I'm looking to switch some optics around for 2020 and the Burris XTR3 is appealing. My history of owning Alpha optics extends itself quite a ways, but I don't keep anything (which i should). As I shop for the next optic to use for comps, I have a pretty short list which includes -- ZCO, NF735, and Kahles. All three of these offer reticle options that I like, and all are clearly well above the price tag compared to the XTR3. The part that is tugging my mind is the fact that optics have come a long ways and the law of diminishing returns is more of a reality than ever. Not saying the Burris at its price point is cheap by any means, but it's significant compared to the others.

So, who has put this optic through its paces. I'd like to hear from those who have spent a decent amount of time behind this scope and can confirm tracking reliability and how well the optic resolves images up to and past 1000 yards. I've filtered through the extensive XtR3 Review thread a couple times, but since the optic is in more poeple's hands, it be nice to have some solid reviews in a smaller thread. Thanks for your help.
 
I’ve heard fantastic things about them so far, but until I get one in hand I can’t confirm or deny people claims. I’m just wait for the SCR2 to become available in my local markets before taking the plunge.
 
Well I've owned one for about 3 weeks, have compared side by side with lesser and higher priced optics. I'm kinda new to this long range stuff but other more seasoned folks love the glass and the field of view. I compared it with many at the arena expo last weekend and feel good about my purchase. YMMV

These have only just recently hit the market so not many out in the wild yet. I’d suspect a lot more over the next couple months. I put in an order with MK Machining for a 3.3-18x50 with SCR2 mil reticle, but who knows how long as these haven’t even shipped yet.
