Rifle Scopes Burris XTR II vs SWFA / HDMR

[rippit]

Just looking for feedback from people who have a new Burris and have owned either a SWFA 5-20 or HDMR. and how they think the new Burris scopes stack up against them. I own a HDMR and a SWFA and think both are as good as you can get for the money.

Any of the three are solid choices. My next scope is going to be 5-20 HD SWFA.

I haven't been able to test out the Burris XTR II yet, but I've heard good things about them. I have heard that the glass quality is about on pad with Vortex's PST line, maybe slightly better. The Bushnell DMR is a solid scope with a good reputation for the overall value. The G2 reticle is favored by many shooters and are willing to give up some features just to have the reticle. The SWFA 5-20 is a great scope for the money, although of the 3 it's the most expensive of the bunch (unless you are going for the 10mil zero stop Bushnell scope). The glass in the SWFA will be the best of the bunch, and it has 10mil per rotation turrets. The reticle on the SWFA is liked by most and some don't care for it. I really like the reticle and I find it to be a solid improvement over the standard mil dot reticle. Out of the three scopes I'm very biased to the SWFA scope. I think that they are awesome scopes, especially for the money. Even Lowlight said they are a good value and a solid scope. You will probably be happy with any of the scopes mentioned, but I would choose the SWFA.
