Also received my xtr3i today. Haven’t had time to look at it yet. Hoping to get to the range this week or next where I can compare it to a G2 razor and Ares ETR. Thanks for the great deal Scott
Thanks for sharing your results, I look forward to seeing the final outcome. Will you be using one of the various lapping tools (like this one) or turning it on a lathe/mill?
That is the same spec that was quoted when the non illuminated version was only one available. Supposedly the illuminated is thicker but I don’t think Burris has stated that officially. So perhaps that spec is outdated or perhaps the reticle is the same thickness as the first version of the scope.
Ordered a bartlein 223 wylde from Craddock Nov 22. Received an email with shipping info today, 4 months later. Was also expecting a 6-8 month wait based on their estimate when I placed the order.
Cameralandny has a sale on the burris XTR3 non-illuminated version. $1000 for the 3.3-18x version with either the SCR or SCR2 reticles. FOV on this scope at 3.3x mag is actually larger than at 2.5x on the GLx (37.7' vs 35.8' @100yds) so the higher minimum magnification should not be a concern...
These are now listed on the burris website. Link for the 3-18: https://www.burrisoptics.com/scopes/xtr-iii/xtr-iii-illuminated-3.3-18x50mm MSRP is ~ $550 less than the non illuminated version, supposedly in stores March of 2022. @gr8fuldoug will you be getting these in March?
Seems like a great value. I was “in” even at an expected price increase of 1-2 hundred for illum. Should be a pretty easy sell with a price decrease, excited to compare with my g2 razor.
I like the new knurling on the turrets, mag ring and ocular focus, any idea if that will carry over to the production version? Same glass as the OG version?
