Burris XTR III 5.5-30X56MM SCR MOA Features and Performance

The Burris XTR III 5.5-30X56MM SCR MOA is a premium long-range riflescope built for shooters who want serious magnification, precise adjustments, and a feature set designed around modern precision rifle use. With its 5.5-30x magnification range and 56mm objective, this model is well suited for extended-range target shooting, competition use, and rifle setups where repeatable tracking and refined shot correction matter. It fits naturally on rifles built for distance and consistency, offering the kind of overall format many shooters look for when moving beyond more basic optics.

A major strength of this scope is its illuminated SCR MOA reticle. The SCR MOA layout gives shooters a practical reticle system for holdovers, wind calls, and more deliberate shot placement while still keeping the sight picture organized and usable. Because the reticle is placed in the front focal plane, its subtensions stay proportionally correct throughout the magnification range, which is especially useful for shooters who rely on holds and ranging references at different power settings. Illumination also adds flexibility in lower light conditions and helps the optic remain effective across a wider range of environments.

The XTR III line is built with precision and competition-oriented performance in mind, and that comes through in the overall design of this model. The 34mm tube provides the adjustment range and robust feel many shooters want in a serious long-range optic, while side parallax adjustment helps fine-tune focus as distance changes. This is the kind of scope that makes sense on a dedicated bolt-action precision rifle, a modern gas gun configured for distance work, or any setup where reliable corrections and long-range capability are a priority.

Another reason this model stands out is the way it balances magnification with real-world usability. The lower end remains workable for closer transitions and positional shooting, while the upper end gives shooters the magnification needed for careful observation and precise shot placement at longer distances. That combination makes it a strong option for shooters who want one optic that can cover a broad range of precision-oriented roles without feeling too specialized in only one direction.
