Got the XTRIII 3.3-18 on order direct from Burris (warranty upgrade) and wondered if any body has one in hand yet?
Burris XTR3 Illuminated models available yet?

Thanks for responding.... I've read that I was hoping for more user comments in the "wild"
They aren't in the wild yet. Burris is making a correction on the knurling, they want it softened up a bit more. The magnification ring is fine, the turrets feel just like the US made XTRII, but the parallax knob is sharp for some reason.
So they'll get the turrets and parallax parts swapped on the first batch and get those out and start sending out bigger batches once they have a green light that the scope is exactly as they want it.
Everything else is the same as the US version so far. Glass is very nice, mag ring is smooth, I'm excited for these to hit the stores.
I'm more than excited... based on what CS said when I placed my order, I might be on the first batch. It is good to see they are tweaking the final product and from what I've read, this should be a killer scope in a crowded market. I do appreciate your update! Now I'm going to camp on the curb and wait for delivery!!
Join the club.
Consider yourself lucky you've hoped aboard this close to the end.
I'm curious how bright the illumination is on them too. Considering getting one to upgrade the scope on my hunting rifle
It's not daylight bright like an LPVO. But it is visible when you need it.
I played with it on a rainy, overcast day last week, the illumination looked good. It was very functional. Even though it really wasn't such a dark day that it was necessary in a hunting scenario. I could still see my reticle just fine.
I'm actually kind of fond of the green illumination.
