Never noticed any in mine but never had to clean the lenses since I had them. If it doesn’t effect the view through the scope then ignore it.
Burris XTR Pro 🇺🇸

I wound up getting a ZCO from a local guy. The Pro is in the PX waiting for someone to steal it for what I have it listed at.
I know, shit happens. Burris Customer Service seems to be top notch so far. We'll see how long it takes to get them back, I was quoted 4 weeks.
Can you see the spots while looking though the scope? if not, I'd just run it.
On one of them is was very noticeable, hence why I wanted to clean them. They've already shipped out. Regardless if it's noticeable or not it shouldn't be a issue to begin with.
Who you calling a Fudd?!?It's more like two weeks normally. But optics manufacturers are overrun by Fudds every hunting season
I really like the March .075 center dot - I haven't encountered the "it covers too much target issue." I am decidedly NOT in the smaller/finer is better crowd. I also have yet to encounter a use for 10 mrad of wind holds, probably because I don't shoot in hurricanes or tornados. That's about as useful as 15+ mrad of elevation holds... ;-)
One of my upper level stats professors worked a stint with Harley Davidson back in the day, and they did an analysis on production by day of the week. One of the results was that items manufactured on a Monday were somewhere between 100-150% higher risk of having defects than on other days. Another Stats professor loved to start each class with anecdotes about customers to his firm asking to help them achieve 100% quality in every bottle of milk produced, and he told them he'd have to take every bottle they produced apart and ruin it in order to achieve that.
Acceptable error based on sample size is a thing, or nothing would make it to consumers' hands. QC is generally carried out by humans. Humans have Mondays. We should all learn to move on.
Does anyone know what the original non-illum SCR reticle thickness is? It appears thicker, I'm considering the US made scope with an SCR reticle for a hunting rig over a SCR2 illum model. A Pro model may go onto my precision rifle build.
I’ve had both, the
version and the illuminated version. I sold the version in favor of illumination so I could use it for PRS and hunting. I don’t think the version reticle was any thicker than the illuminated version.That lines up with their spec sheet, it looks like the US SCR reticle is .04mil, the illum SCR2 is .035, so pretty close. I'm trying to find some way to put one to use. They're so dang affordable right now and US made.I’ve had both, the
Has anyone seen any blems available lately? I got a great deal on an XTR Pro blem from Midway, looking to buy another and hoping to get the same price. Love this scope! I would just get the XTR iii but I'd really like to have the same reticle (1/4mil).
1599 and couldn't really find anything wrong with it, maybe uneven coating towards the front bell?
I dont know I had a run in with stiener blems a few years back. Bought a m7xi in brown. For like 1800. Thought it was a good buy. Still the worse optical sample I’ve seen in a m7xi. So bad I have to return it and they replaced it after a lot of hassle. Worse off cs rep ran my serial number and it already had a rma history on it. I think they call them “blems” but really they are just defective units they don’t wanna fix…I like Steiner and Burris but sometimes they get some iffy employees in there that don’t care.
No dust, but i haven't looked for it. The scope is clear as day and the best one I've ever looked through, so that's all I care about. The turrets are slightly on the mushy side, especially compared to my Cronus. I have zero issue dialing to the setting I need in a hurry though. Feel like turret feel is preference. Should I expect firmer turrets though? Anyone elses really notchy/clicky? Mine feel good honestly, not bad, but they're not as stiff as some other scopes I have.
Sorry man, don't pay me any attention, I just Like Tactile and audible turrets is all and the Burris just didn't do it for me.. Thats why we have many options, you may like something that I don't and vise versa..
All good. They’re definitely not as stiff as my athlons. But my first impression was that I liked them. For me it’s all about how quickly and easily you can dial exactly where you want. As long as I’m happy with that I’m happy. Some may not like the feel of course. Just wondering if my turrets are different than others, sounds like they’re not.
I would like to clarify that my Burris turrets are still “clicky and audible” just in a softer way
Take the o ring out and it will go from mushy to really nice
And then in a couple of weeks bash burris for having dust in there? Now we’re getting somewhere.
I've been running these since the xtr 3 was first released an no dust has got in there. I've shot in some of the harshest conditions with no ill effects. Do you also think that o ring holds the gas inside the scope
Whuuut..? There’s gas in a scope? Sounds dangerous….
Scopes are nitrogen purged although wasting my time writing this when you think your going to get dust in your scope is quiet novel
Clearly you don’t know what sarcasm is there Snickelfritz
Of course he doesn’t. He’s too smart to catch humor when it bites him in the ass.
If the reticle is in 1/4 mil, are the click adjustments on the turrets also different? Or are they still .1 mil? Does that mess things up at all?
I'm with you. It's fucking retarded. It makes the people who claim MOA sucks because fractions seem intelligent.
That's highly debatable. I have a habit of not following the herd when the herd makes stupid decisions.
Is .2mil and .25mil not different?1/4 mil
My oh my what did we ever do when we had only .5 and 1 mil increments on a reticle
Joking aside. I agree. Trends come and go.
That was suboptimal too.
.25 mils is dumb. If my target is in between subtensions, it's either .125, .375, .625, or .875 mils away. Now what do I dial if that's my choice to solve the problem?
This makes the MOA is dumb because fractions people look positively retarded. Anyone can add fractions of four lightning fast unless they have an IQ under 70.
I for one really like the 1/4 mil reticle in my pros. I have used the scr2 for years but like the slightly less cluttered reticle. I have bad eyes and with less hash marks it is easier for my eyes to focus.
And as far as the reticle and turrets matching. I don’t dial wind I only dial elevation. And holding wind, is the .05mil finer hold on the scr2 going to cause a hit and the 1/4 would miss??? I’m far from a great shooter but 1/4 mil is plenty fine enough to make corrections for wind and misses even on small targets.
The least amount of info in a reticle to get the results needed I think make it easier to understand and use the reticle without confusion as well as make it faster for my brain to pick the right spot in the reticle and not get lost.
I know I’m probably in the minority here but just giving my opinion and experience.
