Frequently Asked Questions
What handguns is the Burris 2x20 Plex compatible with?
The Burris 2x20 Plex is compatible with any handgun that accepts a standard scope mount on a 1-inch tube — including single-shot hunting pistols like the Thompson/Center Encore, bolt-action pistols, and magnum revolvers with scope-mounting bases. Because it features a 1-inch tube and standard Weaver-style ring compatibility, mounting options are widely available. Always verify your pistol's mounting platform before purchasing rings.
Why is long eye relief important on a handgun scope, and how much does this model offer?
Long eye relief is critical on a handgun scope because your eye is positioned much farther from the optic than it would be on a rifle — typically 10 to 24 inches away. This distance also protects your eye from the rearward movement of a firearm under heavy magnum recoil. The Burris 2x20 is designed with this extended relief range in mind, making it safe and comfortable to shoot even with hard-kicking calibers like .44 Magnum or .454 Casull.
Is 2x magnification enough for hunting, and when should I choose fixed power over variable?
For most handgun hunting applications — where shots typically fall within 25 to 100 yards — 2x magnification provides more than enough target clarity without narrowing your field of view. Fixed-power scopes like this Burris model have fewer moving parts, making them more durable and reliable in rough hunting conditions. If you regularly take shots beyond 100 yards, a variable-power handgun scope may be worth considering, but for general big-game and hog hunting, the 2x20 is a proven, practical choice.
