Wanted to hear from anyone with experience with this so far. I have had the previous DMR, DMR2, XRS2, and the consensus is that it has increasingly better glass as newer models come out. It sounds like the DMR2 Pro is the closest comparison but I havent looked through one. I currently have an NX8 4-32 that I use on a variety of rifles, but I can't get over the DMRs. Very intriguing I guess. So maybe my question is what optic they compare to glass wise?
 
I have not owned any of the previous DMRs, so can’t speak to that. But I do have the DMR3 and it blew my old NX8 2.5-20 out of the water.

To me, it has better glass, especially at higher powers, than my 3.6-18 mark 5, specifically with regard to overall resolution and CA. Not better than the 5-25 Mark 5 though.

In my humble opinion, there isn’t a better value for the price right now.
 
That's good to hear. The DMR2 didn't have the greatest clarity I thought, but certainly wasn't bad. The NX8 has held its own with lots of scopes that I've tried, so if the DMR3 is in that league or better, I'm going to give it a shot. I love the mark 5 3.6-18 but the minimum parallax of 50 and reticle choices didn't make it to one of my options (loved the glass in it tho).
