Does anyone know if I can get the non capped windage turret for the illuminated 5.5-30 xtr3. Would prefer to have it non capped with your standard turret. But was told they don’t make it for the illuminated models.
My xtr3 came with exposed windage turret, It also came with cap in box if I wanted to cap. Contact Doug at Camerland. He will take care of you.
Incorrect. My new 3 illuminated has exposed, not capped. New stock must have been changed. Camerland has new stock.
Interesting. So do the new stock have the option for capped as well? The capped windage was a big plus for me and I was about to order another 5-30.
Apologize for spreading bad information, I will contact Burris today to verify then edit my post.

A windage cap is included in the scope box so you can cap if you want.
Ok, so it does not have the dedicated large exposed windage turret that matches the elevation turret? The original xtr3’s came with a small windage turret that could be capped or you could remove the small capped turret and replace it with a large windage turret that matched the elevation turret and could not be capped.
Here is a picture of the original non capped turret that came with the originals.

Correct. Windage is lower.

Does anyone know if Burris is still doing the first responder program? I’ve tried to reach out but haven’t received a response, likely from the holidays.
When I asked I was told it is through Expertvoice. They don't do direct. Also if going through Expertvoice don't plan to get the whole catalog of Burris as they only have some of the products from time to time. I was looking for a Pro a few months back and they didn't have them there and I tried contacting the person at Burris who handles Expertvoice about if they were going to be available through Expertvoice again and never got him to pick up his phone or return my call. I called more than a dozen times and left messages. Guess he doesn't speak with the public. So sign up and see if they have what you want. If not then go look at Liberty Optics as they have prices almost at Expertvoice level.
Thanks Rob. I have ExpertVoice and saw the price of the XTR3i and Pro’s being teased shortly after they were released but they quickly disappeared and I haven’t seen them pop up. I did also see what Scott had to offer but wasn’t sure if the price in the cart was going to be the end price. I’ll probably purchase through Liberty Optics when I’m ready to buy, unless they pop back up on EV. Just window shopping now.
Yeah I have seen the XTRIIIi pop up but Liberty Optics price was close to the same and the Expertvoice scope dropped off as you said. The cart price is the end price at Liberty but you can PM Scott and see what he says.
For those interested, Burris’s first responder program is only on ExpertVoice, like Rob mentioned. The individual at Burris that got back to me also mentioned that what is on EV is based on Burris’s inventory.
Stinks that Burris no longer includes the non-capped larger windage turret. Called them today to see about getting one and they do not have anymore.
If anyone has one they don’t want I’d be happy to buy it from you.

From what I understood, not producing them anymore. Will only have capped windage turrets.
My XTR3i 5.5-30x56 came last week and has both capped and exposed windage turrents included. Capped installed, exposed sitting in the box. Has a slot in the foam and everything. My friend bought one earlier this year and it didn't come with an exposed turret but did ship with a throw lever?
My XTR-3i 5.5-30x56 I bought from EuroOptic a few months ago didn't come with the spare exposed windage turret.
So, after reading a lot of the posts about the Burris XTR scope I am interested in the 5-30x56 illuminated. Its been out for a few years, so do all of you that bought one still like it for the price??
BTW, Europtics has them for $899 new. Is there a better deal???

I don't think you'll find a better deal than that on a new one. And yes, I still shoot mine almost weekly and still enjoying it.
To think that XTR3 is only $300 more than an arken really makes me rethink prior decisions.
The Arken may be a better scope… the Athlon Helos and Ares certainly are.
Low key I want that Athlon 2-12 FFP. They are amazing
Yep I have two of them, one went on my SPR and the MK4HD went down the road. They’re surprisingly good as is the 4-20 version. The worst part about them is feeling like a disgusting POS for buying chinesium and liking it.
Sold lol
Everyone gonna hate me but I put the Arken 4-16 FFP hunting scope on my 30-06 lol
I got 2 Ares 3-18 ETR’s to test out and slapped one on my Element 7PRC. It had a XTR3 on it previously but I sold it and two others because they suck.
I don’t think I could give an Arken the time of day though because of their shilling with every YouTube faggot having a discount code and getting a kick back. They’ve got an army of retards pimping their stuff.
Once I can get a 2-12 Athlon I’ll use the Arken for a 22 or something. Despite all the whoring they do get some things right
I’ll shoot you a text in a bit, you can use my sportsman’s guide account to order one if you’d like.
I have the 5.5-30x56 SCR2 MIL. Currently my local range only goes to 300, but I've spent plenty of time glassing things much further away.
Forgive my ignorance but I don't think I know the difference . Can you share a picture of the capped and exposed turrets on the Burris XTR??
I can’t speak to the Arken but considering I bought 4x XTR3 3-18’s, 2x Helos 2-12’s, 1x Helos 4-20, and 2x Ares 3-18’s I can say 100% that the Athlons are indeed better in every single regard.
The XTR’s have shit glass with horrible CA, the parallax knobs and mag ring are all stiff AF and the mag rings feel like shit, and the turrets have a significant amount of backlash.
The Helos has way less backlash and the Ares has almost none, both have more positive clicks, and the optical and build quality blow the Burris away.
Wasted words I know, but here goes anyway. Try to educate yourself before just blinding going into idiot mode. Quit making absurdly stupid, generalized posts expecting to be taken seriously. I’m trying to help you out here.
Generalized posts like “No they’re not” and “no you’re wrong”?
LOL ok guy. The only idiot here is you.

@redneckbmxer24 where your xtr3’s the illuminated or non illuminated version?
I’m a big xtr3 fan but your complaints on the scope are the same downsides I see with them but feel they are amazing for the price from what I have looked through. I have only looked through the non illuminated version and the Pro version.
The 2 3-18 xtr3’s I have used were noticeably less glass quality than the 5-30 in resolution. I’m not a huge glass guy but i had a harder time seeing bullet holes in targets and finding targets that are hidden in shadows.
I wish they would introduce a 3-18 pro version with the scr 2 1/4 reticle.
Only Athlon I have messed with is the Midas tac in 4-16 and 5-25. They were very impressive for the price but I preferred the xtr3 over them. I would like to check out the higher end athlons.

What would you compare the resolution of the Helos and Ares to? Mark5hd???
How was the eye box of them compared to the xtr3? That is something I noticed on the Midas was the eye box seemed pretty picky. ( to be transparent, this was when I was still running medium height rings to keep the scope lower before I was enlightened)

I like my xtr3s considerably more than I did my Cronus. I like them better than my xrs2. I thought they were a better value than my mk5. About the only thing I liked better about my mk5 was the turrets. If I was looking for a smaller lighter scope, the mk5 has that. It wasn't worth 2 xtr3s to me though. Especially when I can get something to hunt with that weighs 10 or 20oz less than most scopes mentioned in this thread.
I have never messed with the Phillipine built scopes but I have nothing but good things to say about my CO built scopes. Besides the dragon scale knurling. With a little dose of, i told you so.
