Guys,
Got a 6.5-284 Norma coming in about 4 weeks and trying to pick out some glass without totally breaking the bank. The Burris XTR II is primarily touted as a tactical scope but I was wondering if any of you are using it in hunting applications and if so, how do you like it? I have 2 Vortex HS-Ts and I think they are pretty decent but I'm thinking that the Burris might be a cut above, and would be FFP instead of the usual second focal plane set-ups I'm used to. It would have the SCR-MOA reticle, possibly illuminated, which would be a plus but not required. I'm thinking I'll keep most "engagements" within 500 yards (this constitutes "long range hunting" for me) so the 3 X 15 will be enough but I have not ruled out the 4 X 20 either. Thoughts?
