Re: HELP NEED OPIONS ON THE BURRIS XTR SERIES SCOPES
jonny,
Well, the Burris 3-12x50mm is fairly durable, it is long and heavy compared to say a Leupold, it has mixed MIL/MOA adjustments, it's SFP only, standard MIl-Dot reticle (yawn), but it does have an excellent 90" adjustment range.
Frankly, I would not have a SFP MIL/MOA scope for tactical use at any price. However, if your use leans more towards hunting, and less towards tactical comps and you can get it for under $400. it would be a fair bargain.
Once you get over say $500. there are far better options. But it's your money and your choice.

He is right... your money, your choice. It is just not a choice that I would make. I would rather have a Super Sniper 16x.
I am awaiting a Vortex 4-16x50 PST myself... now THERE is a scope!!

I have had and still have a few Burris scopes. The glass is really good for the money IMHO. I have spent more money on optics and not gotten the quality of glass. I agree with Bob's comments concerning use.
Hope that help.
