I am personally very pleased with my XTR2. Nightforce rail and seekins rings complete the package.

How about looking through both brands of scope and letting your eyes decide?


Don’t roll those bloodshot eyes at me.

For my eyes Burris is better than Vortex but that does no one else any good.

I have a Burris on my CTR. I also own more than a few Vortex scopes. I like the Burris more than the Vortex.


God bless John Wayne!

Both company's make some great rifle scopes. Right now Burris has $100.00 rebate on XTR's until July 31st. Put a pic rail on that Tikka and you can mount whatever you want.
