I jumped on the internet to locate potential handgun scopes and put together a short list. Several emails later, I had a Burris 3-12x32mm Handgun Scope heading my way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Once the scope arrived, I\u00a0attached it to the Nosler Custom Handgun with a set of Burris Signature Zee Rings. First, I mounted a Leupold Picatinny rail atop the receiver, a Backcountry Cross-Slot, Short Action, 20 MOA (P\/N 175218).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_99828\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Photo1McCombie.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"burris-handgun-scope\" title=\"Gear Review:\u00a0Burris 3-12x32mm Handgun Scope\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-99828\" title=\"Gear Review:\u00a0Burris 3-12x32mm Handgun Scope\" class=\"size-full wp-image-99828\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Photo1McCombie.jpg\" alt=\"Gear Review:\u00a0Burris 3-12x32mm Handgun Scope\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Photo1McCombie.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Photo1McCombie-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Photo1McCombie-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Photo1McCombie-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Photo1McCombie-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-99828\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Burris 3-12x32mm Handgun Scope mounted on the author\u2019s Nosler M48 Handgun.<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">I use scopes all the time\u2014rifle scopes. While I have used handgun-mounted scopes, at the range and in the field, these are still relatively \u201coccasional-use\u201d optics for me. So, my learning curve started with me adjusting to the very long eye relief on the Burris Handgun Scope. I kept wanting to push in for a closer look, but of course with a long eye relief scope getting closer results in a visual blackout.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">For my eyes, I found the optimum eye relief with the Burris 3-12 was in the 12- to 13-inch range, depending on the magnification. I had to keep the scope and handgun very, very still or the smallish sight picture jumped around too much for accurate shooting.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_99829\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Photo2McCombie.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"burris-handgun-scope\" title=\"Gear Review:\u00a0Burris 3-12x32mm Handgun Scope\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-99829\" title=\"Gear Review:\u00a0Burris 3-12x32mm Handgun Scope\" class=\"size-full wp-image-99829\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Photo2McCombie.jpg\" alt=\"Gear Review:\u00a0Burris 3-12x32mm Handgun Scope\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Photo2McCombie.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Photo2McCombie-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Photo2McCombie-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Photo2McCombie-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Photo2McCombie-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-99829\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The author needed approximately 12-to13-inches of eye relief with the Burris Handgun Scope.<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">Zeroing the scope and handgun was easy.

I also set up a night light for hog hunting on a feeder at 100 yards away. While no hogs showed up, the windy conditions kept setting off the night light. In the greenish glow of the hog light, the Burris Handgun Scope provided more than enough illumination that I could\u2019ve made a successful, accurate shot, had Porky Pig and his Cousins showed up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It&#8217;s also a fairly rugged scope. I didn\u2019t drop test it, but the Burris-topped Nosler got a lot of bouncing around in trucks and hunting stands, and the zero never changed. I know about the zero because I practiced with the Nosler during lunch breaks while on my hunt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Still, this is not a full-sized rifle scope, and smallish 32mm-tube and relatively short length simply are not going to pull in the light like a rifle optic. Translation: the view is a bit darker than a rifle scope.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">All in all, the Burris 3-12x32mm Handgun Scope is a handy and compact, and will easily get the job done for hunting and recreational shooting. The suggested retail is a little hefty, but I found this scope on the web for $100 off the suggested price.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_99833\" style=\"width: 1209px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Photo6McCombie.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"burris-handgun-scope\" title=\"Gear Review:\u00a0Burris 3-12x32mm Handgun Scope\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-99833\" title=\"Gear Review:\u00a0Burris 3-12x32mm Handgun Scope\" class=\"size-full wp-image-99833\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Photo6McCombie.jpg\" alt=\"Gear Review:\u00a0Burris 3-12x32mm Handgun Scope\" width=\"1199\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Photo6McCombie.jpg 1199w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Photo6McCombie-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Photo6McCombie-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Photo6McCombie-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Photo6McCombie-1024x769.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1199px) 100vw, 1199px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-99833\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Burris Handgun Scope took some good bouncing around, in hunting blinds and vehicles, and held zero.<\/p><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"p1\">Specs:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Burris 3-12x32mm Handgun Scope<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Magnification:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>3 to 12 power<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Reticle:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Burris Ballistic\u00a0Plex\u2122<br \/>\nFinish: Matte\u00a0Black<br \/>\nTurrets: Capped<br \/>\nObjective\u00a0lens: \u00a044\u00a0mm<br \/>\nOcular\u00a0lens: 38mm<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Tube Size:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>32mm<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Tube Material: Aluminum<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Field of View: at 100 yards, 14 feet at\u00a0lowest magnification, 4 ft. highest magnification<br \/>\nEye\u00a0Relief: \u00a010\u00a0to 19\u00a0in.\u00a0at\u00a0low magnification,\u00a010 to 12.5\u00a0in.\u00a0at\u00a0high<br \/>\nClick\u00a0Value, elevation and windage adjustments: \u00a01\/8\u00a0in.\u00a0@\u00a0100\u00a0yds.<br \/>\nParallax Adjustments: 7\u00a0yds.\u00a0to Infinity<br \/>\nLength:\u00a010.8\u00a0in.<br \/>\nWeight:\u00a016.0\u00a0oz.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">MSRP: $539.00<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Visit Burris Optics to learn more about their products by clicking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.burrisoptics.com\" campaign=\"BURRIS_OPTICS\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: center\"><b><a href=\"\u201chttps:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/Search.aspx?Keyword=optics\u201d\" campaign=\"BURRISOPTICS\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">***Shop GunsAmerica for optics***<\/a><\/b><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On a recent South Texas hunt with the Nosler M48 Handgun, the Burris 3-12 let me see well enough to shoot right up to dark and then several minutes beyond.
