Burris 200291 Handgun Scope, Matte Black 2-7x32mm, 1" Tube, Plex Reticle

The Burris 200291 is a 2-7x32mm handgun scope designed specifically for hunters who demand durability and precision from a compact optic. Built to handle the recoil and abuse of magnum handgun hunting, this matte black scope delivers the eye relief and lightweight profile that sidearm hunting requires. The 1-inch tube construction creates a solid, stress-resistant body that maintains zero through even heavy-recoiling calibers, while the optical system is engineered to cut through low-light conditions and deliver the contrast you need in the field.

Handgun scopes live in a tough world—mounted on guns that generate serious recoil in unpredictable conditions. Burris addressed this with index-matched Hi-Lume multi-coated lenses that maximize light transmission and minimize glare, and a nitrogen-filled, waterproof tube that keeps internal fogging out of the equation. The double internal spring-tension system and steel-on-steel adjustment mechanism ensure the scope will hold the zero you dial in, shot after shot. This isn't just a scope that theoretically can handle magnum recoil; it's built on the principle that it absolutely must.

The Plex reticle is straightforward and effective—simple enough not to clutter your sight picture, precise enough for the hunting distances where handgun scopes live. Whether you're hunting in bright sunlight or during the golden hour, the quality of the optical glass and the anti-reflection coatings work together to deliver brightness and clarity without compromise. Burris backs the 200291 with their Forever Warranty, reflecting confidence in the build.

Frequently Asked Questions

What magnification range is best for handgun hunting?

The 2-7x range of the Burris 200291 is purpose-built for handgun hunting. The low end (2x) provides a wide field of view for closer ranges or moving game, while 7x steps up magnification for longer shots or detailed target acquisition. It strikes the balance that handgun hunters need without overpowering a scope that will endure significant recoil stress.

Will this scope handle the recoil of magnum handgun calibers?

Yes. The 200291 is engineered for magnum recoil. The solid 1-inch tube, double internal spring-tension system, and steel-on-steel adjustment mechanism work together to absorb and withstand the shock and vibration of even the heaviest-recoiling handgun calibers, and it will hold zero through that punishment.

Is this scope waterproof?

Yes. The scope is nitrogen-filled and sealed waterproof, which prevents internal fogging even in cold, wet, or rainy conditions—essential for reliable performance in unpredictable hunting weather.

What does the Plex reticle look like?

The Plex reticle is a clean, simple crosshair design with a thicker outer portion that tapers to a fine center. It provides aiming precision without excessive clutter in your sight picture, making it effective for both hunting and target work at handgun ranges.
