Great scope, but mine didn't work - Burris XTR II 1-5x24mm Illuminated Rifle Scope

I eagerly bought the Burris XTR II 1-5x having been a Burris fan for some time. The MTAC 1-4x is a great 3Gun scope that I'd had previously and I wanted to stretch things out slightly further with the 1-5x. Plus, the 5.56 BDC in the XTR II seemed appealing. I ordered easily from OpticsPlanet with a good price and quickly had my new scope in hand.

The glass is very, very good - great clarity and light transmission, plus a very clear reticle. Its a nice scope. The only problem with mine was that the illumination did not work beyond the fourth setting. No - it wasn't washed out in bright daylight. It simply didn't work. The dial goes to 11 (haha), but only worked on 1-4. I tried replacing battery, cleaning contacts - nothing. Had to return to OpticsPlanet for refund. But good glass for sure.
