As a relative beginner to serious shooting, this is my first "serious" scope. I primarily shoot longer range targets and initially intended to purchase the latest variation of the Vortex PST Gen II 5-25x FFP. However, I decided to go with the Burris XTR II instead, as it is regarded as a cut above other Burris scopes and has similar features to the Steiner 5-25x 56mm (which shares the same parent company as Burris). The fit and finish are great and I mounted it with 6 screw 34mm Weaver rings. The scope is illuminated, but I don't find it useful for my shooting needs. The adjustments are crisp and tactile, with a hard zero for elevation. The scope holds zero and returns to zero with no issues, and I plan to test it further by making more extreme adjustments. So far, the system and shooter are consistently 1/2 MOA and improving. I find the scope clear and bright, but I can't compare it to other scopes as I am still new to serious shooting. I encourage you to give the Burris XTR II a chance.

This is an excellent scope with precise tracking that rivals those twice its price. I box-tested the scope on a 10 mill target and it was never off by even a 1/10 of a mill on any of the 10 dots. I took it out to 1100 yards on top of my Ruger Precision in 6mm, dialed the range, and it was dead on. I then dialed it back to zero and used the SCR reticle to hold over, and it was still dead on. Whether you're on a budget or not, this is a fantastic scope.

Whether you're a novice shooter, competing, in special operations, or just looking to have some fun, the Burris XRT is the perfect glass for you. Many people believe that big-name brands like US Optics are better, but that's not necessarily true, as they may have just secured a contract. Burris offers six models of the XRT, so you can get amazing craftsmanship and pick the reticle and turrets that suit you best. As a former operator, I used the military's SR25 as I had no other choice, but I built my own rifle and mounted the Burris XRT on top. I can shoot 1000 meter shots with it, so don't waste your money on other brands. I hope you find this information useful.

Comparing it to Schmidt & Bender which is a 9.9, the Burris scope is a solid 9. Although I initially had lower expectations, I was pleasantly surprised by its performance. The clicks are accurate and the clarity of the glass is almost as good as my Schmidt & Bender scope of the same power. I tested both scopes side by side at different ranges and the difference was barely noticeable. The Burris scope has great light gathering ability and the clicks are so accurate that I only needed 2 shots to sight in my .338. The lighted reticle is also excellent, but I don't plan on using it for my type of shooting. Overall, this scope beats all my other scopes except for my 5-25x56 Schmidt & Bender and is better than my Vortex Viper, Zeiss, and Leupold scopes in every aspect. Plus, it costs less than a third of my Schmidt & Bender. I highly recommend this scope, especially with Burris' lifetime warranty that guarantees 100% satisfaction.

I had a positive experience with this scope and provided detailed information on its features and performance. The scope has a durable construction, with a one-piece tube made of aircraft-grade aluminum, and is also fog-proof and waterproof. The author found the glass to be clear and the reticle to be easy to use, with adjustable illumination settings. The scope also has a zero-stop elevation turret and a side focus parallax adjustment. The author was impressed with the scope's accuracy and ease of use, and highly recommends it for long-range shooting. Overall, the review was informative and gave me a good understanding of the Burris XTR II 5-25x50 riflescope.

As a precision shooter, I was impressed with the scope's high-quality glass, which provided excellent clarity and brightness, even in low-light conditions. The scope's reticle options and turret system also stood out to me, with the Zero Click Stop elevation and windage adjustment system making precise adjustments a breeze. Overall, I found the Burris XTR II 5-25x50mm riflescope to be a reliable and versatile option for long-range shooting.

The scope features a 5-times zoom system, thicker tube construction than its predecessor, a front focal plane reticle design that adjusts the reticle size proportionally with magnification, and Hi-Lume multi-coated lenses. The reviewer notes that the scope provides exceptional clarity, with the reticle remaining proportional regardless of the magnification level. The scope also includes precision adjustment knobs and Zero Click Stop technology, and is shockproof and vibration-resistant. The reviewer concludes that the Burris XTR II is a high-quality riflescope worth considering for long-range shooting.

I have a great appreciation for Burris products, as I have found them to be of high quality. However, I found this particular scope to be rather heavy, so I decided to return it and purchase a Leupold VX-6 4-24x52, which is much lighter. Despite this, I must say that Burris products have exceptional clarity, and I own several other Burris scopes that have impressed me with their performance.
