    Anyone have any experience with the Burris xtr ii 1.5-8? I know it isn't Nightforce durable but does anyone know if it's durable enough for some abuse?

    Interesting. Guess I'll have to go do some reading/researching.

    There are lots of rumors, none of which I plan on confirming, but they are very appealing and sexy rumors.

    If I was guessing a certain someone sold a Nightforce 1-4 in preparation for a certain rumor.

    This is one of those situations where it's like fight club. 1st rule: you do not talk about fight club.

    Honestly, no. Why? Because I have not heard a solid rumor on WHEN this new greatness will drop. I am pretty sure when it will be announced, and I know all sorts of things ABOUT it, but not the WHEN CAN I HAVE IT! Further, I am a fan of proven solutions. The company involved has done a ton of T&E and so forth on things, but I am still a fan of: "Has this thing gone to war?" The F-117's RAM paint washing off in a rain storm is a prime example of why this matters to me.

    I sold my Nightforce 1-4, honestly planning on scooping up a Mark 6 1-6 TMR-D. I wanted another 2x out of the system.

    I was just speculating since you have suggested to some to wait for the Nightforce 1-8.

    I don't believe I ever specifically said there would be a NF 1-8 (not that there will...or won't...or I'll ever say...). I simply said to wait for NF.

I ran it through the power range several times and at every level - very clear and bright with zero color variations or aberrations. We'll see how it holds up under bench use - hopefully the problems noted are not recoil induced. I did some research, obviously not enough, and missed this.
    Sorry, missed this. The first time I looked at the sr8c and noticed issues was when they showed it at SHOT. This was quite awhile ago. That thread I linked is also a couple years old. It sounds like there may have simply been some teething issues to work through, and the current generation are top notch. I believe voodoo loves his, if I'm not mistaken?
