The reticle is reported to be a tad thicker in the illuminated scopes (pro and 3i) but the subtension on the website don't reflect that and there are so few out in the wild no one has really confirmed if it makes a notable difference.Is the scr2 reticle thicker on the pro at all from anyone who has experience with both, the thickness on the Burris site says.02 for both but reticle thickness was a pretty common complaint back with the original xtriii scr2
I'm hanging out for the xtr3i to surface so can see what the illuminated reticle looks like in the 3 3-18.

I experience the same, used to love the thin reticles when I was younger but my 50+ year old eyes find they get lost in the same situations you mention. The SCR2 was too thin in my 3.3-18 because of this, but I also have the SCR2 in the 5.5-30 and the reticle feels thicker in this scope than it did the 3.3-18. I sold my 3.3-18 for this reason and have been waiting years (literally) for illumination, and it’s finally here (almost… maybe… I’ll believe it when I see itsame here, maybe my tired older eyes, but i loose these fine reticles too often in the shade or high contrast backrounds. i only have 1 illuminated scope, an older PR 3-15. the reticle is awful small, but i can turn on the illum and see it against the backround if needed. also makes the scope more useable at 3x, at least i can see the crosshair clearly w the illumination on
So I went and shot a match today. Its always nice to stop talking about it and go do it. First match with the scope, and I learned some things.
Reticle thickness.. yes, its thicker. Its noticeable. My buddy who has a pair of XTRIIIs hopped on my Pro, did a double take to see what magnification I was on, and in less than 5 seconds remarked that it was thicker. Its not a huge difference. If you want a thick reticle, you probably still won't like this one. But it is thicker.
I snapped some shots on 20x for comparison. I tried 10x and 5.5x, but my phone just wouldn't focus on the reticle. But you can look and decide for yourself. With the naked eye I can "kinda" see and use my grid on my XTR IIIs at 8x. I can absolutely see and use it on 8x in the Pro.
XTR III SCR2
XTR PRO SCR2
I got mine in today also, I looked through the glass standing on my front porch around last light during rain and I was impressed with the low light quality, ready to get it mounted and compare it to my XTR 3 and also a Steiner m7 4-28.ust got my PRO in from @TheHebrewHammer. Fit and finish is good. I'm very happy with the turrets, just the perfect amount of tension and very nice nice clicks. All adjustment knobs are are good for tension except the illumination knob. For the life of me i can't get it to turn. I'm going to have to look into this when i have more time. I like the new knurling. It's a big improvement over the dragon scale. I have not had a chance to check out the glass yet.
Also, I didn't get a battery or throw lever. I'm not worried about the battery, but would like to have a throw lever.
How is your illumination knob? That thing really has me stumped.I got mine in today also, I looked through the glass standing on my front porch around last light during rain and I was impressed with the low light quality, ready to get it mounted and compare it to my XTR 3 and also a Steiner m7 4-28.
As Big Timber stated, it was disappointing that a throw lever wasn't in the box but the dial was loose enough to be able to turn it without problems but there was some "bumps" along the dial like it was dragging on something, it didn't make it had to turn but it was noticeable.
Also, it took some effort to remove the race dial and that's when I figured out where the quick release dial was! ha
It's smooth, Like the way you change colors for the reticle.How is your illumination knob? That thing really has me stumped.

The illumination should turn pretty easy. Rotation is forward to increase brightness and hold at the end to swap colors.
I was impressed by it as the Steiner is my favorite scope.The Pro making a respectable run at the M7 is nothing but good news for the Pro.
Ditto, here too, logged into my Burris account and left a incident report and I had a e-mail with a tracking number first thing this morning!!Just wanted to update for the guys that didn't get a throw lever or battery. I contacted Burris support last night about the missing items via the webpage at 9pm CST last night and got a shipping conformation and tracking number at 9:30am this morning.
Huh... I opened a ticket 13 days ago and was told it would ship when they became available. I haven't received a notification yet.Ditto, here too, logged into my Burris account and left a incident report and I had a e-mail with a tracking number first thing this morning!!
Excellent customer service!
Just got off the phone with Burris. Got my name on a throw lever.
Spent a few minutes last night comparing the PRO to the ATACR 7-35. Obviously the field of view is better on the Burris (I just dialed to the same marked numbers on the dial), but the parallax was less forgiving than the ATACR. To my eyes the glass was a little better on the PRO than the ATACR.
I've compared this same ATACR to the xtr 3 and I thought the ATACR glass was better than the xtr3. I think the PRO beats the ATACR by about the same amount as the ATACR beats the xtr3. Plus I paid about $1k less for the PRO than i paid for the ATACR.
I think this scope at this price is going to steal some market share.
Thank you sir. It is holding its own right now.Looks like a nice rig..
Yes, Wyoming and Colorado. I missed the Laramie match over the weekend. Going to catch the Cheyenne, Wy match next weekend, then it’s Pawnee again, and then Cheyenne mountain Colorado I believe.You guys are shooting in Wyoming?
About an hour to Denver airportDamn, I'm closer than you. Evanston is about 5 1/2 hours from Boise.
I can only imagine how far you have to drive to find a beach![]()
How you going to get a clear view of anything with that Horus messI will be picking up my Pro Tremor5 tomorrow. I am not worthy of this on top of my stick but then again the stick is worthy. Can't wait! Nothing beats a clear view of my miss. LoL
Exactly my first thoughtHow you going to get a clear view of anything with that Horus mess![]()
You guys are such haters on the Horus. Let me get behind it and I will let you know my thoughts. The beauty may be that I will have another excuse for not seeing/hitting anything!
under the turret is a brass triangle.
Factory setting stops the turret at 0
Flip it over gives a -0.4
take it out and it can go down till turret hits. All scopes will be different here. Will not effect function.

added the 4
even switching barrels, which I do alot with all these divisions and weight classes popping up, having that .4 under has been plenty. if its more than .4, its super easy to loose quick detach turret and go up to 2 mils and tighten quickly without allens. I agree tho it sure is nice having the ability to dial below zero.

sorry for continuing to derail this thread about the Pro....
Is there a way to "defeat" the zero stop in the XTR III (like removing that triangle would defeat the zero stop on the Pro)?
Thanks. I've read the manual, and know how to set the zero stop. I'm trying to determine if I can eliminate the zero stop....or ideally, have the stop position set below zero.
I don't own either scope yet, or have a way of getting my hands on either. I'm trying to figure out if I should spend more for the Pro, or settle for the XTR at closeout pricing.
Sorry for the off topic.

You are asking correctly. You want to: have your scope at 0 and then be able to turn the turret to go below zero which would allow you to do a hold under if needed. Chickentoast is on the same page as you. Im not home to mess with my scope but Ill be trying the method mentioned above when I do get back. Im a little confused too but thats just cause I dont have the scope in front of me to attempt it.I think I'm not asking my question correctly. But I posted it in the XTR3 thread instead. Sorry for polluting this one. Thanks all for trying to help.
