Greeley, CO – In 2023, Burris Optics broke through the ballistic compensation barrier in hunting riflescopes with the introduction of the technologically advanced yet simple-to-use Veracity PH. Now, for 2025, that innovative performance has taken a massive leap forward and made its way into the company’s tactical line with the all-new XTR PS (Precision Shooter) riflescope.
Developed for competitive and long-range tactical shooters, the new XTR PS combines Burris’ micro-adjustable PĒK (Programmable Elevation Knob) technology and an advanced onboard HUD data center with the rugged, one-piece 34mm main tube chassis and precision optics engineering that the XTR series is known for. Powered by the BurrisConnect ballistics app, the XTR PS establishes a new benchmark in performance and accuracy.
The Burris PĒK system revolutionizes elevation adjustment with its clickless turret and digital position sensor, delivering ultra-fast and precise performance. Unlike conventional turrets, the PĒK achieves an unparalleled 1/30 MIL adjustment accuracy, far surpassing the coarser 1/4 or 1/8 MOA and 1/10 MIL standards of most scopes. This advanced system enables long-range shooters to achieve pinpoint bullet drop compensation, extending accuracy and performance beyond traditional competition and tactical optics.
The XTR PS HUD delivers eight data zones, providing essential firing solution information at a glance. Central to the display is the elevation position, or “dial-to-distance,” which is expressed in yards, meters, or MIL. By simply ranging the target distance and rotating the elevation knob to match, shooters can eliminate complex on-the-fly BDC calculations, reliance on dope cards, and the risk of dialing errors. The PĒK system further enhances accuracy with a single rotation offering over 19 MILs of adjustment.
Among the HUD’s additional features are wind hold, unit of measure, battery meter, digital riflescope level, wind direction, wind speed, density altitude, and angle compensation. New for competition shooters, an innovative countdown timer has been added, ensuring precise time management during matches where every second counts. This feature is prominently displayed, making it an indispensable tool for staying on track under pressure.
Burris engineers have seamlessly integrated the XTR PS with the BurrisConnect app, allowing users to create and upload custom ballistic profiles directly from their mobile devices. Once stored locally, these profiles enable the system to operate independently of the app, ensuring uninterrupted performance in the field. Each ballistic profile includes over 20 density altitude curves, giving shooters the flexibility to adapt to changing environmental conditions. These curves can be selected directly on the scope using its intuitive onboard controls, providing precision and ease of use in any setting.
Offered in 3-18×50 and 5.5-30×56 magnification ranges, the XTR PS comes with additional key features to ensure maximum performance for any shooting task or environment. These include the “Christmas tree style” Burris SCR 2™ illuminated FFP reticle in dual-color (red/green), zero click stop adjustment knob, side focus parallax adjustment, ED glass for exceptional clarity and image fidelity, index-matched, Hi-Lume® multi-coated lenses, and a single-piece milled 6061-T6 aluminum housing. The soft-touch side array buttons located outboard of the parallax adjustment knob are designed for ergonomic menu operation.
