I have some 3.3-18x SCR2 XTRIII that I will sell bare scopes for $1200. They have excellent glass at that price.
@Glassaholic always provides excellent insight.This post has aged well.
DTROS rifle porn from early in this thread has my wallet burning.
The 3.3-18 if nothing else the looks bloody cool.
Is it release time yet?
You just made my day lol. I recently moved to Colorado and turns out I work 10 minutes from their facility. Maybe I should go visit…True, but the TX5i and XTRIII are both made in Greeley and both ship from the US.
So how the XTR3 in the US can be the cheaper scope but by the time it reaches NZ has doubled in price god only knows....
More than anything this tells me the illuminated XTR III 3.3-18 should be available soon, hopefully prices won't be too far off from non-illuminatedA screaming good deal from Tyler Kemp..
The non-illuminated Comp version is being discontinued. There are some changes coming to the XTR3 that are going to make it a very strong choice at its price point.More than anything this tells me the illuminated XTR III 3.3-18 should be available soon, hopefully prices won't be too far off from non-illuminated

They just don't have the space to make them all..Say it ain't so? I thought I could still have my thin reticle if I wanted it!
I hope they thickened it up a reasonable bit.They just don't have the space to make them all..
Edit; What I'm getting in feedback on the reticle thickness, (and I've asked several people) is that the new one isn't "thicker" per se. It was described to me as being X amount of microns thicker, which didn't jibe with me, but it was clear it was thickened up in some manner to accommodate illumination. It should be more visible due to this. But this reticle at a glance is by no means thick.
I'm afraid I dont know much about them. The accessory end of the gig never really comes up in conversation.@Birddog6424 whats the deal with the Burris throw lever and race dial?
The throw lever doesn't seem available anywhere other than Amazon (nil stock), the race dial is slightly more common but still not widely available.
Do you know if these will be available at launch of the new models?
On the previously posted X-ring video, Mr X-ring says it is the pro model.I read somewhere the new model was called the XTR pro? Either way looks nice for that price range, and they're 5 min from my house lol
Magnification ringis that the parallax?

I just want to see the "Buy It Now" button... and maybe a 30% off for 2 button next to it
From the Burris FB page..
So New Years came and went. Was hoping the official roll out was going to be then. I guess we waiting for Shot Sow now?
Turrets are great for grip. Large diameter and very smooth. I've had mine out 3 times now in crappy, cold weather, no issues at all.Wait, is that a slight blemish in the finish, that tiny nick right above the 30, well if that's indicative of the quality, I'm sticking with Barska Seriously though, that hexagonal knurling looks slick, I wonder how tactile it is in wet and cold. Stop giving us these strip show pics and show us the full monty
The last numbers I heard were a couple hundred were produced in various configurations and will be sold at Shot.Thanks @Birddog6424, excited to see them. I’ll be placing my order as soon the vendors start allowing preorders.
Fantastic!A custom made to fit aluminum magnification throw lever is included with every optic.
Yes, the news dropped at Burris yesterday. There's some long faces.I saw that Burris will not be at SHOT this year. I hope we see some decent reviews that drop the same time as the official reveal.
This. Is there any center dot reticles?@Birddog6424 Can you say if there are new/additional reticle options (maybe this has already been asked??).
So there have been tweaks to the glass quality? You were always impressed so I imagine that comment reflects new glass.Yes, the news dropped at Burris yesterday. There's some long faces.
I know of one well-known, -respected reviewer who has already seen the optic, but I believe he hasn't had the optic in hand for a full review. I believe he has already been sent a production model, or will be very soon. I dont have all of those details.
I've had mine in hand for close to two weeks now. I've had it at the range 3 times now side by side in various blustery conditions to a ATACR 7-35, a K525i, a ZCO 4-20, and a Cronus BTR. I'll just say its impressive.
My first matches will be a PRS Rimfire on the 15th, and PRS centerfire on the 22nd.
Yes, there will be new reticle options.@Birddog6424 Can you say if there are new/additional reticle options (maybe this has already been asked??).
Yes, one of the new reticle options uses a floating dot.This. Is there any center dot reticles?
Are you going to be shooting the Leupold steel classic? I’m thinking of selling my Minox to outfit my rimfire and would like to compare it. Really like my xtr3 especially the reticle thickness and design.My first matches will be a PRS Rimfire on the 15th, and PRS centerfire on the 22nd.
Straight up, no Burris Bias, I've always felt in many side by side comparisons that the glass in the XTR3 is a fair representation of its price point. I thought it a little better than some of its peers, but all in all, the scopes from Japan, or the American made scopes with Asian glass like the MK5 and XTR3 were so close in glass quality that glass should never be the deciding factor in a buying decision. I've always felt the sight picture itself had a greater impact, or difference than the glass quality. The Burris in comparison to many others had a very enjoyable sight picture. Minimal view of the frame, bright glass, and large field of view. That's always been the "wow factor" that people running other optics have expressed after looking through the Burris.So there have been tweaks to the glass quality? You were always impressed so I imagine that comment reflects new glass.
I wont be making it to that match. I'm the 2022 Northwest Regional PRS Director, so I'm keeping it close to home to make sure we get off to a good clean start, and support a new club or two. So I'll be shooting all regional rimfire and centerfire matches for a bit.. My first Pro Series match will be the Ruger-Koenig match in Grand Junction Colorado in April.Are you going to be shooting the Leupold steel classic?

Hopefully just the tremor. Going to a thicker reticle so it's easier to see and changing to a smaller dot that is harder to see counteracts each otherSo does the .25 mil reticle have the floating center dot or just the Tremor?
The three reticles are the regular SCR2, the SCR2 in quarter mil, and the Tremor 5.Hopefully just the tremor. Going to a thicker reticle so it's easier to see and changing to a smaller dot that is harder to see counteracts each other
This makes me extremely happyThe three reticles are the regular SCR2, the SCR2 in quarter mil, and the Tremor 5.
The SCR2 uses a small floating cross, not a dot. So its the Tremor 5 that has the floating dot.
Pics or never happened.....The three reticles are the regular SCR2, the SCR2 in quarter mil, and the Tremor 5.

Oh..... it happened...
