Burris Fullfield E1 3-9x40 Shotgun Scope, Matte Finish with Ballistic Plex E1 Reticle

The Burris Fullfield E1 3-9x40 shotgun scope brings trusted, no-nonsense optics to your shotgun setup. Built for hunters who need a versatile magnification range that handles everything from thick timber to open country, the 3-9x power range is the workhorse choice for American hunting. This matte-finished scope pairs clean aesthetics with proven durability—it's designed to survive the heavy recoil, constant movement, and weather exposure that comes with real field hunting.

The Ballistic Plex E1 reticle is purpose-built for shotgun hunting, with cascading dots that help you hold over at distance when seconds matter. Finger-adjustable windage and elevation turrets keep the profile sleek and snag-free, while positive steel-on-steel adjustments mean your zero stays locked in through recoil and vibration. The scope is fully waterproof and nitrogen-filled to keep internal fogging out of the equation in cold rain or swamp conditions, and the high-grade optical glass delivers the brightness you need in low light.

Construction is where Burris doesn't cut corners: a solid 1-piece outer tube in 1-inch diameter absorbs shock from heavy-recoiling shotgun slugs, and a double internal spring-tension system keeps everything tight. Hi-Lume multicoating reduces glare and boosts light transmission, which matters when you're hunting at dawn or dusk. This scope is backed by the Burris Forever Warranty, so you can trust it to perform for a lifetime of hunts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this scope designed specifically for shotgun slug hunting?

Yes. The Ballistic Plex E1 reticle is engineered for shotgun use, with the dot spacing and ballistic reference points calibrated for slug trajectories. The robust 1-piece tube is built to absorb the shock of shotgun recoil consistently.

Will this scope handle cold, wet hunting conditions?

Absolutely. The scope is fully waterproof and filled with nitrogen to prevent internal fogging even in cold rain or temperature swings. The Hi-Lume multicoating also helps cut glare in low-light conditions.

What does the Ballistic Plex E1 reticle look like, and how does it help with aiming?

The Ballistic Plex E1 features cascading windage and elevation dots that serve as hold-over points. When you need to shoot at distance, you can use the appropriate dot to compensate for shotgun slug drop without adjusting turrets.

Yes. The separated power ring and eyepiece design accommodates standard flip-up lens covers, protecting your glass in the field and keeping the scope profile clean.
