Burris Veracity 5-25x50mm Rifle Scope: Mastering Long-Range Precision and Varmint Hunting

Are you an avid long-range shooter, a dedicated varmint hunter, or a competitive precision rifle enthusiast looking to push the boundaries of your accuracy? Do you frequently ask questions like "What is the best scope for long-range hunting?", "How does a First Focal Plane (FFP) reticle benefit precision shooting?", or "What features should I look for in a high-magnification rifle scope for varmints or PRS?" If these questions resonate with you, then the Burris Veracity 5-25x50mm rifle scope is designed to provide comprehensive answers and deliver unparalleled performance.

The Burris Veracity 5-25x50mm, specifically model 200650, represents the pinnacle of modern rifle optics, engineered for shooters who demand exceptional clarity, robust adjustability, and reliable repeatable performance over extended distances. It seamlessly bridges the gap between the demanding world of long-range precision rifle matches and the critical accuracy required for ethical long-range hunting, particularly for smaller targets like varmints. This versatile optic offers a harmonious blend of optical excellence and mechanical precision, making it a top-tier choice for serious shooters.

Unlocking Unrivaled Clarity and Magnification

At the core of the Burris Veracity 5-25x50mm's exceptional capability is its powerful 5-25x magnification range, coupled with a generous 50mm objective lens. This 5-times zoom system provides incredible versatility, allowing shooters to quickly transition from a wide field of view at 5x for spotting targets and maintaining situational awareness to a highly magnified 25x for precise shot placement on distant or diminutive targets.

Why is 5-25x Magnification Ideal for Long-Range and Varmint Hunting?

• Target Identification: At 25x, even small varmints like prairie dogs or groundhogs become clearly discernible at extreme distances, allowing for positive identification and precise aiming. For long-range steel targets, the high magnification helps resolve target details and previous impacts.
• Precision Aiming: Higher magnification minimizes perceived target size, enabling finer adjustments to the point of aim, which is crucial for maximizing accuracy at 600 yards and beyond.
• Versatility for Various Ranges: The lower 5x setting is excellent for closer shots, wider scanning, or when tracking moving game, preventing the tunnel vision that can occur with fixed high-power scopes.
• Light Gathering: The 50mm objective lens works in tandem with the magnification to gather ample light, ensuring a bright, clear image even in challenging lighting conditions, such as dawn or dusk, which are often prime times for varmint activity. The large exit pupil at lower magnifications further enhances low-light performance.

Precision Engineering: The Ballistic Plex E1 FFP Varmint Reticle

One of the defining features of the Burris Veracity 5-25x50mm is its advanced Ballistic Plex E1 FFP Varmint Reticle. This First Focal Plane (FFP) reticle is a game-changer for long-range shooting, ensuring that the reticle's subtensions remain accurate and proportional to the target regardless of the magnification setting.

Understanding the First Focal Plane (FFP) Advantage

• Consistent Subtensions: Unlike Second Focal Plane (SFP) reticles where subtensions are only accurate at one specific magnification (usually the highest), an FFP reticle scales with the image. This means that any holdovers, windage corrections, or ranging calculations using the reticle's markings are always accurate, whether you're at 5x or 25x.
• Enhanced Ranging Capabilities: For varmint hunters, accurate ranging is paramount. The Ballistic Plex E1 FFP Varmint Reticle allows shooters to use the reticle's built-in stadia lines for accurate target sizing and distance estimation at any magnification, streamlining the shooting process.
• Dynamic Holdover Points: As magnification increases, the reticle appears larger, providing more precise aiming points for long-range engagements without obscuring the target. Conversely, at lower magnifications, the reticle becomes finer, offering a clear field of view while still providing essential holdover references.

The Ballistic Plex E1 FFP Varmint Reticle Explained

The Ballistic Plex E1 Varmint reticle is specifically optimized for shots on small targets at extended ranges. It features:

• Cascading Windage Dots: These dots extend out on the horizontal axis, providing quick and precise wind hold-off references for various wind speeds without having to dial adjustments. This is invaluable in dynamic field conditions.
• Unique Design for Varmint Hunting: The reticle's design accounts for the typical trajectories and target sizes encountered in varmint shooting, offering intuitive holdover points that simplify complex ballistic calculations in the field.
• Clean Sight Picture: Despite its functionality, the reticle maintains a clean and uncluttered sight picture, ensuring the shooter can focus on the target without distraction.

Unwavering Adjustability and Repeatability

The Burris Veracity 5-25x50mm is equipped with precision-engineered adjustment systems that provide the reliable and repeatable performance critical for long-range accuracy.

• Multi-Turn Target Knobs: The scope features multi-turn target knobs that offer up to 15 MOA of adjustment per rotation. This substantial per-rotation adjustment reduces the number of turns required for extreme elevation changes, making long-range dialing faster and more intuitive.
• Crisp .25 MOA Clicks: Each click provides a precise .25 MOA adjustment, allowing for incredibly fine tuning of your point of impact. The tactile and audible clicks give shooters confidence in their adjustments, even in high-stress situations.
• Generous Adjustment Range: With 64 MOA of elevation adjustment and 30 MOA of windage adjustment, the Veracity 5-25x50mm provides ample travel for engaging targets at extreme distances, even with cartridges that have significant bullet drop.
• Dual Elevation Cap System: This model ships with both covered and exposed elevation caps, offering shooters the flexibility to choose their preferred setup. The exposed cap is ideal for rapid, in-field adjustments typical of competition or dynamic hunting scenarios, while the covered cap provides protection against accidental adjustments in rugged environments or during transport.
• Side Focus Parallax Adjustment: The side focus parallax adjustment allows for quick and easy parallax correction from 50 yards to infinity, ensuring a crisp, clear image and eliminating potential aiming errors caused by parallax, especially critical at high magnifications and long ranges.

Optical Excellence and Robust Construction

Burris is renowned for its commitment to optical quality and rugged durability, and the Veracity series exemplifies this heritage.

• Fully Multi-Coated Optics: Every air-to-glass surface of the Burris Veracity 5-25x50mm is fully multi-coated. This meticulous coating process maximizes light transmission, virtually eliminating glare and internal reflections, and enhancing contrast, resolution, and color fidelity. The result is a remarkably bright and clear image, even in challenging low-light conditions.
• High-Grade Optical Glass: Utilizing premium optical glass, the Veracity delivers sharp edge-to-edge clarity, allowing shooters to discern minute details at extended distances, which is vital for precise shot placement.
• Robust 30mm Main Tube: The scope is built around a robust 30mm main tube, machined from aerospace-grade aluminum. This larger tube diameter not only provides superior strength and rigidity but also allows for a wider range of internal adjustment, contributing to the scope's impressive elevation and windage travel.
• Matte Black Finish: The non-reflective matte black finish helps prevent glare and reflections, ensuring the shooter remains concealed and minimizing the chance of spooking game or giving away a position during competitive events.
• Waterproof, Fogproof, and Shockproof: The Burris Veracity is meticulously engineered to withstand the harshest environmental conditions. It is nitrogen-purged to prevent internal fogging duetaining an impervious seal that keeps out moisture and dust. The sturdy construction ensures it can endure recoil from powerful magnum cartridges and impacts from accidental drops, maintaining its zero under extreme stress. This level of reliability means you can trust your optic when it matters most, whether you're facing torrential rain, dense fog, or the inevitable bumps and knocks of field use.
