Review for
Burris XTR II 1.5-8x28mm Rifle Scope
Got this scope to replace a Vortex Viper PST 1-4*24. I bought this because of 1.5-8 variable magnification (my eyes are getting old).
Appearance - Great looking with a very rugged look. It's Big and long.
Feel - Turrets are tight and good solid click. Variable adjustment is tight which I really like.
Eye Relief - definitely 4". I was immediately impressed.
Glass (Clarity) - IMO it's better than Vortex I just sold... Very Clear at any magnification.
Reticle - Dual Focal Plain... That's why I bought this optic. With my eyes, having the optic grow as you get into higher magnifications is a huge plus. DFP allows reticle to be accurate at any magnification. I think this is going to be the way of the future.
Brightness - AWESOME. I was really disappointed with brightness on Vortex Viper. Burris is amazing in any light without halo'ing you might see in cheaper optics.
Weight - Only downside. It's definitely a heavier optic. If weight is a big issue, then this may not be optic for you.
Lastly, If your concerned about ths 1.5 base magnification. Don't. It doesn't affect aiming or shot close up.
