So jealous…. Wish mine would get hereMine just landed. Looking forward to getting it Mounted this week!
It blows my mind that the toolless race dials didn't find their way to the PRS shooting discipline sooner. Being a bit of a Burris fanboi, I'm happy to see them here and use mine on my XTR III often, and can't wait to get my PRO for the toolless feature.I used the PRO in a match yesterday. It's the first time I've used the race dial. The race dial and the tool less attach are awesome. Very pleased with this scope.
If they can produce enough of these, I expect these scope to be super popular for competition. I mean, why wouldn't you want your dope on the turret? It makes it way faster to progress through the targets.
I used my Pro in my first NRL22 match today and it really did well. I didn’t use the race dial but I can 100% see it being super efficient. The only thing I wish the Pro had was a bigger exposed windage turret, other than that I really like it.
LOL…I know. I actually have one on mine from another XTR3 I have. I called Burris and asked if they were gonna make a matching exposed turret for the PRO and you would have thought I was asking them to design a spaceship capable of going to Mars. LOLThe exposed windage turret from an XTRIII fits the Pro. I dont know if they would be available from Burris, but everyone who has an XTRIII running capped windage has an exposed windage cap in their box.
Hell, send me twenty bucks, I'll send you one

Burris CS probably doesn't realize they are the same part .
They didn't reinvent the wheel with the Pro. There's a lot of new cool goodies on it built from scratch, but where they could they simply used tried and true designs from the XTRII and XTRIII.
Burris told me sometime in June.Do you have any idea when scr2 xtr pros are expected to start shipping?

I have all 3, the MK5, PRO and the regular XTR3. For glass me personally I give a slight edge to the MK5, then the PRO and then the XTR3. For a hunting scope with neither having illumination and the FOV difference of the Burris, I’d personally go with the XTR3. I actually done a rough comparison off a sandbag earlier at abt 230 yards between those 3 for FOV, at 20X the XTR3 probably had 3-4’ more FOV. Granted that was a rough test off a sandbag but it was quite noticeable. I like both scopes and I don’t think you can go wrong with either.Alright, I'm jumping into this thread (even though it is the Pro thread).
I'm outfitting my hunting rifle with some new glass, and I've narrowed it down to the XTR3 or the Mk5. I've seen a number of comparisons in this thread between the two (and including the Pro).
I really enjoy a wide FOV after having a Kahles K312i for a bit, and that is really drawing me toward the XTRIII. Considering the price and the wide FOV, it seems like a good buy. I think I would stick with the SCR vs the SCR2 for hunting purposes, given no illumination.
For the Mk5, I've been seeing the 3-18 PR1 for $1500, and even found the 5-25 TMR for $1500. I'd rather go the PR1, and I guess to stay logically consistent the FOV on the 5-25 will be fairly narrow in comparison. I'd be able to lighten up a few ounces as well with the 3-18.
I like consistency, so most likely I'll rescope my comp rifle with the bigger brother of whichever 3-18 I choose.
For the few below that have been comparing the XTRIII and Mk5, would you feel that $500 difference would sway you one way versus the other?

It'd be sweet if Burris did an illuminated version of the non Pro XTR3, seems like that'd be the best of both worlds for a hunting setup.I'm outfitting my hunting rifle with some new glass, and I've narrowed it down to the XTR3 or the Mk5.

