RFI: Burris XTR II 1 - 8 X 24. Optic for Tikka T3X Compact Lite .308.

[Wyoming Shooter]

Gentlemen - I have a new Tikka T3X Compact Lite in .308 and am searching for the appropriate optic. An intriguing new option is the Burris XTR II 1 - 8 X 24 http://www.burrisoptics.com/scopes/x...lescope-1-8x24. I hope to build a light, compact, accurate, fast, and versatile general purpose rifle for knocking around the Wyoming back country. Terrain varies from dense timber to desert. Anticipated ranges run from 10 - 500 yards. I have already purchased a 20 MOA rail from Mountain Tactical and a Rhodesian biothane sling from Andy's leather. Does anyone have personal experience with this optic? Do you have other recommendations? Thanks from the Big Empty. ELN

CST - Thanks for the information and images. I'm also interested in the new Vortex PST Gen 2 1 - 6 X 24 http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/...eticle/reticle. Any thoughts as to how the Burris and Vortex might compare?

They are not expected until Spring 2017, but I can tell you after Shot Show
Vortex's press release on them last Friday:

I'm impressed with the Burris for the money, I'm going to grab one for a .308 AR10 eventually.

My Burris 5-25x50 XTR II SCR says made in the Philippines. Warranty is lifetime.

I have had it for a couple months and am very happy with it, mounted on a 223AI so not a lot of recoil. The glass is very good, actually impressed me the first time I shot at 900 yards with it and realized I only had it on 12x.

Lots of nice features for the price point. I was going to get a Nightforce SHV, which I believe are made in Japan, but I wanted more than 15x in a FFP scope, and the Burris is $200 less.

Also look at the Leupold VXR Firedot. They have 2-7x and 3-9x versions.

I forgot, the VX6 2-12x is another good but expensive choice.
