Excellent video. Much appreciation to your thorough approach. I learn something every time I watch one of your videos. I bought that same set from Borka and have added pieces to it over time. Mighty useful and confidence inspiring knowing you've torqued everything properly. I want to protect my gear and start off with it correctly torqued. Great optic review, too, Thank you.

Great video, thanks! I have a Burris XTR II 4-20 with that same reticle. I find that it is a very good scope if you can get it for less than $1,000. In my experience, the glass quality is above average, but nothing to write home about. I do like the 34mm tube and relatively forgiving eye box. When I performed a tall target test, I discovered I needed a auto correction factor of .9912 (using Bryan Litz's technique from his KZbin video on the subject). From zero-300 yards the error wasn't big, but as you noted, it accumulates and is worse closer to the of the range. At 600+ yards the error is significant enough to miss a 2 MOA target by dialing. Of course, if you hold over, it works just fine. Since then, I've since switched to Vortex Viper PST Gen II with the EBR-2D reticle (MOA). I'm much happier with the glass quality and performance. These days, I strive to use the holdovers as much as possible and avoid dialing. It takes a lot of practice! BTW - I still have my XTR II. It's a good range scope, but not quite up to serious PRS duty, UNLESS you do the work to find the auto correction factor! In my experience, you typically do get what you pay for in scopes. Although I would love to have a Vortex Razor HD budget, the Burris price point got me into PRS sooner and it was better to start shooting and learning than waiting. That was the biggest lesson for me, just get out and shoot whatever you can afford and learn how it works! Hone your fundamentals and when you can get better equipment, it will pay off all the more.

Hi Ray, I leave a 1/8 inch gap too! except going the other way. I just purchased a Burris Fullfield IV 6-24 X 50 with long tubes so that I can mount the rifle back far enough to get a full sight picture, something I cant do with most scope models, probably due to my short neck. The XTR 2 looks have the same dimensions, may have to put it on my scope options list for people with short necks. Thanks for another good video. (Actually taking another look the front tube looks a bit short I think mostly due to the long objective bell, , I will have to check its dimensions and specs on the Burris sight)

I literally did the same thing with my XTR2-first look it was milky-also going from my ATACR 4-16x42 and Razor G2. Mine tracks really well-only weakness is glass IMO but it is still very usable. I read that this was the case prior to purchase but paid well under $1k new and couldn't pass up.

What's your thoughts on a scope for a M1A that has a over the receiver scope mount? I'm running the Springfield gen 4 scope mount bracket. My goal with this setup is to reach out 700 yards. I know the M1A socom 16 is not a long-range rifle. The other rifle I'm looking into for longer distances is. Rem 700 sps tactical. What scope do you recommend for that rifle to punch out over 600 yards? I have a bushnell banner 2 4x12x40 on my M1A socom 16 now, and on my 22LR rifle. Witch is not bad. I know I'm going to have to upgrade as I learn and punch out over 400 yards

@TheChampionp4 жыл бұрын
Would these results be different if you have verified level on your scope base and reticle? I was taught to have the spirit level completely flat when holding the reticle on a plumb line, and to place a level against the target when stapling it to the backboard. Did you take any of these steps before filming? I was interested in one of these scopes and now I'm not so sure with the glass quality you mentioned as well as tracking errors.
@SkinnySkinch4 жыл бұрын
I am shocked he showed the mounting of a scope on an informational video like this. I mean at the very least, put it on a nice flat table somewhere and just put a level on the top of the top turret. This was pretty shocking to see and yes, never mount a scope like this if you actually want to use the hold overs. If you plan on shooting anything at distance, scope should be properly mounted.
@SkinnySkinch4 жыл бұрын
FYI, you can get this scope for $599-$720 on natchezss.com. it's a blemished model. Price will be $599 for the 4-20 and $719 for the 5-25 XTRII models. I would never pay full price for it, but for $599 this is a hell of an optic and better than the PST which is slightly more expensive.

About the time of this video I was told that the glass is inferior to all highend scopes. Burris is aware of that and was told by a rep. that they will be improving the glass that comes from the Philippines. For the cost they cannot afford to be behind Vortex, NightForce and Tract that use german or japanese HD glass

Hello EA. My apologies for the late reply. Dealing with KZbin strikes at the moment as they are hitting all of the gun channels really hard now. With regards to your question. The Burris XTRII is no where near the same quality as the XTR III or XTR Pro. Vortex makes very good scopes as well. You will be fine with either but just make sure the scope you purchase checks all of the boxes on what you are looking for in a scope. Thanks
