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. If the reticle does not appear sharp and black, take quick glances through the scope while rotating the focus ring until the reticle pattern is sharp and black.
NOTE: Do not look through the eyepiece as you turn the focus ring. Your eyes will adjust to the out-of-focus condition.
Parallax/Focus Adjustment
– Parallax adjustment is not available on 1x-5x and 1.5x8x models –
Parallax is the apparent movement of the reticle in relation to the target when the eye is not directly in line behind the center of the scope. Images from different distances focus in front of or behind the scope’s reticle. Parallax is more noticeable with higher magnification scopes.
To use the parallax/focus adjustment, rotate the knob on the left side of the adjustment turret until the numeral corresponding to the known target distance lines up with the reference mark. If the distance is unknown, rotate the adjustment knob until the target image is sharply focused.
When the scope is set parallax-free for the distance you are viewing, you should be able to move your eye side-to-side or up and down without seeing the reticle move appreciably in relation to the target.

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. Without tapered bases, the initial sight-in or bore sighting will likely produce a considerably high initial point of impact. Because of the Zero Stop feature, as shipped from the factory the scope has no immediate capability for downward point-of-impact adjustment.
Use the following procedure whenever you need downward point of impact adjustment:
1) Turn the elevation adjust­ment knob clockwise to “0”.
2) Use the 2mm hex wrench supplied with the scope to loosen the set screws on the elevation adjustment knob located just under the top of the knob.
3) Pull up slightly on the adjustment knob to the second white hash mark on the turret. Turn the knob clockwise slightly more (maybe 2-5 mils more) than the number of mils needed to achieve zero.
4) Retighten the set screws. Adjust the elevation down the required amount.
5) Once the elevation adjustment is complete, once again loosen the two set screws and reset the knob

“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 mark may result in limited windage adjustment.
Windage/Elevation Adjustment for Single-Turn Knobs
– Applies to 1x-5x and 1.5x-8x models –
The windage and elevation knobs are designed for precise adjustment. The click value for each knob is indicated on the dial.
The elevation knob at the top of the tube provides 9.3 mRAD of adjustment in one full turn and features a Zero Stop. The windage knob, located on the right side of the tube, provides up to 4.6 mRAD of adjustment in both directions.
Both knobs can be reset to “0” once the scope is sighted-in. To reset the knobs to “0,” use the hex wrench supplied with the scope to loosen the set screws located at the top of the adjustment knobs.
Proper Windage Zero
The dial should spin freely. Rotate the knob until the “0” lines up with the hash mark indicator, and then retighten the set screws. The knob is not intended to come up or off, but if the set screws are loosened too far, the knob can be removed. The scope is still fully sealed if this does accidentally occur.

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. The illumination levels rise in brightness intensity from 1–11, with the lowest levels capable of working with night vision equipment, the middle levels ideal for low light conditions, and the highest levels suitable for daytime usage. The “Off” positions at the minimum and maximum ranges turn the circuit off completely and should be used when the scope is not in use. Each level also has a detent to prevent unintended changes during use.
Time-Out Function: XTR II Riflescopes arrive from the factory with an automatic Time-Out Function. After XX hours the illumination will automatically shut off to conserve battery life. This function can be disabled by Burris upon request or you can deactivate the setting yourself. To learn how, visit www.burrisoptics.com/XTRII or contact our customer service department.
The reticle is powered by a 3-volt lithium cell battery #CR2032. To install a new battery, simply unscrew the battery cap on the rotary switch and install the new battery flat side (+) up. It is advisable to remove the battery for long-term storage (over a month).

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.
Care & Maintenance
The XTR II riflescope is fully waterproof and fogproof. To protect the objective and ocular lenses, it comes equipped with flip-up scope caps. In the event that the lenses are subjected to dust, dirt, or mud, follow these steps to clean and protect the lens surface. Fail­ure to remove grit before final cleaning is sure to damage lens coatings.
Coarse dirt/debris must be removed from the lens surface. The most convenient way to clean a lens sur­face is to use a Lens Pen. Position the scope so parti­cles will fall away from the lens, and then use the Lens Pen or soft brush to gently whisk away the debris while blowing on the lens to dislodge the particles. For heavy dirt, like dried mud, use a spray of clean water or lens cleaning fluid to remove the dirt.
Your Burris riflescope will provide reliable performance given reasonable care and treatment. All moving assemblies are permanently lubricated. Only occasional cleaning of the outside of the scope and the exterior lenses is required. Never disassemble your scope. Disassembly by anyone other than our factory will void the warranty. If you have any other problems with your riflescope, return it to the Burris factory for repair.

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. Because the reticle is changing with magnification, the measurements of the reticle are always correct and are proportional to whatever power setting you may be on. This can be very useful in tactical situations when reticles are used to determine size and distance of a target, and when using the reticle for trajec­tory compensation at multiple magnification settings.
Low Power View
High Power View
Rear Focal Plane (RFP)
Rear Focal Plane systems (sometimes referred to as Second Focal Plane systems) place the reticle to the rear of the erector assembly or zoom mechanism. This is the most common reticle system and is found in most hunting optics. Because the reticle is behind the zoom mechanism, the size of the reticle is constant and does not change when magnification is adjusted. This will make the reticle appear to consume more of the target on low power; on high power, the reticle will appear to consume less of the target, which is beneficial for long­range, precision shooting.
Low Power View
High Power View
Since the reticle size never changes on RFP systems, it is important to understand that the reticle measurements will only be correct on one specific power. For the XTR II 1x-5x riflescope, the measurements are correct at 5x power.
7
Page 9
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. Since the two pieces of the reticle are acting independently, the pieces will overlap slightly at certain magnifications, but this will not prevent the shooter from using the reticle correctly.
Low Power View
High Power View
The center aiming point, or the RFP portion of the reticle, has illumination capabilities. The crosshairs, or the FFP portion of the reticle, have no illumination capability.

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. FFP design means the reticle size changes with magnification, ensuring that the reticle measure­ments are always correct and proportional to whatever power setting you may be on. This reticle is excellent in tactical situations when determining size and distance of a target is critical.
