Well the glass sucks compared to more modern optics for one, and the reticle is a bit dated.Vortex Razor HD II 3-18 x 50 can be had for under $1,500 new if you keep an eye out on deals.
Besides the weight.. it leaves nothing else to be desired.
Do you work there?For almost half the max price listed you could get a Burris XTRIIIi 3-18x50 at Liberty Optics. Put it in the cart for the final price.
NEW for 2022!! Burris XTR Pro and XTRIII
The latest exciting new series of scopes from the folks in Colorado are the new XTR III series. Incorporating a multitude of features that today's shooters and competitors want, these highly anticipated scopes promise to deliver the goods with a price tag that makes sense in today's economic...www.libertyoptics.com

I'd get a t6xi over the xtr3. The xtr3 turrets are blah, stiff parallax and mag ring with super aggressive gnurling. I have had and sold 3 xtr3, and I can say for sure the t6xi glass is better than the two 3.3-18 xtr3 samples I had.Thanks all. I might go with the Burris. I’d like to look through a Leupold mk5hd 3.6-18 for good measure
I saw those the steiner looks very good too though.Just picked up an xtriii non-illum for $899 at Europtic. Hard to pass up for that price.
I wouldn't get the XTRIII without illumination. The illumination helps on some targets and also the reticle is a little thicker in the illuminated models.
I’ll find out when it gets here tomorrow but it has the SCR Mil in it which is supposed to be thicker than the SCR2.
That's another reason as I would want a tree reticle for holds instead if a standard style. If it works for you then it's a great buy but I'd spend a little more and get the illumination persoanlly.
Sounds like you should not take advantage of that great price
A 5.5-30 Burris?Nope I definitely should not. Just giving the OP somethings to think about before he spends his money though. Personally I would buy a 5.5-30 as I would use the higher end a lot more than the 2.2x difference at the bottom.
Yup but that’s me. If you wanted a 3-18x scope then stick with what you want.A 5.5-30 Burris?
The G2 Vortex Razor 3-18x50 was just recently on sale at DVOR for $1049.00 maybe only 2 or 3 weeks ago.Vortex Razor HD II 3-18 x 50 can be had for under $1,500 new if you keep an eye out on deals.

Yep... I have an XTR-IIIi 5.5-30x56 SCR2 MIL scope. The build quality is damn-solid, and the glass is very impressive for the price. The turrets feel nice, and the parallax is actually accurate. Highly recommend it.A 5.5-30 Burris?
Buy one that you can actually easily see the center of the reticle when set at 3x such as the Meopta Optika6 3-18x50 FFP RD MRAD1.I’m looking for scope recommendations for under $2k for a scope with 3-18(ish) magnification.
The Leupold mk5hd looks good and so does the NF NX8 2.5-20x50
Does anyone recommend anything else I should consider?
Recommending T3 reticle is like telling all ur friends aids is cool, go out and get yourself some!We have a good prices on a both the Leupold Mark 5HD 3.6-18x44 and the NF NX8 2.5-20x50. Between those two, I think the Leupold is optically better.
But, you should also consider this lightly used ATACR 4-16x42 with the illuminated TREMOR3 that's only $62.50 over your budget.
Which of these scopes is comparable to aids?Recommending T3 reticle is like telling all ur friends aids is cool, go out and get yourself some!
Anything with Tremor garbage in it!Which of these scopes is comparable to aids?
This reply was supposed to be directed to RKB Armory.Recommending T3 reticle is like telling all ur friends aids is cool, go out and get yourself some!
Why do you need it on low power? FOV at 6-8X and the milC or XT works just fine as a duplex for quick shots. Have the extra 5 seconds, spin the magnification to 10-12X and it's all usable there. The T3 at low power is like trying to look through panty hose, and not fishnets either I can see through those!The Nightforce NX8 2.5-20x FFP reticle is impossible to see on it's lower magnification ranges even with it's illumination turned all the way to it's max.
Anything Leupold, and anything with Horus or Tremor reticles. WHOREus reticles are overpriced shit, and they upcharge some scopes $800+ just to have their reticles in them. Complete joke.Which of these scopes is comparable to aids?

As you can see, some people are not fans of the Tremor / Horus reticles because they're always more expensive than other reticles. Which is why you have to buy it used !Anything Leupold, and anything with Horus or Tremor reticles.

As an owner of the same optic, it is optically the best option in your price and mag range if you don't mind the shitty turrets. An ATACR is slightly better (marginally) but those are $300+ more when comparing new prices to new prices.I made a purchase thanks all for your input, I went with a Steiner XT6i 3-18x56

Not just because they think they’re better than everyone else, so they charge ridiculous upcharges for them, but their reticles are too damn busy for any sense of practicality, even in a competition setting.As you can see, some people are not fans of the Tremor / Horus reticles because they're always more expensive than other reticles.

I also love the ZC 4x20.Just got behind a Steiner T6xi and was impressed. Turret feel was not great but repeatable.
Nightforce ATACR 4-16 have treated me good over the years. Beat theM to shit and they still run true.
Premier 3-15. Way ahead of its time and love the MTC
ZCO 4-20 is my favorite though. Everything just feels right.

Defending shitty reticle designs and the NFA makes you sound like a Fudd...Practicality, like people who shoot people in combat practicality?
Bitching about a $250-$300 reticle upgrade on $2K+ optic makes you sound poor.
