Burris dropping a new optic, XTR PS. Pretty much an XTR3/PRO with the capabilities of the Veractiy PH. Detent-less elevation turret that has a HUD inside that shows elevation, windage, temp, has a level and a timer.

It could either be really good, or really bad.

19 mils per revolution? And people complained about the S&Bs. lol Will be interesting to see how all the cool features hold up.

Given that I had to send in a three week old Eliminator 6, which was deemed non-repairable on 11/20/24, and I still have not received the replacement as of today... you can color me skeptical.

It's pretty bad ass.

It's less complicated than the Eliminator. At its core its still just a turret and reticle. Yes, it's still usable if the battery dies.

It's pretty great technology. The Veracity PH has been very successful, very durable. They are expanding their capabilities from that hunting platform to the competitive side. A countdown timer in the HUD is pretty damn slick.

Burris is pretty much leading the way on this type of tech, but you'll see more of it.

I could eliminate two accessories on my rifle if it works well. Hopefully Burris will send a sample to my office to check out.

Thanks for the info. Can you expand on how it will be used without power? I’m trying to think through the detentless turret and logistics. Thanks.

Where is it made? Same glass as a Pro?

I'm looking into this. From what I "think" I know, I believe this scope is out of the Phillipines like the Veracity PH, using XTRIII Japanese made glass.

Edit; This is confirmed.

I imagine it's still a mechanical adjustment just without detents. No HUD without batteries

It's still a regular turret marked in 1/10 Mil adjustments. You would use your regular data from your ballistic solver, dial and shoot.

The use of the HUD is just much nicer. You can set to show Mil hold or yardage based on your custom downloaded data and multiple choices of density altitude and wind settings. The rifle level and timer are also nice touches.

The HUD is just plain cool. And a battery is a simple thing with the charge level showing in the HUD, the battery is inexpensive and no larger then a nickel. Toss a handful of them in your pack. I doubt folks will have to worry much about getting caught without power when you need.

I think it is a pretty neat idea even if a bit disappointed in Burris' turn around time on my Eliminator 6. Kind of wonder if the scope linking to an external display, maybe something with a pic mount like a Crush-it timer but displaying dialed range, might be handy. Basically you could dial to a range without having to look through the scope while doing so, watch the display as you dial. Would not have to stay centered in the eyebox while dialing. Might not be necessary, but you could glace at the display to see dialed range instead of having to get on the scope. Just a thought

FYI everything about the Veracity PH has been great except one issue.

The zero stop is a small tab on the track and a screw in the turret. Unfortunately, the metal tab is soft metal and over time, I noticed my turret was going below zero 1/2 MOA. I sent the scope back to Burris and it was repaired. Not sure what they did cause it’s now 1/4 below zero.

So with that said, there is a zero stop on the Veracity PH, but it’s mushy cause the metal tab is soft and will deform over time.

Finally someone giving Revic a run for their money. Hopefully the turret knurling is toned down from previous XTR III versions. I like the idea of the HUD and may try to get my hands on one at some point as I've been eying the Revic but not particular fond of the mag range for crossover. At 35oz the 3.3-18x50 is a wee bit heavy but right at my personal limit for a crossover scope so if the glass impresses (and other XTR III glass has) and the HUD works well... could be really exciting.

Looking at the specs and pricing I would say its XTR Pro glass.

I would think they did it to kind of be like a rheostat and allow the used to fine tune the range. Say 850yds calls for 5.6mil, 860 calls for 5.7mil, but you are shooting 855yds. You would basically be able to dial 855yds which equated to 5.65mils since you effectively dial in between tenths.

Not such a big deal at shorter ranges but using my 6.5PRC load shooting 147gr ELD-M the drop from 860 to 870 is approximately 6" and that is a relatively fast/flat shooting round. Gives the ability for finer scale adjustments would be my guess.

I really hope this works out.
I promised myself I would buy a Revic when they came out with a mil version. Then Revic 2 came out, as did the clown show of a reticle! 😡
I’ve never looked at them since. I don’t even know if Revic still makes scopes, that’s how bad the Gen 2 ruined me.


So I really hope Burris can get everything right on this. Reticle, turrets, glass etc. I’d be very very interested in one

Tell me more about this "detentless" elevation turret, there are no clicks?
Click to expand...
“With the advanced PĒK (Programmable Elevation Knob) system, experience clickless, ultra-fast adjustments and pinpoint accuracy with 1/30 MIL precision—outperforming conventional optics.”

26mils of elevation. 19 per rotation

My guess would be that the elevation turret feels much like a parallax knob? 🤷‍♂️

That’s exactly why.

How tight are the turrets? I assume this is done because the expectation is the click values are displayed in the HUD?

Turret is smooth with enough tension it would take a lot of effort to accidentally spin it.

Turret markings are typical 1/4 MOA so when I use it at range, I dial it to the 1/4 MOA like any other MOA turret. Only when powered on and viewing yardage display in the HUD will you get the 1/10 MOA accuracy.

Here’s some of the scope views of the Veracity PH.

Seems unlikely it is going to be the same optically as the XTR Pro when it shares the same MSRP, but you never know they might discount the XTR Pros down more I suppose. That said I do like the concept of the PH system, especially more than say Sig's Sierra BDX scopes. However, two bad experiences with Burris in the last couple years doesn't really inspire giving them more $

If it feels like the parallax knob it's a monumental fail...my XTR Pro and every other I've felt needs a pair of vise grip pliers to adjust it while on the clock...otherwise no complaints.
