    Ok Thanks!

    XTR III Illuminated in my hands

    Curious, did they just send you a new one or did you return your original for proper milling?

    XTR III Illuminated in my hands

    Glad you posted. I ordered the lever way before the scope arrived and had not installed it. Same issue as you so I'll give CS a call. You are right.... it is so smooth I didn't even think to add the throw lever. Thanks for the heads-up!

    I opened a CS case asking/begging for one. All of Texas will be indebted to you if you just happened to mention it next time the chance comes up!:cool:

    XTR III Illuminated in my hands

    When I started this thread, I was sure someone would say "I've got one" but to no avail at this point. Let's keep calling Burris and asking, maybe they'll reconsider. It's should be a simple supply chain item since it fits the XTR 3 non illuminated, the illuminated, and the Pro..... Birddog...

    Can you do it again and see if groups? Suppressor groups are always interesting! Glad you came out on the good side of a potentially bad situation!

    Cryptic coatings questions

    Nothing wrong with ToolCraft. Regarding chrome lining, unless you are running in FA, it won't make a difference..... as an example, if you are willing to run an nitride or melonite barrel, the bullet traveling down the bore produces more of everything compared to the gas key or bolt bore. The...

    New toy.........Armalite AR10 National Match

    Good Score! I always wondered why Armalite didn't mark their barrels. Got mine in 2007 so guess they started marking after that! Enjoy.... they are great shooters and rival a bolt gun with the right ammo.

    Here's a page from Burris. Even though it says "in MOA" I believe it is mil for the dimensions https://www.burrisoptics.com/reticles/scr-2

    New toy.........Armalite AR10 National Match

    Are you sure it is a 1:10? I have 2 older Armalites and they are 1:11.25" twist. Originally set up for 168gr Match but mine shoot great all the way up to 175gr. My barrels are not marked but came directly from Armalite.

    XTR III Illuminated in my hands

    As politely as I can comment...... are you just pissed because they didn't run any of their business decisions past you before they made the changes? Don't worry, you are safe as nobody is going to make you buy one! Cheers!

    Xtriii or ?

    Not sure a photo will give you what you want.... I did notice that the windage "cap" is noticeably sharper than the elevation turret but you really don't crank on a cap so it does not matter. The turret inside is GTG. If you look at the edge of the turret, you'll see that it isn't aggressive or...

    Xtriii or ?

    I've mentioned it before but I'll try again..... I received a new 3.3-18 illuminated a week ago. The turrets are no longer sharp to the touch and work comfortably without issue. Anybody buying one of the new Philippine manufactured models will not have a problem. Now, anybody with a USA windage...

    224 Valkyrie

    Purchased a complete upper from PSA back in 2020 for $300 with a 20" stainless 1:6.5 twist. Loves the factory Federal 90 gr Gold Metal Match. shoots other weights so-so at about .75-1.0 moa. Not satisfied I built another 20" using a Faxon Fluted Stainless Nitride same twist as the PSA and it...

    Xtriii or ?

    It's really hard to make comparisons when looking at 2 different power levels without specialized testing equipment to set a baseline. Every human eye perceives differences as the same applies to hearing. When you have 2 scopes of different power levels/ranges, almost impossible to adjust each...

    Xtriii or ?

    I don't have the 5-30 but the 3-18 I received is pretty darn nice even at the upper range. The lower range is the only FFP scope I have used where the reticle is still usable at 3.3x

    I have one and they are made in the Philippines. Exceptional optic!
