2025 Optic of the Year

The Burris XTR PS is an all-­new optic for precision shooters that combines several patented innovations into a singular shooting system, helping to make every shot a hit.

The XTR PS features Burris’ Programmable Elevation Knob (PĒK) system and heads-­up display (HUD) data center. Without the need to lift your head off the stock’s comb, the HUD displays turret position in yards or mils without the need to reference DOPE charts, along with wind hold, scope cant (level), selected density altitude, and more — placing all of this information directly into your line of sight.

The ballistic functionality of the XTR PS comes from its integration with the accurate and free 
BurrisConnect app, where profiles are built and uploaded to the scope. Once loaded, the app is only needed if you want to add or change a bullet profile. With more than 20,000 feet of density altitude uploaded to the scope, shooters can select the parameters to match specific shooting environments.

The HUD is positioned at the top of the window, offering information at a glance. Below it is optical excellence. Hi-­Lume multi-­coated lenses deliver a clear, untinted image through all light conditions, from before dawn and dusk to the harsh glare often encountered in competition or long-­range shooting. Extra-­low dispersion (ED) glass makes this clarity possible, which is unusual for multi-­function electronic optics. Light transmission is optimized due to the scopes’ 34mm maintube, machined as a single piece from 6061-­T6 aluminum.

The dual-­color illuminated SCR 2 reticle provides contrast in changing light conditions. It is set on a first focal plane (FFP) and powered by a commonly available CR2032 battery. As magnification increases or decreases, the reticle grows or shrinks with the image, guaranteeing the aiming point is consistent across any power level.

Whether zeroing the reticle or dialing the turrets to adjust the reticle’s center on a target, the PĒK system incorporates a clickless turret with a digital position center for fast 1⁄30-­mil elevation adjustment. This is even more precise than quarter MOA, eighth MOA, or tenth-­mil systems. One complete revolution of the PĒK turret results in 19 mils of adjustment for quick dialing at extended-­range targets.

For shooters working against a clock, the XTR PS also includes a match countdown timer, useful for managing a stage’s allowable time effectively.

Additional features include soft-­touch side array buttons to navigate the menu, the side-­focus parallax adjustment knob, and a repeatable zero stop.

Be ready for the field or your next competition with the XTR PS, available in 3.3-­18x50mm or 5.5-­30x56mm.
