They set out to make a scope made from super strong materials coupled with premium optics to give the hunter and shooter the ultimate in shooting optics.
The Titanium's main tube is made from machined titanium, the same tough alloy used in the aerospace industry. Titanium is light weight, but it's strength to weight ratio is higher than that of steel. There's almost no way you can break this scope. They can take a beating like no other and still operate properly.
Burris coats the Black Diamond Titanium with vapor deposition Aluminum-Titanium-Nitride coating. Getting paint to stick to titanium is tricky, and it's usually anodized. But Burris when with the high tech solution. This finish is so tough it will not flake, crack or chip.
The heart of any scope is the optics. The Burris Black Diamond scope has precision machined lenses made from ultra-pure, ground and polished glass to transmit a maximum amount of light. Then, each lens is coated using a multi-step process that protects the lenses so well they are scratch proof, not scratch resistant.
Clarity throughout the range of magnification is excellent. If you shoot in marginal light situations you'll really appreciate the quality of the optics.
The special coating that Burris uses makes the lenses so smooth that water easily beads up and drips off. Obviously this is a great benefit on raining or snowy days.
Recoil from high-powered magnum rounds can force the eye bell to impact your face. I've personally gotten a black eye shooting a 7mm Magnum using a scope with a short eye relief. Not so with the Black Diamond Titanium scope. The 3-1/2 to 4 inch eye relief provides plenty of room between your eye and the scope.
The elevation and windage adjustments are very smooth and offer a fine 1/8 in. minute of adjustment at 100 yards. You can zero in your rifle with precision and it's easy to do so.
The Black Diamond Titanium is available with Plex and Ballistic Mil-Dot reticle. The Ballistic Mil-Dot has a graduated scale to easily account for longer shots and wind situations you often run into.
The scope also comes with Storm Queen style lens covers.
All Burris scopes are made in the USA and come with the Forever Warranty. If a Burris scope every breaks, Burris will repair or replace the scope, even if you're not the original owner.
Burris Black Diamond Scope
The claim to fame of Burris is the quality of their optics. They take great pride in putting quality optics in all their scopes. Burris also builds scopes to endure the rigors of hunting and target shooting. All scopes are sealed and nitrogen filled to keep the optics from fogging up and keep the scope waterproof.
When you're out in the field or in the middle of a competition the last thing you need is for your scope to let you down. Burris will deliver the dependability you demand.
The Burris Black Diamond scope is a premium, high quality scope designed to compete with the best brands from Europe at a lower cost. This scope exhibits precision quality construction and materials and will satisfy even the most critical shooter or hunter.
The critical part of the Black Diamond is the select lenses that Burris utilizes. They are produced from ultra-pure, ground and polished glass to transmit a maximum amount of light. These marvelous optics return a tremendously sharp resolution and brightness giving you an advantage in long range competition events and hunting for big game.
Image brightness, clarity and image purity throughout the power limits is spectacular.
The premium optics will benefit the shooter in two ways. First, the view of the target will be a clear as it can be, enabling the shooter to hit the target that he's aiming at. Second, in low light situations quality optics will gather more light and make the target appear brighter. The obvious advantage during the early morning and later in the day hunting conditions when game is the most active.
To increase precision ever further, a side parallax adjustment is employed. This allows for extremely exact parallax adjustment, a shorter overall scope length, reduced mounting height and decreased weight.
The elevation and right to left adjustments are nice to operate and clearly graduated.
Overall, the Black Diamond is a high quality scope with no compromises. You can hunt or competitively shoot this scope for a long time and never want for another.
