Does anyone have one of these in hand yet? I just ordered the 3-15 with my fingers crossed that it's actually half as good as it looks.
Fingers crossed here as well. I ordered the 5X25X50.

Both my 700s have about 20" barrels, I have the 5-25 coming when they are done. Hopefully the 1-5 will be here Thursday.
I've got the 5-25 coming for my 700 5r 20 inch. Should be here Monday...
8 mils per turret revolution? When are they going to learn.
That when using multiple revolutions on turrets, 5 or 10 mils per revolution are easier mathematically than 8 or some other random number they decide to stop on. They can't seem to build turrets that stop on a nice even number at the end of a revolution. This has been true on all of their scopes with target knobs.
Fingers crossed here as well. I ordered the 5X25X50.
Well got my package from Burris today..... just the rings unfortunately so I guess I'm on the waiting list too. My 700 5r looks funny with the scope base and the lower half of the rings on it
I got mediums, but with my seekins 20 MOA base lows WILL work according to burris. I'm not trusting enough though. Plus I have a good cheek rest setup
We will be getting these in also and will add to the website soon. We have eight models on order
Only 8? This is Snipers Hide, you'll need more my friend!
Thanks, I have the weaver 20 MOA base but I guess I better wait on the scope. That bit me once before in putting the carriage before the horse. But, that was with 30mm rings not 34.
To make it easy,
34mm...
50mm objective - lows will work all the time
56mm objective - lows < sendero or #5 contour Sometimes lows will fit number 7 contour barrels, but it depends on how long the shank is after the smith installed it.
Highs for sure anything larger than #7
This is assuming our ring height and our rail height. Also using buttler creek caps. YMMV...
Mine ships next week, I will review when I get a chance.
I had a tour of the Burris / Steiner factory yesterday and left with a bunch of their XTRII Scopes to use and review.
At the price point these are awesome scopes.. and seeing the behind scenes make it even better.
There is a 100 people working in Greeley and you'll see a lot more coming out there,
"Burris / Steiner has a full production facility in CO, and employs a 100 workers. They have complete clean rooms, testing equipment, and a full machine shop.
Take a lot of that and you'll begin to get the surprise"
Maybe something Burris/Steiner with something in the 1500-2000 price range. THAT would be interesting.
Where did Tikka260 go now that Frank said they look GTG?

I think it is premature to say they are GTG, as NO ONE has put them through their paces yet.
We shall see, I'm hoping they do well as the 4-20x has caught my eye.
Burris commissioned this scope to look like a nightforce to appeal to posers. We absolutely should stick together as a community and send the message to these companies, such as Burris, to shove their overpriced Filipino junk up their ass. Buy a dmr or an hdmr if you want a decent 34mm, ffp scope with original features and styling, support a company that gets it.....fuck the junk.
It's fortunate that a big percentage of folks reading this are taking all the bashers with a grain of salt. I can't begin to tell you how many items in the firearms disciplines I've bought over the years after hearing they were crap from folks that DON'T OWN THEM - NEVER EVEN SAW THEM. Just exactly like this situation. Unless you were at SHOT, and even then under limitations, I find it difficult to believe anything someone says about the XTR 2s because at this moment in time - they're vapor - they don't exist in the wild.1K scope with all the features it is presenting will be hard to resist. Perhaps GTG is an overreach at this point, but I respect what the company is doing, they have QC's in place and are doing there best to produce a competitive product and not just taking a cheap POS and planting Tactical on the side. So your right but lets also not crucify them just because they put a plant in PI.
