Burris XTR III Illuminated 5.5-30x56 FFP

• 5.5-30x magnification range: This wide zoom span lets the scope cover everything from target identification at mid distance to precise shot placement at extended range, making it well suited to long-range competition and precision rifle work.
• Front focal plane reticle: Because the reticle stays proportional through the magnification range, holdovers and wind calls remain consistent at any power, which speeds up corrections under match pressure.
• 34 mm main tube: The larger tube gives the scope the internal adjustment travel and structural strength needed for demanding long-range setups, especially on rifles built for dialing elevation.
• Side parallax adjustment from 18.2 m to infinity: Fine focus at short and long distances helps keep the target image sharp and reduces aiming error when shooting from varied stages or improvised positions.
• Tactical multi-turn turrets with Zero Stop: The turret layout is built for repeated dialing, while the zero stop gives a fast and reliable return to the base setting after large elevation changes.

About the Burris Xtreme Tactical XTR III Series

The Burris Xtreme Tactical XTR III series sits in Burris’s tactical riflescope range as a line built for long-range competition and precision shooting. First introduced as a new product in Burris’s 2020 catalog, the series combines a competition-focused feature set with the mechanical robustness expected from a scope intended for frequent dialing and hard field use. Burris designed the XTR III line in Greeley, Colorado and tested it on the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, reflecting a design brief centered on practical performance at distance rather than purely benchrest use.

XTR III models use a 34 mm main tube and front focal plane reticles, a combination that suits shooters who rely on accurate holds and broad adjustment range. The series has been offered in 3.3-18x50 and 5.5-30x56 configurations, with reticle options including SCR Mil, SCR MOA, and SCR 2. Expanded side-parallax adjustment is another defining feature across the line, helping shooters fine-tune image focus as stage distances change. In practical terms, the XTR III family is aimed at competitors and precision shooters who want repeatable turret operation, a reticle that remains useful throughout the zoom range, and optical performance that supports spotting impacts and reading targets at extended distances.

About the Burris XTR III Illuminated 5.5-30x56 FFP

The Burris XTR III Illuminated 5.5-30x56 FFP is the higher-magnification model in the XTR III family, built for shooters who need strong target resolution at long distance without giving up the flexibility to work at lower power. Its 5.5-30x magnification range gives enough low-end field awareness for positional stages while providing the top-end detail needed for small targets, precise holds, and spotting trace or splash at extended range. The 56 mm objective lens supports a bright, usable image, especially when light is flat or targets sit in shadow.

The scope uses a front focal plane reticle, which is a practical advantage for precision shooting because subtensions stay correct across the zoom range. That allows the shooter to hold for wind or elevation at any magnification instead of being tied to one calibrated setting. A 34 mm tube and up to 26.16 mrad of elevation adjustment give the scope the travel needed for long-range dialing, while the tactical multi-turn turret system is intended for repeated corrections during competition or load development. The Zero Stop adds confidence when returning to the base zero after several revolutions on the elevation turret.

Side focus parallax adjustment from 18.2 m to infinity helps keep the image crisp across a wide range of target distances, and the fast-focus eyepiece makes reticle sharpening quick when moving between shooters or stages. With its 391.00 mm length, 907.00 g weight, nitrogen-filled construction, and waterproof, fogproof, shockproof build, this riflescope is configured for serious tactical optics use where repeatability matters as much as magnification.

About Burris

Burris was founded in 1971 and takes its name from founder Don Burris. The company is headquartered in Greeley, Colorado, United States, and has built its reputation around sporting and tactical optics for shooters and hunters. Its product range includes riflescopes, red-dot and reflex sights, binoculars, spotting scopes, rangefinders, thermal optics, rings, and mounts, showing a broad focus on aiming and observation equipment rather than a single niche.

Within riflescopes, Burris is known for several long-running product families and practical reticle development. The company began marketing the Fullfield riflescope series in 1975, introduced the Ballistic Plex trajectory-compensating reticle in 2000, and later expanded into integrated ranging optics with the Eliminator riflescope in 2010. Burris became part of Beretta Holdings in 2002. In the tactical and precision category, that background shows in products that emphasize usable reticles, durable mechanics, and scope systems designed around real shooting applications.
