Burris Veracity | The Pinnacle Of Accuracy

Serious hunters know the necessity of a scope that can quickly find the target but also indicate where to hold. If you are shooting prairie dogs, coyotes, or even big game like deer or elk, you need to have the upper hand to be successful. And the Burris Veracity was designed for this exact purpose.

Almost every major brand of riflescope manufacturer offers a reticle that allows you to make adjustments for elevation, windage, and bullet drop. Some are better than others, and we think the Veracity offers this and much more to the hunter, at a fraction of the cost of the competition.

PROS

CONS

Easy To Use, Easy To Adjust, Easy To Trust

The intuitive reticle makes it easy to take your shot easily and accurately as well as determine distances without having to use a rangefinder. While you can still easily adjust the scope for windage and elevation, you don’t have to in order to use this scope effectively.

The Veracity is covered with Burris' no questions asked, forever warranty. Even If you buy the scope used, you can still take advantage of the warranty as it transfers to the next owner.

The scope can take the use and abuse of anything you put it through. No matter the conditions, weather, or the journey, you can trust that the Veracity to always perform as it was designed.

Value and the Veracity

The veracity is an imported scope designed by Burris, made in the Philippines. Before you completely discount it and go buy that American made rifles scope for twice the cost, there is more than one reason you should at least look into the Veracity.

Burris spent over two years creating the quality control certification before the scope was first released. After it goes through the multiple steps of quality control checks at the factory, the scopes are then double checked at the plant in Greely, Colorado before they hit retailers.

It goes without saying that Burris builds their scopes with quality that will last, otherwise they would be losing massive amounts of money through their warranty program.

Full Review of the Veracity

The Veracity is a rugged and solid hunting scope made to endure all the rigors that you endure to find your trophy or to bag as many prairie dogs as possible. The excellent optical clarity coupled with the easily visible reticle makes this THE hunting scope for SERIOUS hunters.

Here’s why we think you will like the Veracity as much as we do:

Reticle Design

Burris knows you take hunting serious and the importance of being able to take that precise shot for an instant kill. That’s why they have developed several reticles that they utilize specifically for the Veracity.

For varmint hunting, the Ballistic Plex E1 FFP Varmint reticle capitalizes on an easy to see crosshair pattern, even if you don’t use the MOA tick marks. The bold outer lines help with instant target acquisition, while the inner marks thin to accentuate the lethal kill zone. Experienced distance marksman will appreciate the detail that Burris has put into this specific reticle.

The final reticle Burris offers is the SCR MOA, which is primarily used in the long range scope of the XTR II. In the XTR II it is illuminated but in the Veracity, it is not. The proprietary reticle design increases precision when used in long range applications.

SCR stands for Special Competition Reticle and while it is perfectly suited to long range competition shooting, it is also suited to long range hunting as well. It features 1-MOA holdover lines, ½-MOA and 1-MOA windage hold-off lines, and ¼-MOA ranging brackets on the top, left and right extremes of the crosshairs. 

Adjustable Turrets For Windage, Elevation, And Parallax

The Veracity features the exposed turrets that are commonly seen on its long distance scopes. Adjustment matches the reticle’s MOA measurement system and the audible clicks can also be felt, even when using hearing protection. Zero Click Stop can be easily reset to zero by loosening a single hex screw.

Burris lets you choose between the MAD System with exposed adjustment turrets, or to cap them. The main difference besides the caps is that the capped turrets stand taller on the rifle scope than the MAD System.

Parallax adjustment is easy to adjust and access with an ergonomic side focus knob that will focus from 50 yards to infinity.

High Performance Optics

The Hi-Lume multi-coating is index matched to the lenses, meaning that the optical engineers have created the optimal coating for each specific glass. What does this mean? Light transmission is optimized in low light conditions and glare is minimized in bright light.

Burris uses high quality glass and precision grinding in its optics and the Veracity is no exception. The Veracity has outstanding brightness and clarity that makes it the ideal hunting scope for your next expedition.

Not only is this a piece of solid optical engineering, it delivers precision accuracy, every single time. Once you learn how to use the highly technical markings, you will be able to take any shot you need to.

This is the kind of scope that can be used at 100 yards or 600. It is versatile, dependable and accurate. Veracity does mean “accurate” or “the truth” and we agree that it lives up to its name.

Even Outdoor Life Magazine recognized this scope saying:

"We are too cynical to proclaim a “perfect” riflescope, but we’re also experienced enough to recognize a first-rate optic that can handle a wide range of shooting tasks with an equally high level of aptitude for each."
