Xtreme Tactical Riflescopes User Guide This user guide includes information for the entire XTR II riflescope line. Please review thoroughly, and pay close attention to the details pertaining to your specific riflescope model.
Congratulations on choosing the XTR II™ riflescope from Burris®. The XTR II has improved upon the original Xtreme Tactical Riflescope design, now offering these premium features: • Five Times Zoom System. Highly versatile five times zoom system allows for a larger field of view at close ranges and better target acquisition at long ranges. • Zero Stop Adjustment Knobs. Allows shooter to quickly and easily revert back to the original sight-in setting without counting clicks. • Tactical Reticles.
How to use the XTR II Riflescope Eyepiece Focusing The eyepiece can be focused so that the reticle appears sharp and black. Adjusting the focus is quick and easy to do, just follow this procedure: 1. Point the scope at the sky or a plain wall and take a quick glance through the scope. If the reticle appears sharp and black, no further adjustment is necessary. 2.
Windage/Elevation Adjustment for Multi-Turn Knobs – Applies to 2x-10; 3x-15x; 4x-10x; 5x-25x; and 8x-40x models – The windage and elevation knobs are designed for precise adjustment. The click value for each knob is indicated on the dial. For shooting at extreme distances, the elevation knob offers up to 8 mils/rotation with multi revolutions of adjustment (8x-40x models have 10 MOA/rotation). This riflescope is shipped from the factory with the optical center set 20 MOA below center.
“0”. With the screws loose, push down firmly on the knob until it is fully seated on the turret base and then retighten the set screws. NOTE: Windage adjustments are made with a multi-direction adjustment knob. Zero is set with an indexing mark to allow for left and right adjustments. Failure to zero at the index Proper Windage Zero mark may result in limited windage adjustment. Windage/Elevation Adjustment for Single-Turn Knobs – Applies to 1x-5x and 1.
Illuminated Reticle Adjustment Models with an illuminated reticle make it easier to see the reticle in low light conditions.The intensity of the illumination is controlled by the rotary illumination switch located on the left side of the adjustment turret. The switch has 11 intensity levels and a “battery saver” position in between each level that turns off the illumination.
Mounting the Scope Most XTR II riflescopes require 34mm rings; the 1x-5x requires 30mm rings. We recommend using high-quality rings and bases, like the Burris Xtreme Tactical Rings and Xtreme Tactical Bases. Quality components ensure that your scope will remain safely and securely mounted, and will provide the maximum accuracy. Use care when mounting your scope as damage caused by improper mounting is not covered by the Burris Forever Warranty.
XTR II Riflescope Reticles XTR II riflescopes give you a variety of reticle choices, and feature front, rear, or dual focal plane systems. Front Focal Plane (FFP) Front Focal Plane systems (sometimes referred to as First Focal Plane systems) place the reticle in front of the erector assembly or zoom mechanism. This allows the reticle to change size as magnification is adjusted. In FFP systems, when magnification is increased, the reticle size grows; as magnification is lowered, the reticle size shrinks.
Dual Focal Plane System The XTR II Dual Focal Plane system separates the center aiming point and crosshairs of the reticle, placing the center in the RFP and the crosshairs in the FFP. This allows the center aiming point to remain a constant size, ensuring the dot is large enough to be effective at low power for close quarter shooting. The crosshairs (which are in the FFP) change size with magnification, meaning the measurements are always correct and proportionate to the magnification.
XTR II Ballistic 5.56 Gen 2 Illuminated Reticle (RFP) Rear Focal Plane Reticle Calibrated to a .223 62gr FMJ at 3025 fps@2000’ altitude, .307 BC. *Subtensions shown for High Power Magnification. XTR Ballistic 5.56 Gen 2 Illuminated Rear Focal Plane reticle helps shooters achieve maximum accuracy with 5.56/.223 ammunition. It utilizes milradian measurements and an illuminated “broken circle” with center dot that allows for ultra-fast engagement at short distances.

XTR II Ballistic CQ Mil Illuminated Reticle Rear Focal Plane Reticle XTR Ballistic CQ Mil Illuminated Rear Focal Plane reticle utilizes milradian measurements and an illuminated “broken circle” with center dot that allows for ultra-fast engagement at short distances. The RFP design keeps the reticle size constant, ensuring it’s large enough to be successful when close quarter shooting while still performing well during long-range, precision shooting. Outside dia. = 2.25 mil Inside dia. = 1.
G2 Mil Dot Illuminated Reticle Front Focal Plane Reticle The G2B Illuminated Mil-Dot Focal Plane Reticle is a mil-based reticle with hash marks in between the mil dots for more precise aiming, distance measurement, holdover and hold-off for wind. The center portion of the reticle is illuminated on models with illumination capabilities.
F-Class MOA Illuminated Reticle Front Focal Plane Reticle The F-Class MOA Illuminated Reticle is optimized for long-range F-Class competitive shooting. The reticle is laid out in .5 MOA increments, and include a secondary horizontal crosshair designed to give the shooter 20 MOA additional adjustment beyond the capability of the turret adjustments while still retaining the ability to use the MOA hash marks for wind hold-off. An illuminated center dot is found at the 0, 10, 20, and 30 MOA marks.
