The Burris is a better scope and the Weaver is as good for a lot less money. First, forget the 2x. If you must have a scope go with a fixed 4x. I have owned several copies of the 2x, 4x and variable by Leupold. The 4x is just a better choice. It gives some magnification and still retains a large field of view. The 2x appears, in use, to have no magnification at all. With the V scopes, all of them, the increase in power results in a shorter eye relief and reduced focal cone diameter. What you do not need is a 500 held up close to your face.

The other side of the coin is that if you want a large field of view with no magnification go with the red dot 2 moa. The best 2 moa dot is made by Gilmore, now Leupold/Gilmore. Nothing matches the red dots for field of view except iron sights.
