Rifle Scopes Won a Burris Optics 50% off certificate....what do you you guys recommend?

[Ghillieman37]

Won a Burris certificate at a Predator Hunting competition this weekend. It works out nice because I'm in the market for a new optic for my long range rig. What do you guys recommend? I wanna go with the XTR2 in Mils.....torn on what model...and what reticle.

I was checking into the 4-20 as well as the 5-25......think I would be fine with the first choice?

The XTR-2 is a nice scope mine have tracked great. I had a 3-15 and still have a 2-10. I regret selling my 3-15. But I "upgraded" to the Steiner t5xi. Under 1k retail I think they are one of the best. Well done on your contest.

Go big!

I'm kinda liking the SCR reticle haha. Yeah...I guess I should just get the 5-25 and be done with it lol

Aren't they supposed to be coming out with a pro version, or the XTR with better glass? Or was that Bushnell, I always get them mixed up. If that is the case then I'd wait for that.

I think that's Bushnell.

I think that's Bushnell.

I looked it up, I think it is Burris.

 

[JR869]

Where did you see that?

HAHA from you. Did I misread?

I ran the 5-25 for a while and really liked it. Only sold it because I had the opportunity to grab an AMG. I enjoyed the extra magnification and never had an issue with 5 being the minimum even while hunting.

I run the 4-20 on a handful of rifles and like it really well. Including my 6.5 Grendel that I hunt coyotes, wolves and lions with.

I have the 5-25 on a couple bigger rifles like my 300 Norma.

I do like the 5-25 with the SCR for hunting.

I run the 4-20 XTRII, the SCR reticle is what I prefer, but I have some of the older G2B Mil reticles. I think the 4-20 is kind of the sweet spot for practical field matches in the XTRII line. I rarely hit 20x shooting out to 1200 and have not wanted more. I have a 5-25 in the FDE that is slated for the 300 Norma Mag when it is done. My kid has the 3-25 on his B-14 HMR, some so he won't over crank it. He has shot one match with the long target out to 1125 and he was perfectly fine with it. Hunt with a 2-10, 3-9 and 4.5-14 mostly.

Unless you plan to go past 1200, I'd stick with the 4-20, if out to maybe 700 only, 3-15.

 

[Ghillieman37]

I'm already shooting past 1200 with SWFA 16X42. I'll prob get the 5-25

Get the 4-20. The image quailty is better than the 5-25. You will end up dailing your magnification back to 20x on the larger scope because the image gets too dark. 4-20x is the best XTR in the line up.

 

[Tjfarmer]

I got a 8-40, it’s okay, but not my favorite scope. Works pretty good at about 32-33x

 

[patriot07]

Get the 4-20 or 3-15. The optics are much better than the 5-25. The 5-25 at high power is pretty rough from an optical clarity standpoint. Both of the others are sharp throughout their range.

 

[cwall64]

Two 5-25 XTRII scopes and they work great.

 

[MTSLW]

I had a G2B 5-25, it was a pretty solid scope all things considered. I also heard that they are coming out with some new cool stuff so if you aren't in a rush I'd wait. If you're in a hurry the SCR is much better than the G2B Mil IMO.
