Anyone know if the xtrii and xtriii use the same scope cap sizes?
If you notice any discoloration or fuzzyness I would atleast have them check it out. They might give you a newer production xtr2.I like my XTR2, it's the best scope that I own. Had a cert so I just ordered an XTR3.
This late thread debate inspired me to print out one of those eye tests and post it to a pole 100yd down the street. Comparing The XTR2 to an Athlon Argos ($275) and a Vortex Viper($400) the glass is about the same as the Argos and not as clear as the Viper all at 20x
Clear as in ability to read the smallest text.
Argos and XTR2 I could make out most of 9 and Viper I could read all of 10.
Do you think I should send in my XTR2?
The 3-18 should work, but the 5-25 has a 56mm objective and none of the xtr2s do. Ocular side is the same size, so that cap should work.Anyone know if the xtrii and xtriii use the same scope cap sizes?
Ok, so I'd need a xtrii ocular cap and a 56mm objective capThe 3-18 should work, but the 5-25 has a 56mm objective and none of the xtr2s do. Ocular side is the same size, so that cap should work.

Pretty sure those are the stock/OE feet on the MDT Ckye-pod. They detach similar to Atlas, you might be able to get them direct from MDT and fit if it's the same style of feet?Nice D_T! Who makes those claw feet for your tripod? I have a PVA COMP-40 and have been looking for something like that.
I think he was asking about the tripod.Pretty sure those are the stock/OE feet on the MDT Ckye-pod. They detach similar to Atlas, you might be able to get them direct from MDT and fit if it's the same style of feet?
That’s correct, the tripod clawsI think he was asking about the tripod.

Certain rules about % of parts being from USA, but they should at least have “Assembled in USA” I agree. Tell us how you like it once you get it to the range.So this happened today. Just one question.
How do you NOT put "Made in USA" anywhere on it???

spots to cut:
- pistol P320 X5
- tripod (feisol)
- bipod (Ckye-Pod triple pull)
Congrats DT on the 2nd place finish in what sounds like an awesome match! Love the Kermit green rifle. I see the frost on your XTR III in the one pic, how cold did it get, did you have any issues with glass fogging up or tight rings (mag, parallax) or?
What do you mean by "spots to cut", are you meaning these items were too heavy and you need to look for something lighter?
How do you like that feisol?it got to 17* at night...mid 30's during the day. never noticed anything getting tough to spin or fog which is super nice.
one morning we did have to deal with the sun just peaking over the trees and was looking straight into the sun at white targets in the snow. I was able to see all the targets exceot for the smaller long distance one that wasn't painted.
yes sir cut weight. really want to be under 60 lbs.

I don't think they are out yet, still. I emailed burris asking about it a couple weeks ago and no response...Does anyone have a part number for the throw lever and race dial?
I emailed them and they said talk to a distributor lolI don't think they are out yet, still. I emailed burris asking about it a couple weeks ago and no response...

I can't believe they dont have an illuminated reticle offered.
How do you like that feisol?

Disregarding the weight difference and illumination, have these been out long enough to say, “yes, these compete with a Gen 2 Razor”? I guess looking solely at tracking, reliability, glass clarity
Where are you getting the levers from?They are on their way out now.
I have 2 Race Dials and 4 throw levers coming.
Hide vendors can get you one for under $1,600Man that's tough. The Gen2 has been around the block. I loved mine other than the locking knobs. Accidentally hit those a lot which was a nuisance.
Give it a year and I will say yes. Right now I give the edge to Gen2. There is always kinks to work out. Right now I say the glass is a push and tracking is a push. Just track record only can be filled with time. Ive been using them for going on 3 yrs now with nary a hiccup.
Ill nvr steer someone from a Gen2 tho. Just a solid option. But again, they are considerably differnet price differences. Isnt retail on the Gen 2 like $2500? too lazy to check right now but I know its several hundred more.
I feel confident saying this, cant go wrong with either. And Im not a Vortex fan. Both have top notch warranty lolol.

That's not even close to comparing apples to apples. Going off website pricing.
G2: $2899.99
XTR3: $2159
that's a little more than considerable price difference to me.
Obvious in that suggested price is quality of components. If the XTR3 can be mentioned in the same sentence as a G2, that's a win win IMO.
and its MADE IN AMERICA!!
F ya.

Msrp doesn't mean anything. 90% of the time, msrp is high and street price is low so that people think that they are getting a deal and it sells more. Who would look at a G2 at almost $3k or a Leupold for $6k? But people see them on the streets for 40% off and it looks like a huge steal. I'm not arguing for or against either scope , just saying that comparing MSRP is pointless unless that's the price you are paying.That's not even close to comparing apples to apples.

"Made" in America is probably the wrong term, it should rather be "Assembled" in America as I believe parts are still coming from overseas. The Vortex AMG series I believe are the only truly "Made" in America scopes where everything is sourced here in the USA (though latest gens have their reticles etched in Germany, but glass is still from USA if I recall). That being said, I still think Assembled in USA holds some weight, instead of having cheap labor overseas they are deciding to put together here in the USA and in the long run that benefits everybody (in the USA of course).Made in america is debatable. If are, Burris made a huge mistake in not putting anywhere on the box or scope.
they told me that on FB, but did not specify what distributor..I emailed them and they said talk to a distributor lol

PM that info if you don't mind.Hide vendors can get you one for under $1,600
No kiddingPM that info if you don't mind.
where do I order from?????????
Man I really appreciate the thought and time put into your reply. I’m currently running a gen 2 3-18 and was looking at the bigger 4.5-27 or the 5-30 XTR III. Not in a hurry so I’ll keep tabs on how they continue to perform. Figured you would be the guy to ask, so thanks again.Man that's tough. The Gen2 has been around the block.
