[QUOTE="Garycrow, post: 1381319, member: 30743"] Jesus Christ, don’t any of you guys understand the use of a metaphor? The glass isn’t literally “coke bottle” grade but it’s not up to the quality I’d expect from a $700-$1200 scope. I have a bunch of scopes ranging a $150 nitrex on one prairie dog rifle up to Swarovski, Nightforce and Meopta. The burris is closer in glass quality to the nitrex than the high end scopes yet was closer in price to the Swarovski than the nitrex. A couple of Leupold VX-2’s of mine have better glass. Sorry if that ruffles feathers but that’s my opinion from the veracity I own and the XTR II that my buddy owns. It’s still a good scope and I like the feature set, but they skimped on the glass. It’s sad that so many think it’s OK for burris to skimp on a scope that “only” costs a grand. $1000 isn’t cheap and if the quality of the glass matched the rest of the scope it would be a real bargain. Is it good enough for F class? Sure it is, but I want better glass for a serious hunting rifle. I take hunting a lot more serious than target shooting. [/QUOTE]
