Yall teasing mf-ers, I'm guessing illumination.
Just saw a video on the X-ring YouTube channel. Is this is the prototype XTRIII? It has the red ring around the elevation turret knob.
We are. And I apologize. We're just having some fun with it.
The curtain pulls back really soon..
From the grainy YouTube video it looks like it may be a switch rather than a button. Since we already know that the illumination appears controlled in the typical manner, what else could that be on the turret? LRF? Nah. What about a switch for a spring loaded mechanism that when slid to the right will immediately bring you back to zero?
hate to go off topic with these annoyin pics...but I figure you guys will appreciate it. Wish I could tell more. As the scope is appearing at more and more matches...I cant not share the love. Cant answer specifics right now just my and my dog doing some rimfire practice this weekend!

I like the new knurling on the turrets, mag ring and ocular focus, any idea if that will carry over to the production version? Same glass as the OG version?
Since pictures and video are out there already, could we get a top down picture wherein we can make our own inferences to what this mystery XTR might be called.
I ask because my “enhance” button is currently disabled.

The mucky mucks at Burris might punch us in the eye if we go that far. It's really close though to rolling out.
I vividly remember a middle school fist fight that involved a clenched fist flying into my eye. I can understand why you’re trying to avoid eye punches…
I hope Burris is compensating @D_TROS & @Birddog6424 well... I keep forgetting this optic exists until you guys post about it. You do 99% of the marketing for them on forums.
It might have been said and I missed it but the red isn't going to be the only option is it? I'm guessing/hoping not.

Just like with the brown Razor, I'm sure the red highlights won't see universal love.
To the best of my knowledge, that's what we have for now.
It certainly blows my color scheme, my rifles are Zombie Green!
Doesn't show reticle subtensions or explain the turret button.You can zoom in so far on that pic you can "almost" see everything..
Good looking dog
Think you need to drop some more random pictures/specs.....
I'm debating on taking a small file to the tips of the scales to make it little more comfortable. I've done it on a cheaper scope and turned out alright.
The turret button is for when you want a MK5, but have XTRIII money....
Just joking!! I sold my MK5s and use a XTRIII now.

We know there's illumination - can you tell us if the entire scr2 reticle is illuminated or just the main vertical and horizontal like the illumination on the mil-xt? I need to replace my 2 comp optics and if these fit the bill I'll need them asap lol
Entire reticle. Shooting night matches with the milxt is almost impossible to hold over.
I vote opposite. Too much illumination in the view washes everything out. Will be a deal breaker for a night hunting scope like I've been waiting for the 3-18 to be.
Yup just cross.
Even if the illumination goes very dim a full illuminated tree washes out a target pretty badly in fading light.
If tried centre dot, full tree and main cross and find just main cross to be the best option by far.
I saw this, checked back to post 1674, and lost it.
Saddest part is, I saw the post and watched the instructional video a couple hours ago lol
It won't please everyone, but in the SCR its a cross.
Burris had a fully illuminated grid in the H591 XTRII, it was ok, but not great.

Real soon. Shot at the absolute latest, which is in a few weeks. But that last date I heard for the planned announcement is less than a week out.
So fingers crossed we have no delays.
illum goes from 2 mils on ea side and 4 mils down…plenty for night match. Unless you shoot a 223 at a night prs match in OK you may need more wind lol hashtagthatsucked.

What about the reticle people are actually interested in....
Can you ask that Burris releases the subtension drawings at release, and that they actually make sense rather than the current ones on the website.
Oh and if the reticle in the 3.3-18 isn't thicker than the one in thee 5.5-30 can you please give the product manager a round house kick.
Much appreciated.
They have subtension drawings. Download the manual for the scope.
I'm not sure what happened to the English manual but math reads the same in all languages
Edit**
That being said, it lists them the same for the 3-18 and 5-30 which I'm not sure is right. The reticles in each scope is etched "SCR-2 18x" or "SCR-2 30x". I can't imagine they would etch them differently if the reticle was exactly the same.
