pprochnow , what caliber rifle are you shooting with this scope ?
I'm wondering if it will hold up to my BEAST , 300 WM with 210 grain Bergers at 2900 fps ?

I did a tour of the Burris facility week or so ago. Got to fondle the scopes. ...
Also checked out the 8-40. The bottom cross bar disappears at full power. I think it will be a big hit. .
New rifle and scope setup, so groups will depend on how my hand loads perform. It's on a tikka, so I am hopeful that it won't be picky. I will do a box test on my first outing if the varget/sst combo agrees with her. The illumination assembly is light years ahead the original xtr. Glass is clear and resolution is good. Yesterday I watched a wasp building a nest, about 90 yards away.
i'm curious about a side by side with the PST
This is the 8-40 XTR-II.
Ran a 100 rounds through my F-Open rifle yesterday with this scope. Light loaded 284 Win, with 180 Hybrids.
Have you ever went to the range and realize you left your drop chart at home? (Grrr!) Some technology no my iPhone helped me out.
I shot out to 1000 yards, but really just got used to the scope. Really like the reticle and the turrets. I also used it to make wind calls for a guy shooting his 338 Lapua Improved at 2073 yards. I shot his rifle later on at the same distance with success-different topic.
I had my wind down (shooting at that distance already) and put 10 shots at 800 yards.
Good conditions, NEO Rest, stupid accurate rifle, and a really nice scope.
40x with a 50mm objective huh?
How's the resolution at 40x?
I'd guess the brightness and eyebox have to suffer a bit with a 50mm objective and 1.25mm exit pupil.
I'm really hoping these scopes are as good as the specs indicate. I'll be hard pressed not to at least try one out.
Oh, and, nice shooting! That rifle gets it done!
Birddog6424 said:I am excited to see these come in, but I'm very disappointed with Burris' roll out of this product. Text book over-promise under-deliver.
I'd say they promised and under supplied is all, which happens with just about everything highly demanded product upon its release.

As posted previously. The Military/LEO program is 50% MSRP on Burris website and is good for one scope, rings and bases a year.
How do I get in on this action?
