Droptine Riflescope 3-9x50mm is rated out of 5 by 98.
Rated 4 out of 5 by HaanSolo from Droptine 4-16x42 Ballistics Plex While I like the simplistic approach, the clear glass, and the overall quality of this scope... Only two things set this scope back in my mind. First is the coating on the scope is not as nice as others. It leaves white marks from brushing it up against anything that is some what ridged. The second being that Burris doesn't have a app for ballistics of multiple calibers, elevation, temperature, built on the retical you are using. IE I am shooting an AR15 in the 6.5 Grendel and their chart does not include this. I would like to be able to enter my info/dope and have it calculated.
Overall I love it, but it could be better.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Duke11 from Droptine 3x9x40 Just bought it to replace Nikon 3x9x40

Great product for the price
I put in on my sons (9 years old)7mm08 savage axis and he is grouping his shots in a Dixie cup at 200 yards

Rated 5 out of 5 by Norske from Everything works really well The 4.5-14X42 Droptine replaced an older 6X Burris Widefield I had on a sporter weight Ruger M77 MKII 22-250. The extra magnification really helps my 69-year-old eyes. When zeroing the rifle/scope the adjustments worked perfectly. The scope is typically Burris bright, which is an advantage at the indoor 100m range I was using. I quit shooting when I had a 1/2" three shot group off the sandbags at 100 yards. I could see myself pull the last shot to the left so it didn't join the first two in their common bullet hole.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jaime308 from Can't go wrong with Burris! I love this scope went to the desert today did at least 600yard shooting with no problems hit my mark every time

Rated 4 out of 5 by hammerjack from Clear As A Bell! Optics are very clear. I have the G2B Mil-Dot reticle...a little too "busy" for me but the mil-dots and hash marks are very clear. For my eyes, the 14X didn't seem to offer more than my other 12X scope, and I'm stepping up to something in the 18X to 20X range. I would recommend it to those who like the G2B Mil-Dot reticle.

Rated 5 out of 5 by robmcd from Great scope for the money! I bought this scope for a Ruger 10/22 Sporter. The quality is excellent, It has bright optics, and the 22 LR BDC works very well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DLB1955 from Great scope and features. I bought this for my AR15 for coyote hunting and also a recent prairie dog hunt in which it preformed absolutely great. It replaced a smaller magnification scope and I'm very happy with it so far.

Rated 5 out of 5 by George Solid from Great Scope I bought this scope 3 months ago. I’ve been using it for long distance shooting on my 308 Israeli Mauser. Incredibly clear glass during low light conditions, fog and mist. Really appreciate the mil dot and crisp adjustments.

Hi my name is Hugo.... I don't quite understand the windage adjustment were by you lock and zero the ring via pen or sharp object.....Can someone please explain
The low profile adjustment knobs on Fullfield E1
riflescopes feature a finger adjustment for both
windage and elevation.Once you have successfully
zeroed your scope, you can set the zero on your dials
with these simple steps:
1.With turret caps removed, grip or push down on knob
top firmly to keep knob from turning.
2. Put pen or other small
object into the small hole
located on the dial, 180º
from“0”.
3. Keeping firm grip or
pressure on the knob, use
the pen to turn the dial
back to zero, lining up the
number zero with the
white indicator dot.Only
the numbered dial should
move – do not allow the
entire knob to move or else you will alter your
windage and elevation zero settings.

What is the focal point on this scope. Every site seems to miss that information.
The Droptine is a second focal plane scope.

How do I change the turret caps from non graduated to numerical graduated caps on the Burris Droptine 4.5-14x42mm? I thought there would be a pin hole but cannot find any place to insert pin or place to insert small blade under caps.
Hello,
If you remove the turret cap you will find that the turrets have a small pinhole at the bottom of the turret collar. There are not exposed MOA caps available for the Droptine.

Is the glass the same on the ff2, E1,and drop tine?
No, the E1 has different glass due to the reticle being etched in the glass. The Fullfield II and Droptine have wire reticles.

Can the Burris Droptine 4.5 x 14 x 42 scope with adjustable AO be used for close range shooting under 50 yards?
Yes it can be used, however since the parallax only goes down to 50 yards, if you are using the scope on higher magnification the picture will not be as clear inside of 50 yards.

I have a 4.5 -14 drop tine that has gotten scratched over time. I am wondering if it would be possible to get the finish restored.
We unfortunately do not have a refinishing service. For aluminum we recommend "Birchwood Casey Aluminum Black"
