Burris XTR III Rifle Scope 5.5-30x56mm FFP SCR Mil Illum

The Burris XTR III Rifle Scope 5.5-30x56mm FFP SCR Mil Illum represents the evolution of tactical optics designed for precision shooters who demand reliability in high-stakes field conditions. Built in Greeley, Colorado, this first focal plane riflescope combines competition-grade optical engineering with tactical application versatility, making it an ideal choice for law enforcement marksmen, military personnel, and competitive long-range shooters who require uncompromising accuracy across extended distances. The XTR III line builds upon Burris's reputation for durability and optical clarity, incorporating fresh reticle designs that enhance situational awareness without sacrificing light transmission or target definition.

The 5.5-30x magnification range paired with the 56mm objective lens delivers superior light gathering and edge-to-edge clarity across all magnification levels—critical for low-light operations and engagement scenarios where target acquisition speed directly impacts mission success. The first focal plane (FFP) reticle design ensures the SCR Mil reticle maintains accurate holdover and wind compensation values at any magnification setting, eliminating the need for magnification-dependent mental calculations that slow tactical decision-making. Illuminated reticle functionality enhances target contrast in suboptimal lighting conditions, while the precision turret system—a hallmark of Burris tactical optics—provides repeatable, audible adjustments with confident mechanical feedback. The robust optical construction withstands the recoil stresses inherent in high-powered rifle platforms and extended field deployment.

This scope serves professionals across law enforcement sniper teams, military designated marksman roles, and precision competition environments where glass-to-glass performance directly correlates with operational effectiveness. The 5.5x minimum magnification supports close-range target engagement and rapid target transitions, while the 30x maximum enables precise long-range ballistic solutions beyond 1,000 meters. Installation on modern tactical rifle platforms equipped with Picatinny rails requires standard scope rings; compatibility extends across most .338 Lapua, .300 Win Mag, .308 Winchester, and comparable high-power rifle systems. The 3.44 lb weight represents an engineered balance between optical performance and system maneuverability, preventing shooter fatigue during sustained fieldwork.
