, very helpful with info and purchasing my next scope.

thanks for taking us along!

and this folks is how you get quality scopes 😁 great behind the scenes look at what goes into the makings. 👍

I have several burris scopes on different calibers and love em all .thanks, burris, you rock guarantee for life, no question asked

Thanks for letting us get a tour i enjoyed it.

Wish you would have added a list of all the models made by this factory.

I bought a Burris Veracity PH based on your review. I am highly pleased with it. I WILL buy more burris scopes in the future.

The warranty scope trophy case and the stories are great!

Last scope I bought was a Nightforce, because it was the only one available locally that was first focal plane otherwise every scope that I have is a Leupold.

Good stuff! Keep it coming sir!

I am a proud owner of an older XTR-2 and it has been fantastic. I have been rocking it on a 6.5 PRC system for about 5 to 7 years now, when ever it came out...

That's why rifles that fire from an open bolt or spring piston powered air rifles are vastly the hardest on scopes. Nothing will break a scope up inside as quickly as a high powered spring piston powered air rifle. If a scope can survive and hold zero on a magnum powered spring or gas ram air rifle it will survive any powder burner.

Been in the market for a new scope for my 30-30 for a while now and haven't been able to decide. I will 100% pick up a Burris now. Thanks Backfire!

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Definitely a Burris fan now.

Burris is one of the few manufacturers to supply stainless finish scopes that match up with stainless firearms. Their scopes have been super at turning my stainless arms into tack drivers; including a new 6" Colt Python. For some reason the new Colt Pythons are not drilled for optics, so a gunsmith drilled the necessary mounting holes for me. Fortunately, the new Anacondas are drilled for optics.

I can't believe how much the plant has changed since I worked there. Looks very clean .

Very neat.. Thank You for sharing Jim

I did not know there was a scope made in USA. Now I'm a customer

Thank you for taking us inside! Good ol' U.S. of A! That's a good reason to look into Burris. Enjoyed it!

i have burris on my ARs and hunting rifles..and this video, solidified my positive choices. awesome!

I love my burris scope on my remington 700, accurate and rugged. Trophy maker! This is a great video, thanks!

Nice work - I learned a lot - Thanks Jim

Wasn’t Damnit Jim from Star Trek? As in “Damnit Jim I’m a Doctor not a miracle worker!”

Look forward to seeing your reviews !

You had some good questions, and they seemed to always have an answer.

This is awesome. I'm going to go purchase one when I finish watching this video!

Very interesting, thanks! Burris-fan from Finland here!

Top Quality and Great Customer Service 👍👍👍👍👍Thank You

I’ve got 5 NF scopes just got the Burris XTR 111 a couple months ago it’s my favorite scope! Great job Burris

Excellent video! Informative and enjoyable

Burris scopes definitely give you a lot for the money. The coating and lenses are clear and perform very well in low light with high light transmission. Like he stated, it's a balance of give and take to produce an excellent scope with the performance you need and not cutting corners. If a better image will add a little more weight, Burris chooses the better image. If you have the opportunity to do actual side by side comparisons with different scopes, for example, at the hunting camp and you are able to look at the same object in the same light with different manufacturers, Burris stands above many others. Of course you can spend a couple thousand on a high end Luepold and you will have a great scope. But you don't necessarily have to break the bank to have an excellent optic from Burris and also have the forever warranty. I've never heard of an unhappy Burris owner. I can't stand spending money just to have a name or overpay just to feel like I got something nice. When you look at the quality of the product and its features and reliability, when it comes to Burris, you can feel confident you are getting every penny you spend. It's hard to justify the high cost of high end scope when you can spend a whole lot less and be perfectly satisfied with a nice Burris scope. When you do the actual side by side comparisons, it's difficult to see where all that extra money is going. Most of the time, it's just someone saying they spent x amount so I got what I paid for must be worth it. Buy a Burris, enjoy a great quality scope and you'll see where your money went and not just have an idea where it went.

Now that's cool

Very cool, thanks for sharing!

This is awesome def buying these scopes for a few of my rifles that don't have any

Very cool tour

The more I research on optics the more I like the Burris line up. Especially the Veracity PH line and the new Eliminator 6!!

ok that's cool. I'll have to look into some of their newer scopes too.

That was amazing to see thanks for taking us threw

Great video, really enjoyed that.

Wow! I learned a lot. My next optics purchase will definitely be a Burris.

Hey Backfire, did you see a veracity PH on their trophy shelf that was burned to a crisp, it was mine if so, they sent me a new one. The whole thing was completely my fault, it was in some boxes I burned by mistake and they replaced it no questions asked. Amazing company!

That was very cool made me really appreciate Burris

13:55 this is exactly why springer air rifles are scope killers! Not alot of recoil to say so but it kicks both ways and causes alot of vibrations Nice factory tour! Looks like quality products

I design and manufacture the scope myself, and Burris has a lot for me to learn

That was cool. I see another Burris scope in my future. That Veracity looks sweet!

I’ve been a Burris fan since the beginning. I’ve owned several over the years. Never had a problem. I support Burris 100 percent.

Very cool. A lot goes into making a scope. Darren

Well done Sir! Kudos to Burris.

I have to say burris is a top notch company. I have the RT-6 1-6×24 and love it. I will say its not made in the u.s. but nonetheless its a really nice lpvo. I lost the throw lever and contacted the customer support via email and they responded in less than a day, told them my problem and they sent me a new throw lever at absolutely no cost to me. Not even shipping! It came fast, not quite sure how many days but i had it in less than a week. Two thumbs up to burris from me.
