I bought a pair of Burris 8X42 Fullfield 2 binoculars in 2008. They worked great until one of the extendible eye cups fell off in the middle of December 2018.
I contacted Burris Customer Service and was instructed to sent them in for repair or replacement. They provided a printed mailing address and authorization but I had to pay the shipping which ran around $11.00.
Yesterday UPS delivered a brand new pair of Burris Droptine 8X42 binoculars. I like them even better than the Fullfield 2’s. Extremely clear lenses, slimmer profile and fully rubber coated.
The complete turn around time was just three weeks.

The replacement was obviously of less quality than the ones he sent in, but the model he had was discontinued.

Same model as my brothers as well. I always felt they were pretty good, the rogue are ok, but not near as nice. They weigh 1/2 as much probably.

10 years ago I spent $199.00 for the Fullfield 2’s on sale at Cabelas. The Droptines are currently listed for $249.00.
The price of Optics hasn’t changed much in that time. The quality sometimes changes, good and bad but I think I got an even trade.

I have to send my Burris binos in soon for the eyecup issue as well. Im going to try to get them repaired rather than replaced because they were a birthday present from my Dad. Will see how it goes.

Give them a call. The tech I spoke to said they keep a bone yard of warranty returns and will repair if they have suitable parts for the older models.
