Rifle Scopes Duty/SWAT scope Burris XTR II 1-5 or NF 1-4 FC2

[cop1211]

I'm considering either the Burris XTR II 1-5, or another NF 1/4 FC2.
I have another NF1/4 FC2, and I am comfortable with that scope at cqb distances.
The Burris XTR II 1-5 has my interst, but would like to know if it is good to go at cqb distances.
I have 6 other rifles with Aimpoints, a 7th rifle with a Vortex 1-6.
My eyes are starting to go downhill on me so for this rifle I will be going with a scope.

Thank you for any insight you can provide.

Might have gotten better results without all the "cop/swat/duty/stuff" thing. Or just posted that in the mil/LE forum.

Having said that; I think you won't find many answers, as they just came out, and there's not a lot of info or testing on them for anyone to answer your question.

If you get the Burris; please post a review here to add to the info pool.

I apologize if anyone was offended by the title. I was just listing the intended use for the optic is going to be than just range time.
I can get the Burris for $600, a new NF 1-4FC2 for $1,000, or pick up another Vortex 1-6 for $1,050 lightly used.
All the reviews that I've found have been very positive on the XTR II 1-5, I'm leaning to giving that a shot.
Thanks for any other help that anyone can provide.

I guess I would have to ask, why wouldn't it be good for CQB distances.

Up close shooting isn't very demanding of a magnified optic. Glass quality and
magnification become secondary to eye relief, exit pupil, and field of view. You have to be able to easily see and acquire your target with a readily visible reticle.

All that information is available on Burris' website.

I would go with a NF scope for life or death work.

Yup. Or Leupy Mk 4 HAMR

Why don't you ask the other guys on your team as they will be familiar with your AO and temo.

Check out the swfa hd series. Namely the 1-6. It would be an excellent optic for your intended use. There's lots of info and reviews out there about it.

It's a shameless plug but I've got one for sale in the classified section if you're interested.

I decided to get a 2nd Vortex 1-6.
Thank you for the replies.
