At SHOT Show 2025, I had the chance to check out a mind-blowing new product that’s going to make any precision shooter’s life a whole lot easier. Right in front of me at the Beretta Range Day was the brand-new XTR PS scope from Burris. And trust me, you’re going to want to see this one to believe it.
So, what makes the XTR PS so special? First off, this thing comes in two models: the 5-30x and the 3-18x. The one I looked at today was the 5-30x, and I can already tell this scope is going to change the game.
Let’s start with the turret—this thing is incredibly unique. It has 19 MRAD in elevation on just one full turn, and here’s the kicker: it doesn’t have any detents.
Why? Because it adjusts infinitely, meaning you get precise, fluid adjustments without being limited by clicks or stops. For those of us who need to dial in specific ranges, that’s huge.
For example, if you needed to dial 10.68 MRAD, you can because you aren’t limited by tenths on each click using conventional turrets.
And here’s where it gets even cooler—the XTR PS features a heads-up display (HUD) inside the scope itself. Once you input your ballistic data, the HUD will display everything you need to know about your shot.
We’re talking wind, temperature, even up to 16,000 feet of elevation! No joke. As you dial the turret, the scope will show you the exact range where your bullet is going to impact. I was absolutely blown away by how precise it is.
But wait, there’s more! The scope also has a bubble level built into it, helping you make sure the gun is perfectly level. Also, this optic can correct for elevation even if your rangefinder doesn’t provide you with that data.
Now, for all the competition shooters out there, the XTR PS has something you’re really going to love: a built-in timer. If you’re competing in an NRL match or any timed event, you can set the timer directly through the scope.
It’ll count down and, while you’re shooting, you can keep track of how much time you have left without ever taking your face off the scope.
It also comes with an illuminated reticle, which you can switch between red or green, depending on your preference. And don’t worry about the power—it uses standard batteries, so no complicated charging systems.
Now, I know what you’re probably wondering: Does this scope have a rangefinder? Nope, not this time. Burris is known for their Eliminator scopes, which do have rangefinders built in, but the XTR PS doesn’t. Still, with all the other features packed in here, I’d say that’s a minor trade-off.
Now you can see how the Burris XTR PS redefines what a modern riflescope is. It’s got features that you won’t find anywhere else right now, and I have no doubt it’s going to make waves in the shooting world. I can’t wait to get my hands on one for a full review—hopefully soon. You can bet I’ll try to figure out a way to show you how it performs on the range.
