    XTR III Illuminated in my hands

    Only MOA and SCR-2 at this time.

    Burris XTR Pro 🇺🇸

    Best guess based on the hex head size is 6-40 (fine) thread. This is for the lever that fits the XTR3. Don't know if they are the same for the Pro

    Build tips for an accurate AR-9 PCC

    Tight groups at 100yds with a 9mm is beyond the scope of the caliber/weapon. Now, a 50yd group is another thing all together and is completely possible. Once the 9mm starts to loose velocity, it starts to drop quickly. Add in all the other variables like wind, load consistency, etc. and it just...

    Burris XTR Pro 🇺🇸

    I really hope Burris doesn't start getting off-track.... powder coat or paint on a handling surface cannot end well. It's just not durable enough and while I don't baby my gear, I don't want it to look like I drag it behind my truck.

    XTR III Illuminated 3.3-18x50 - Anyone receive one yet that can compare to the US made non-illuminated version?

    Since I don't have one of the US made models, I can't compare the two. But, compared to my Steiner Military 4-16 (German made), and several Leupold older Mk4s, it holds it's own very well. Resolution is better than my Vortex PST Gen 2 3-15x44 and the reticle (SCR2) on the XTR 3 is actually...

    XTR III Illuminated in my hands

    Funny how the stars aligned this time. If it were not for a Burris Warranty Claim, I really would not have been in the market for another scope as I probably have too many already (if that's possible). Once I got the notification that my previous Burris was not repairable, I started looking at...

    XTR III Illuminated in my hands

    Birddog, you are probably right about the windage. I'm already adjusting my habits (which are hard to break) when using a xmas tree reticle. I know it will be faster than dialing but old dog, new trick syndrome at work here. I may still get lucky with a "I don't need this part" person and I'll...

    XTR III Illuminated in my hands

    I'll work on getting that for you. I don't know how "aggressive" the originals were but these give good grip without shredding your fingers. The illumination cap is another story and can be used as a edged weapon....... not really but when you insert the battery and tighten it up, you will...

    XTR III Illuminated in my hands

    Yeah, options are always nice. After all these years it's hard to justify changing the process but I'm liking the scope enough that I will re-train myself. Not really a big deal but if somebody offers one, I sure won't turn it down! So I'm not just ragging on a minor detail...... a closer look...

    XTR III Illuminated in my hands

    First impressions are quite favorable. This is the 3.3-18x and even with my old eyes, at the lowest power, I can clearly read the reticle! Not too thin or too big, about perfect IMO. Only had it for a couple of hours so not ready for a review just yet...... I did find that an exposed windage...

    Vortex VIP Warranty I Not Ready For Prime Time

    My complaint with optics manufactures is the lack of communication (except Vortex). I know they are all busy building scopes but really! An email, text, phone call, should be part of every "real" company's code of conduct. We spend our dollars and expect status updates. I can accept even further...

    What's the deal with SBRs?

    Yes, it's true! You can use a 16" upper with the lower while waiting for the approval. It does not become an SBR until you add a barrel shorter than 16". The reason it's not in jail is because you are the manufacture using a Form 1 for the SBR. A suppressor or other Form 4 item would be held at...

    Are there any AR 15’s made that you can count on shooting half MOA

    All my rifles and pistols shoot .5 moa or less on the moon! Even my shotguns are .5 moa or less!

    Pinning Front sight

    Regarding the pinning of a FS..... you will need a jig to hold everything in place and align so it's not canted to one side or the other. Unless you are a machinist with the associated shop, you are better off using one that clamps. I have one that took an original forged FS and was drilled...

    Bering Optics D760 - Disassembly

    Mine isn't a Bering Optics but it is a D760. I believe the housings are the same though...... looking at mine, it must come out from the objective end but I don't see anything that looks like it loosens. If I were to guess, there is probably a lock ring (or several) that needs to be removed...

    Bering Optics D760 - Disassembly

    Good Morning! This one probably needs to be sent in for repair. Even if you were able to disassemble, unless you are set up for NV repair, you won't be able to purge the unit upon reassembly. Maybe obvious but are the battery contacts free of corrosion? I don't know if there are parts...

    XTR III Illuminated 3.3-18x50 - Anyone receive one yet that can compare to the US made non-illuminated version?

    Ordered directly from Burris..... 3.3-18x50mm SCR 2 MIL, Illum just shipped today so those orders are being filled and shipped! Mine should be here this Thursday 07-14-22!

    Vortex VIP Warranty I Not Ready For Prime Time

    Respectfully, unless you know the market share, speculation on how many scopes are returned for repair with any manufacture is a pure guess. You hear about Vortex because they are doing a good job. It does not matter who makes the scope, they all are susceptible to manufacturing defects and/or...

    Vortex VIP Warranty I Not Ready For Prime Time

    Have you ever dealt with another scope manufacture? You would be waiting months for a repair. Keep you cool and they will bend over backwards to get you happy.... they will probably bend over even if you don't keep your cool.