Burris is doing that. They already are building it but it’s not shipping yet as far as I know.
They will hit the shelves before hunting season.
The exchange rate is terrible now too.I wouldn't either in your shoes.
It's a long swim to deliver you a scope..
If you started swimming when it was originally announced here.... you'd still be waiting, just in the US.The exchange rate is terrible now too.
That being said I've been fully committed thus far, I won't rule out swimming to the US if thats what it takes.
Mine just arrived and the zero marks on the internal & elevation cap both don't align with the zero mark. What did you adjust to get it aligned?I was able to pick up a Pro on the PX, mounted it the other day and had my first range session this morning. I think I am going to really like this scope. I stuck it on a CZ455 since that gun is the one that seems to need the features of the Pro more so than my centerfire rifle.
First off, I’m no glass expert. I’m coming off a Vortex PST Gen 1 and a US Optic and this is the first scope I’ve shelled out 2K for.
What drew me to the Pro were the reviews on this thread, Burris’ warranty policy, and the price point that seems to punch above its weight class. For NRL22 and PRS22 I was looking for a FFP scope somewhere in the 5-25X range (or more), parallax that went down to 20-25 yds, a big honking turret with at least 10 MILS per rotation, and at least 25 mils of elevation adjustment. And at a price that a retired guy on a fixed income wouldn’t keel over from sticker shock. Based on everything I read and saw on Youtube, the Pro would check those boxes (plus a little more).
I installed it on my 455 using the Burris XTR Signature rings with the 20MOA insert in the front ring. This is in addition to the 30MOA Area 419 rail I already had on the rifle for a total of 50MOA. I had good luck with that amount of cant with the US Optic 5-25X that the Pro is replacing and it allowed 95% of the usable elevation adjustment in the USO. With the Pro zero’d at 50 yds, the 50MOA of cant gives me 24 MILS and change of ‘up’, sufficient to dial out to 400+/- yds which I hope is the max I’ll need with a rimfire rifle (fingers crossed). I also added a MK Machine magnifier for the turret (old eyes can’t see small numbers up close) and a couple yards of KT tape to protect the scope’s finish. I’m waiting on a throw lever from MK Machine, bummer that Burris is not including their throw lever with the Pro, but oh well I’ll survive.
Shooting experience: It was windy AF this morning, so I just got a quick zero @ 50 yds, then played around on a barricade at a 6” plate @ 100 yds (holding 1 to 1.5 MILS of left) and a 12” plate @ 300 yds (holding 3 to 4 MILS of left). Zero-ing was fairly straight forward, easier than the instructions in the User’s Manual made it seem. I like the tool less turret caps and it’s quick and easy to make adjustments. I did have to play around a little to get the zero mark lined up with the index mark on the scope body, but got it after making some adjustments to the internal cap. I like the size of the elevation turret, makes it easier to grab on and crank. I also like the fact that it has 12 MILS per rotation. My other scope only had 6 MILS per revolution, so dialing to 300 yds meant I had to crank it 2 full revolutions + 2. Now its only one full revolution +2 MILS and change. On the windage side, I’ve always had exposed caps even tho it seems like I typically hold wind rather than dial it (unless the stage has just one target shot from multiple positions, then I may dial wind). Jury is still out on whether I’ll run the windage turret exposed or capped.
The glass is clear enough for my eyes and I could spot my trace at 100 so I could tell when I wasn’t holding enough wind or holding too much when the wind dropped. The parallax adjustment is tight but crisp -you definitely know when you have it dialed for the right distance.
Comparing the Pro to my buddy’s ZCO… yeah, the ZCO is crisper and clearer, but the Pro will do me just fine. I really like the SCR2 reticle, it has enough info to be usable but not too much to be confusing or cluttered. It was quick and easy to spot for my buddy in the wind this morning, measuring windage and elevation corrections.
Looking forward to more range time and my first match with this scope.
Adjusted the inner turret until the outer turret lined up with zero. We’re talking micro adjustments.Mine just arrived and the zero marks on the internal & elevation cap both don't align with the zero mark. What did you adjust to get it aligned?
I could tell you but then I’d have to kill you.Who was your order through?
Is it black like the XTR3 or did they change it to red? They sent me an XTR3 throw lever when I emailed them several months ago.just an FYI
The throw lever WILL be included in the PRO's moving forward on new shipments. Also, if you didnt get one, call customer service and they will ship you one free of charge.
(the throw lever wont work on any other scopes fyi)

XTRIII levers were all they had at the beginning. The lever made for the Pro that I received is still black.
That's what I assumed. I like how the new one matches the grip pattern though! Maybe Ill get one with me next Pro.XTRIII levers were all they had at the beginning. The lever made for the Pro that I received is still black.
I agree, its a nice touch.That's what I assumed. I like how the new one matches the grip pattern though! Maybe Ill get one with me next Pro.
Which gun shop in Boise?They've been shipping. They are pushing them out fairly regularly.
It's hard to find one sitting on a retailers shelf though. A lot of those folks have them pre-sold. My buddies gun shop here in Boise keeps selling his before they go out. He ordered two and pre-sold them. Then ordered four more and has two of those pre-sold.
You didn't like it?I got one in the px if anyone is looking
They are great, bought 2 pistols from them. Friendly and always willing to answer questions.Hawktech Arms

Well, I did pick one up in the PX. My main scopes I spend the most time behind are my MInox ZP5 on my comp gun, and I have a gaggle of MK5 3-18s on my hunting rifles. Initial impressions after mounting are good. The glass is not as good as my Minox of course, but definitely a cut above the MK5. Field of view is impressive. Reticle may take some getting used to, but will be great for hold overs. Turrets are acceptable. Mine has noticeably more "resistance" going back down in Mils than up. Not sure if others notice that as well.I am all over the Made in the USA aspect, but I will likely wait until one shows up in the PX before I try one out.
