I have a Sightron S3 First focal plane scope.
For the money, there is nothing with better optical performance. The Japanese glass is great.
Also, if you are shooting long distance, tracking is far far FAR more important than the actual quality of the glass. This thing is spot on. Crank it up, then crank it down, and it comes back to exactly the same place.
I'm probably going to put a Burris XTR II on the silenced 16" Rem 700 in .308 that I'm cobbling together now.
One note is that if you are a NRA instructor, you can get Burris for 50% off of list.

p.s. the only thing I missed on the Sightron in a precision rifle class that I took at Sig was a zero stop.
DRB, let me know what you think of it.
Like I said above, I'm looking for a new scope for another bolt gun. Although I really like the Sightron, I'm curious about the Burris XTR. Its not some farmed out chinese scope made by the lowest bidder.
Its made on Burris equipment in the Philippines, which has become the best place to get reasonably priced glass. (Nikon has a factory there)
Dan,

How often to you get up to HSC?

Thanks for the up date, although im not a huge fan of how "busy" a mil dot style scope is im glad you posted on the burris. St least they post the sizes of all thier hash marks. My current problem with most scopes is how much of the target (bulls eyes) the reticle actually covers.
Do you have the SCR reticle?
