Anyone own or has owned both the burris XTR-3 5 x 30 and the Tract Toric 4.5 x 30 give me some comparisons on these scopes.? Better glass, FOV etc.
 
Burris all day. XTR3 FOV blows away the Toric. Toric has a "tunnel, or black ring" effect worse than many other optics.
Image quality is probably the same, but Field Of View and clean edge to edge "view" makes the Burris an easy choice. I've had both, still have several XTR3 5.5-30x56

Not to mention the blowout prices at cameraland
 
Anyone else opinion on this?
I’m no expert on the XTR3, but my XTR1 was just ok after a warranty repair they were reluctant about. My XTR2 was grainy at high power and closer targets. These things caused me to choose the TT 4-20x over the XTR3. The Tract has performed well on my rifle without this thick outer ring I’m reading here about.
