Know one thing, there is three 6x24 XTR's that I know and they are great, not dogcrap. My two friends love theirs. Been doing 500, 1,000 yards and even a one mile shoots. By the way my turrets aren't mushy.I'm not trying to start an arguement, but these scopes are barely even showing up in stores yet people are plunking down $1200 for them. Then when I read a few reports of mushy turrets, it makes me skeptical. The original XTR's were dogcrap, so not sure why the new ones are so sought after already. I'll admit, I am interested in hearing positive feedback. If they really are the real deal, but for $500 less than the competition, then sign me up.
i called burris about a month ago to inquire about a LE/MIL discount, and they said they don't give one anymore?
I remember that the Viper PST had pretty good feeling turrets. I don't remember anything about the feel of the XTR II turrets. That is probably not a bad thing. If they felt terrible I would probably remember it.
As for the origin, the more you learn, the more you realize this is truly meaningless. Companies can move equipment and expertise wherever taxes, labor costs, and regulations are friendly (and this means basically anywhere but the U.S.). For example, Nikon now produces many high end Nikkor lenses and most of the premier line in Chinese facilities and the quality has not suffered. The story of many of these optics when it comes to glass, components, design, and assembly is so convoluted that it makes my head hurt. I have heard rumors that OEM's sometimes even subcontract to other OEM's without the brand knowing it resulting in a situation where there is literally no one person who knows who is responsible for every part of the manufacture. It kind of reminds me of the electronics industry in that way. Really, at that point it comes down to the brand to police the end product. I can't say it is a situation that I find ideal, or even one that I think would naturally occur outside of the effect of national and local politics over a myriad of nationalities on localities, but I think that is is more or less the way things are today if you want to produce a product that is very price competitive for the quality offered.
Actually, many probably are home, getting a government check and playing Call of Duty in their mom's basement.
We can't sell them as cheap as Dvor but we aren't gay either. Manliness comes at a price.

Serious question, "can't" or "won't"?
I recently purchased a Burris XTRII 3x15x50 from CSTactical
What scope mount are you running on that nice looking AR? How much clearance are you getting, if you don't mind me asking CS.. I am seriously looking to get one of these soon for my AR build and had been checking out mounts as well..
I do not know Dovr's price but we will do or best to MEET or BEAT anyone's price on these scopes just ASK.

Here's my 4-20 on top of my LMT MWS.
Sorry FNG, my camera doesn't take through the scope pics to well. I'll try again though my next time out.
No worries, how would you rate the scope so far with tracking etc, have you done any box testing or anything?
I have spent some time with the 8-40 and ran it through a few tests, figured I would give the feedback..
did a tracking test and the set up I am running allowed for 33 moa of adjustment up and was verified at 5 moa intervals through 30 moa repeatedly
windage verified to 10 moa in either direction in 2.5 moa increments
also compared the reticle to a scale set at 100 yards and it matches nicely
as for optical quality I have no scientific test but I can say that it is possible to watch a bird adjusting his feathers at 540 yards and actually be able to tell that's what he was doing.. hows that for a scientific test? lol
now a few hundred rounds into the scope and I am happy.. have no complaints and will be buying another if they make a moa version of the 5-25
turrets are functional and unless you are shooting in a battle field you should be able to make the adjustments without looking, if you need to verify the turret markings are easily distinguished in my opinion though
zero stop is simple to reset and impossible to miss zero once set
the only part of this box I was unhappy with was the little flip caps they send with it.. need to get a real set of covers to put on the optic
I did some testing that measured out spot on with the 8-40 model
