Rifle Scopes Burris XTR II
- Thread starter Devildog
- Start date
I own a 5-25 xtr2, razor gen 2 and a s&b pm2... out to 1000 yards I can hit what I'm aiming at with any of them. Is the glass better on the $2500+ scopes? Duh.. but the xtr 2 dials perfectly and returns to zero EVER TIME! That scope has taken multiple critters out to 1000 yards in every condition imaginable.
I liked the 3-12 overall, but needed more magnification. The 4.5-18 had a more fussy eyebox. I'm 60 years old and at this point brighter is more important than a lot of other traits. 30MM vs 34MM tubes, 44MM vs 50MM objectives and non-illiminated vs illuminated made the difference for me. Plus the eyebox/eye relief are more forgiving and I got more mils of elevation adjustment, especially over the 4.5-14. And lastly, I like the SCR reticle better than the Bushnell. At this stage, my eyes couldn't really tell much, if any, difference in the glass quality. I like the clicks on the Burris. The Bushnell felt more rounded over and easier to overshoot my adjustments. The LRHS's are really nice scopes, just not what I need for my type of shooting.
I myself have been considering the XTR II for my RPR in 308. While I'm still kind of new to the long range shooting community, I have a Gen 1 Razor on my 700 and have been very happy with it. For you guys that have experience with the XTR II and Gen 1 Razor how do they compare with one another?
I liked my Razor a little better, compared to what you can get now for 1300, I don't know about buying a Razor, but if I still had mine, I wouldn't hesitate to run it. The only real disadvantage I see to it is, it has a somewhat tight eye box for the price range. Both have kind of a tight eye box, probably tighter on the Razor. Glass is a little better in the Razor. If it were a 5 mil, I would probably go for the Burris. I wouldn't sell either one to get the other.

+1 my burris xtr ii glass is shit compared to my gen 1 and gen 2 razor.
I too would like to look through the cronus.
Thanks Birddog, think I'll give it a try based off your experience and what seems like many others not just in this thread. If I'm not satisfied with it they seem to sale quick in the for sale section.
I ordered a 4-20x50 XTR II today! I am looking forward to getting it in and running it on a 6.5x47L
Does anyone have a picture, or could tell me, what part of the H59 reticle is illuminated in the XTRII 4-20x50? My google fu has failed me.
You wont be disappointed with the 4-20X50 XTR II. I own that as well as the 5-25X50 XTR II. I have no complaints with either of them. I own 7 Nightforce scopes 6 NXS's and 1 ATACR and 7 Bushnell Tactical Elites. 4 DMR's and 3 ERS's all 3.5-21x50. Is the XTR II's overall quality as god as either the Nightforce or Bushnell scopes, no but they are not far behind. At least to my eyes.
