Burris xtrii thoughts?

[Red9]

Probably should have asked before I committed.
Rifle is psa ar10 18.5 barrel.
So how good is the burris xtr? 5x25x50 was only 700. With the 34 mm tube.
Thoughts?

Been looking at same scope, reviews look pretty good... been trying to decide between that one the vortex pst gen 2... great deal on that Burris though...

Crap and I see zeiss has a scope in the price point. I should have got the zeiss

Looks like the 1200$ Zeiss is second focal plane, FYI...

Good to know. Also I found out the zeiss is made in Asia! What? With Asian made glass.
So I guess Burris ftw?

I looked for where they were made in, couldn’t find it. I think Burris is Philippines... might be 6/half a dozen

Yes burris is made in the Philippine s. Not sure if thays a good or bad thing?
I had the same scope on another rifle. Seemed to do its job. I'm not a hunter or operator just punch paper and steel.
I sold off that rifle and needed optics for a new build. After combing the internet i kept seeing the xtr as a good choice.
I looked at swvt, vortex, and Nikon amd for the price settled on another Burris.
I hear burris cs isn't the best. But hope i never need the warranty.

I’ve heard they have a great warranty, no questions asked, forever. Haven’t read anything on CS either way, hope it’s not common to need it...

No worries. The newer stuff might be better and if it fails, send it in for warranty work, then sell it after it’s repaired.

But for me, it’s the frustration of wasted ammo and range time working through the issues.

Gas, time, range fees, ammo, etc. Wasted effort in load development. Do it all over again.

Edit: I’m sure many have had good luck with Burris.

The AR10 might be kind of hard on the Burris.

My MP10 beat up my Burris 4x16 three times in less than 1.5 years. Not sure if it was the recoil or the heavy bolt slamming home.
The scope is now on a 24” heavy target .223. I’m hoping it will last longer on that rifle.

My previous ar10 was a JP with the same scope. Factory mounted at jp. Had it for 2 years and it held zero. Maybe 500 rounds or so.
Now I have a cheap psa. Hmmm will see how this goes. Psa is not a soft ahooter vs the jp

I have several XTR2’s (2-10, 3-15, and 4-20) on various rifles. They’re robust, hold zero and track well. No complaints there. The glass is more than adequate for its price point. Complaints have been the glass isn’t bright enough, but my experience has been the opposite. With the impending release of the XTR3 you’re going to find blow out deals on XTR2 stock.

Wow should I have waited?

I found it for 685 delivered, getting close to biting the bullet on it... where’d you get yours Dino?
