How Does A Riflescope Work?

Have you ever been curious about how the internal parts of a rifle scope work together to allow you to hit targets with repeatable accuracy? What about a visual description of how first and second focal plane work in relation to lenses and reticles? In this video our Project Engineering Manager - Michael O'Donnell - walks us through the internal components of a Burris Scope including some of the things that make Burris Optics unique.

Burris Optics, based in Greeley, Colorado, has been an optics innovation leader for nearly 50 years. The company produced its first optics in 1972 and was the originator of the ballistic plex design employed by every hunting optics manufacturer since. Every optic produced by Burris is designed, engineered, and tested in our Greeley, CO facility.
