Im considering this scope because I love the specs on it, however I never see it on rifles anywhere compared to the Accupower or the Razor. Is there something wrong with it? Why isn’t it very popular?
Rifle Scopes Burris Xtr 2 1-8
- Thread starter Pointman308
- Start date
If I was comparing it to the Razor I'd just say they were in a different class of scope. The XTR is an 8x that can be used at 1x. The Razor is a heavy red dot that can be turned up to 6x.
I think that’s good because I’ll use it more on 8x than I ever will 1x.
Its not a bad thing, just designed with different priorities in mind. Sounds like your priorities align more closely with the XTR's strong suit.
I have had the razors and XTR ii 1-8.
Glass is clearer on the razor, especially at 6x. I feel like the XTR gets a little cloudy from about 5.5 to 8.
FOV is better in the razor.
Reticle in the XTR is far superior in my opinion, and I don't usually like FFP.
Illumination is much better on the Razor.
XTR can be had for much cheaper on the used market.
I only have an XTR ii left, let all my razors go. Like stated above kind of different scopes, especially given the SFP vs FFP.

I was looking at the SFP is that a mistake?
Is the second focal plane version illumination brighter?
Just a heads up, we are down to about 10 of the Burris XTR II 1-8x24 - Ballistic Circle Dot Illuminated at $749.99, and we just got another delivery of the Bushnell Elite Tactical SMRS 1-8.5x24mm - Illuminated BTR-2 for $679.99
I've only looked through the FFP and didn't care for the reticle. On paper I like the SFP reticle better and would think the single illuminated dot would be brighter than the whole reticle ill. on the FFP.
How is the thickness of the crosshairs on the sfp?
I'm not sure where you are looking that you dont see them, but being a Burris guy, I always have my eye out. The are quite common at a 3 Gun match. There are 5 or 6 guys here locally that run them, and I see plenty of them at big matches.
It's a LOT of scope for what they are selling for these days.
