Burris 5.5-30x 56mm XTR Pro Rifle Scope, Black, 202223

I use this for PRS/NRL22 competition and overall it’s a great scope for this purpose, however the turret design leaves a lot to be desired. The toolless zero sounds good on paper but it requires a LOT of force to open the locking lever and you’ll often need a tool to do it, you’ll also likely to move the turret a few clicks if you are not super careful with it. The race turret is a nice touch, however if you put the inner turret all the way in, the race turret won’t lock in place, you have to raise the inner turret ever slightly to ensure the race turret locks in place and you can’t raise it too much or the zero stop won’t work properly. Because of the double turret design, there’s always some wiggle in the turrets making precise dialing sometimes difficult. I hope they redesign the turrets to better execute these nice features.

This is a really nice scope. It’s a great scope for the money. Burris shipped it out promptly like they always have done. I like that it comes with a competition elevation turret, scope caps, level and throw lever and sun shade too. I do wish the scope caps were up to the same standards as the scope itself. To be honest they are a bit flimsy. Onto the important stuff. It’s got clear glass even with the magnification at full power. It’s good in overcast and full sun. The reticle is of nice design. It is rather thin but still useful. I have the same reticle in my RT25.

Scope has great features for price point. I like the color options for the reticle. SCR 2 reticle is useful without being too cluttered. The inclusion of flip up caps and the two turrets is great.

I gave this scope a try after loving the Steiner T6xi since they are made in the same place, and same reticle. Great scope, clarity is on point, turrets are positive, I still like my Steiner over it, but I've also run them 2 years longer, but this scope is mixed into my match gun rotation.
