Burris Introduces New Side Parallax Adjustment for Popular Riflescopes

GREELEY, CO – Burris is introducing a new side parallax adjustment to its popular long-range Fullfield E1® and Predator Quest® riflescopes. The new easy-to-reach, ergonomic location makes correcting parallax faster and easier, without compromising the hunter’s shooting position for improved long-distance accuracy.

“Side parallax focus and adjustment is a great convenience feature we’ve added to our Fullfield E1 and Predator Quest riflescopes,” said Vice President of Sales & Business Development Patrick Beckett. “By repositioning the parallax adjustment from the objective bell to the side of the scope, we’ve made it much easier to reach, so the hunter can make adjustments faster and stay in the optimum shooting position. It helps the hunter stay on target, particularly for long-distance shots.”

Burris long-range Fullfield E1 and Predator Quest riflescopes feature high performance glass for excellent brightness and clarity. They’re perfect for spotting a distant coyote or whitetail in early morning light or in low-light conditions at dusk. The Ballistic Plex E1 reticle allows for easy trajectory compensation out to 500 yards and feature cascading dots to help compensate for wind. Like all Burris optics, they’re waterproof, fogproof and backed by the Burris legendary, no-questions-asked Forever Warranty®. Read more

Save Your Hearing & Gain Huge Advantage with PRO EARS

One of the “10 Commandments” of firearm safety is for shooters to wear eye and ear protection. Yet, many who would never violate any other firearm safety commandment routinely hunt and shoot with nothing to shield their ears. Perhaps they don’t fully understand the permanent risk to hearing each time a gun is fired. More likely, hunters know they need to be able to hear well to hunt effectively. They don’t want anything that diminishes how well they can hear a deer, turkey or other animal approaching.

Pro Ears is the perfect solution. Pro Ears protects hearing while still allowing users to have a normal conservation in the blind or at the range, and Pro Ears even amplifies low decibel sound to give hunters a huge advantage in the field. Pro Ears comes in four series of earmuff style hearing protection, plus a behind-the-ear amplifier with compression and a custom-fit
model worn in the ear. Read more
