[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 915773, member: 34084"] The tube size has nothing to do with image brightness. Only objective size, magnification and lens coatings effect image brightness. Larger tube size increases elevation adjustment and tube rigidity. It can also improve field of view. I saw the XTR-II scopes at the SHOT Show. I liked them mechanically, but a couple of the models that I saw had excessive chromatic aberration. The show samples were pretty beat up. I suspect they were engineering samples. The Veracity scopes I looked at did not have that issue. I strongly suspect the two lines share the same optical design in the 2-10X, 3-15X, 4-20X and 5-25X models. Re-use of common optical designs seems to be a Burris strategy to keep prices low. If so, the production XTR-II scopes should be fine. I would wait until production units start shipping later his month, and see if any early customers complain about the optics. If not, these scopes should be up to the usual Burris standards of good resolution and contrast. [/QUOTE]
