Burris Fullfield 3-12x42 Rifle Scope Plex

Burris Fullfield 3-12x42mm Plex Riflescope

The Burris Fullfield 3-12x42mm riflescope combines a versatile 3-12x magnification range, 42mm objective lens, traditional Plex reticle, and rugged construction in a compact hunting optic. Item #201531 is the non-illuminated Plex version of the Fullfield 3-12x42mm, making it a straightforward choice for hunters who prefer a clean, traditional reticle without illumination or a battery.

The 3-12x magnification range gives hunters considerably more flexibility than a traditional 3-9x hunting scope. At 3x, the Fullfield provides a generous 36-foot field of view at 100 yards for locating game and handling closer shots. At 12x, the field of view narrows to 9.25 feet while providing substantially more detail for evaluating distant targets and making precise shots.

Classic Plex Reticle

The Plex reticle is simple, clean, and easy to see. Its uncluttered crosshair design provides a familiar aiming point without adding additional ballistic references that some hunters may not need. For hunters who prefer to hold directly on their target rather than use a more complex BDC-style reticle, the Plex is a straightforward and versatile choice.

The Plex reticle is located in the rear focal plane, so its apparent size remains consistent as magnification changes. This provides a familiar sight picture throughout the entire 3-12x magnification range and keeps the reticle easy to acquire when a shot opportunity develops.

42mm Objective for Hunting in Changing Light

The 42mm objective lens provides a useful balance between light transmission and compact scope dimensions. Burris combines high-performance glass with multi-coated lenses to maximize light transmission, improve image brightness and clarity, and reduce glare.

The Fullfield 3-12x42mm has an exit pupil ranging from 10.5mm at 3x to 3.5mm at 12x. The large exit pupil at lower magnification provides a bright and comfortable sight picture, while the higher magnification range provides additional detail when evaluating distant game.

Improved 4x Zoom System

Burris's improved 4x zoom system provides the flexibility to move from a wide field of view at low magnification to substantially greater target detail at high power while keeping the scope compact. This makes the Fullfield 3-12x42mm useful for hunters who may encounter both close and longer-range opportunities during the same hunt.

Despite offering 12x maximum magnification, the scope measures only 11.1 inches long and weighs 14.7 ounces. Its compact dimensions help preserve rifle balance and make it a practical choice for hunting rifles where excessive optic weight is undesirable.

High-Performance Glass and Multi-Coated Lenses

The Fullfield optical system uses high-performance glass and advanced multi-coated lenses designed to provide brightness, clarity, and useful low-light performance. Multi-coatings help maximize light transmission while reducing glare, an important consideration when hunting during the early morning and evening hours.

The combination of a 42mm objective, efficient optical coatings, and a wide 3-12x magnification range gives the Fullfield a versatile optical configuration for deer hunting, big-game hunting, and general-purpose use.

Rugged One-Piece Construction

The Fullfield is built from a single piece of aluminum with metal-on-metal components and a double spring turret system. This rugged construction is designed to withstand heavy use and the recoil generated by centerfire hunting rifles.

The scope uses a 1-inch main tube and standard capped adjustment turrets. Both elevation and windage provide 72 MOA of total adjustment, with 1/4 MOA adjustment increments.

Burris Knob Synergy

Burris Knob Synergy gives shooters the ability to upgrade the Fullfield's elevation knob to compatible advanced adjustment systems. This modular design allows the scope to remain simple for traditional hunting while providing an upgrade path for hunters who want a custom ballistic elevation knob or other advanced adjustment option.

Fixed 100-Yard Parallax

The Fullfield 3-12x42mm #201531 uses a fixed 100-yard parallax setting. The fixed design eliminates the need for a separate parallax adjustment and keeps the scope simple to operate in the field. For traditional hunting applications, this provides a straightforward setup with fewer controls to manage during a fast-moving hunt.

Why Choose the Fullfield 3-12x42mm Plex?

The Burris Fullfield 3-12x42mm #201531 is a strong choice for hunters who want more magnification than a conventional 3-9x scope while retaining a simple Plex reticle. Its 3-12x power range, 42mm objective, compact 11.1-inch length, 14.7-ounce weight, and rugged construction make it well suited to deer, elk, and other big-game hunting where shot distances can vary considerably.
