The only thing that is in stock is the XTR II with the non-xmas tree reticles. I dont know if I trust placing a backorder for a XTR III or Pro.Seems like some good deals:

Maybe something that rhymes with Schmiberty popsicle.Why woukd you not trust a backorder?
That doesn't rhyme.Maybe something that rhymes with Schmiberty popsicle.
No kidding, he could have come up with something closer like Bibberty Cocktricks.That doesn't rhyme.
Are you joking? Have you never heard of EuroOptic before? EuroOptic has been around for a VERY long time. They're an exceptional company. They just built a HUGE showroom in PA where they have pretty much one of everything they sell on display for you to get hands-on with. They're one of the most legit optics dealers you can buy from. They even have guys here on the forum that work for them like @Euro.Connor . They're not just some random jackleg selling shit out of his basement/garage like that Liberty Optics douchebag. They actually have a brick & mortar showroom floor.The only thing that is in stock is the XTR II with the non-xmas tree reticles. I dont know if I trust placing a backorder for a XTR III or Pro.
I've had that same scope for over a year now... You're going to like it. At the $1000 sales price, it's almost stupid NOT to buy one. You'll see why once you get it outside and look through it.I guess we get to see what the fuss is a about
@redneckbmxer24 we gotta test this. I have the USA 3-18 and my Steiner too
I suspect the closeout is when burris runs out of stock rather then the dealersI always find that amusing.......is it really a "closeout" when you're taking backorders for new stock to be filled at a later date? Semantics on some level sure, but word choice really does matter.
I grabbed one. The glass is very good, especially for the price. I’d say it is on par with the MK5 and MK6s, maybe slightly better in low light.
Mechanically turrets are very positive, better than my MK6 for sure. I don’t know why folks are crying about the texture on the turrets, maybe spend a day outside your cubicle or harden the fuck up, idk.
I’d say the reticle is optimal between 8-18x. Maybe I’m getting old, but I found the reticle most usable through those power ranges.
I’m pretty impressed by it at the sub $1000 price range. Might look at an XTR Pro for my next boltgun build.
I’m sure this might have been mentioned somewhere in the last 4 pages of this thread, but do any of you know how a XTR III or Pro compares to a Cronus BTR? I have a Cronus BTR and I really like it and I’m looking for another scope for a 20” 308 build. A 3-18 would work great and I don’t really need the power of the Cronus, but the recent used prices on the Cronus plus the fact I already have one, could sway me unless these XTR III’s in the 3-18 are really that good. Also, if I remember correctly, the 3-18‘s made in the Philippines are better than the dandruff Dan USA made units?
I had a 3.3-18 XTR3i for a short time. Sent it to Burris as it was horrible in low light at or above 15x. They sent it back saying it was withing spec. I sold it right after.I think all the pros and cons of the XTR3i have been touched on ITT. They are solid scopes and IMO they’ve been the best “value” optic around $1000 for the past couple years. Previously that was the Cronus. I suspect the new Leupold mk4 will take that spot. Glass, controls and weight will all be superior to the XTR series. Tradeoff will be FOV. Reticles are in the eye of the beholder.
Since we’re hating on Burris, I’ll say I tried 3 separate XTR pros and was unimpressed with all of them. Marginally better than the XTR3i but not worth the uncharge. Also not a peer to razors, mk5 or nx8/ATACR.
