My throw lever arrived. It fits very tight on the ring and works so much better than the gnurled ring. The scope is now useable.

THANK YOU. Just picked one up. You sir are a credit to society.I don't know if anyone has noticed Burris has the mil race dial in stock.

Same. Thanks for the heads up! Much appreciated.THANK YOU. Just picked one up. You sir are a credit to society.
I received one not long ago and no. None on my 3.3-18. Any minute turn is actually doing something. There’s no slop.I haven't read through this entire thread yet. Sorry if this has been answered already.
Is there a perceptible amount of backlash in the parallax adjustment knob (in the 3.3-18 and the 5.5-30)?
Absolutely none in any of mine either.I haven't read through this entire thread yet. Sorry if this has been answered already.

So Burris did nothing to help free up the magnification resistance but simply had a "quality tech" confirm the resistance is "normal"."The feel of the power ring and PA knob are normal, had confirmation from a quality tech."

Thanks to you both (for answering my parallax slop question).Absolutely none in any of mine either.
Someone previously mentioned "dragon scales" and I agree, man these things dig in, glad they redesigned for the XTR Pro.To all the people bitchin' about the "aggressive" texturing on the turrets and mag ring...
You're right.
Great for gloves, but bare hands, they will chew up skin and flesh in short order.
That said, the turrets on the new one I played with are not tight at all. Though the mag ring is fairly tight, it's not unacceptable with a throw lever on it and may loosen up in time.
Glass seems excellent for the $ during the short time I peeked through it.
Yeah, honestly I thought to myself that the people whining about the aggressive texturing were soft keyboard warriors who spent more time molesting their rifles in their basement than actually shooting them.Someone previously mentioned "dragon scales" and I agree, man these things dig in, glad they redesigned for the XTR Pro.
Top of page 43, makes a huge difference.Someone posted they used some bike inner tube over the knobs. Might be worth a shot
Yes, you can set the zero stop to be below 0 or whatever number you want. For both the PRO and XTR3.Sorry, I don't own the scope (yet), or have access to one to see it for myself before purchasing.
Is it possible to remove the zero stop? Or have the stop position be set to what would be a hold under position?
Edit: say I wanted the stop position to be 2 mils of hold under. Is this possible? Or is the hard stop always at 0?
Yes you can set the ZS anywhere you like the reply from Chickentoast in the Pro thread explained how to do it.Sorry, I don't own the scope (yet), or have access to one to see it for myself before purchasing.

Perfect. Thank you!Some pics for you...
1. Start zeroed, unable to dial down.
2. Loosen cap and pull up - caps have vacuum so they try to suck back down - re-tighten.
3. Dial the amount under you would like to have. It will click now because cap is tight.
4. Loosen cap again and push it down. Re-tighten.
5. Click back to Zero!

Thanks @Chickentoast. The last pic is the light bulb moment (for my dumb ass)....at least I think so. The knob bottoms out on the flange in between the knob and the body....and where it bottoms is the hard stop. Right?
Thanks to everyone else for the help too.
Got a 5.5x30x56 SCR on the way for my kid. What size tube did you use?View attachment 7806162Turret hack. If you’re not a fan of the dragon scales, like me, I found a cheap solution. Cut a small slice of a bicycle inner tube and stretch around it. Stays put pretty well and feels so much better.
Go to a bike shop. They will have a ton of old ones that have popped etc that they are just throwing away and will give you more than you need. Ask for one old mountain bike and one road bike one and that should cover you for pretty much anythingGot a 5.5x30x56 SCR on the way for my kid. What size tube did you use?
It’s old but here’s a pic.Got a 5.5x30x56 SCR on the way for my kid. What size tube did you use?
Thank you for the quick reply. I think there is an old bike in an out building of a house we bought now that I think about it.
I wonder if we can cut 1” pieces of this and sell them for $25 - “better than a throw lever, the new throw rubber!”
We can get $39.99 if we put tactical on the box.I wonder if we can cut 1” pieces of this and sell them for $25 - “better than a throw lever, the new throw rubber!”
I bet if somebody made FDE inner tubes this would 100% work!I wonder if we can cut 1” pieces of this and sell them for $25 - “better than a throw lever, the new throw rubber!”
Ya, they are called Ranger Bands. Basically the same damn thing that gets sold for wayyyy more than it shouldI wonder if we can cut 1” pieces of this and sell them for $25 - “better than a throw lever, the new throw rubber!”
Ah a masochist. This scope will fit you well.Sounds like I need to save up and get one, I always wish my stuff had more aggressive texture.
Nah, just have man hands lolAh a masochist. This scope will fit you well.
Mine has a bit of slop if you crank it fast back and forth you can feel it. Anyone else? It’s just a tiny bit of play before it hits a wall and starts moving. Seems to work okay but I have minimal rounds on it so far.I haven't read through this entire thread yet. Sorry if this has been answered already.

Throw rubbers is more marketable. Ranger bands sound like something for a man bunYa, they are called Ranger Bands. Basically the same damn thing that gets sold for wayyyy more than it should
Mine (5.5-30) was delivered yesterday. Still waiting on rings to show up so I can mount it. But I have run the parallax back and forth many, many times. No backlash. The knob itself does rub on the housing ever so slightly, in some spots.Mine has a bit of slop if you crank it fast back and forth you can feel it. Anyone else?
