Looking thru the 2005 new products and they have this red dot comming out, along with some tactical scopes. It at least looks good, might turn out to be a less expensive alternative. www.burrisoptics.com/new2003.html www.burrisoptics.com/new2005.html  |

Oooooooooh, shit. The Aimpoint guys are gonna bring down a shit-storm of biblical proportions over this one. Probably won't have anywhere NEAR the battery life of an Aimpoint, but I do like the switch on this one better. It also looks to take 2032 (or similar) batteries, which are damn near a dime a dozen. |
I agree, and I like much. Now I've got something else to actually go looking for at SHOT. |
|
Xtreme Tactical, that is hot, i got to have one right freaking now. it is totally tactical and extreme at the same time. All kidding aside, this does look like a Aimpoint knock off but for the lower price I wonder what is its capabilities. it would be a cool sight for Airsoft and my Ruger 10/22 rabbit gun. |
Good lord! It looks like they copied the SL M3 as well!  Will have to investigate at the SS...C4 |
That looks like a private label job to me. I am sure Burris just buys them in bulk with their name printed on it. The XTREME link was the best part of this thread 
|
Chen- I laughed so loud reading that line, my boys came into the room to see what was so funny! I might even make it my sig-line (with your credit, of course!) 50's: Wonder & Dyna 60's: Astro 70's: DeLuxe 80's: Turbo 90's: Cyber & Tec 00's: Xtreme |

So, when you see yet another tube-type magnified rifle scope with a cross hair reticle, do you say "This is just another cheap Weaver K knockoff! What is this nonsense?" ...or do you just accept that many makers make similar sight products because the basic design is solid, and it's what the market wants? |
Price depending I'll get one and abuse the shit out of it like I'm doing with a tacpoint currently. Should make for an interesting review. |
I am sure you will find that they are made by some of those heathen communist you feel so strongly about. I think you should get up on your soapbox at the Shot Show and impose your will and opinion onto all in attendance.

I used to own a Burris pistol scope some years ago. I never had a problem with it. However, on another forum that I visit regularly several people complain about the Burris warranty service. If it never goes down then its not an issue. But, enough people have complained about their warranty service and I don't want to chance it. I've gone to the Bushnell Elite line for all of my scope needs now. Tremendous warranty reputation. I'm hoping that my EOTech doesn't go down after the 2 years is up. 
|
I got curious about the price so I e-mailed Burris. Here are my questions and their answers: Can you tell me the dot size? (MOA?) 3 MOA Battery type? #2032 Water proof? Yes MSRP? $353.00 So there is the answer on the price. Since it is about the same price as an Aimpoint, I think I will not be trying this Xtreme Tactical high Speed Dot out anytime soon. 
|
I actually own a Burris BD scope and think it is a good piece of glass.  I will be sure to "grill" the Burris folks about this Aimpoint clone at the SS!  C4 |
Get over it. |

Mike, Do you have a kick ass ARFCOM dealer price for us yet? 
|
2032's are dirt-ass cheap, and can be found all over the place. That's a plus. Waterproof...well, good...who would buy an optic that isn't? MSRP...nobody, but NOBODY (especially around here) pays MSRP for anything. I still like the switch better than the Aimpoint's, but that's just my particular preference. If I were Burris, I'd shit-can both the "Xtreme" and the "tactical" descriptions; both are WAY overdone. Hell, I saw a "tactical attache case" for sale last night... 
|
+1 on both of those. I really could go for a much larger dot. For true CQB work, Trijicon and EOTech have done it right. |
Oooo! Ooooo! Can I tell? Midway already has them advertised with a suggested retail price of $199. http://www.midwayusa.com/rewriteaproduct/664830 If you want one, click the Remind me button to be notified when you can order/backorder one. I would be willing to bet their price will be increased probably to around $219-249, shortly after they start taking orders/backorders. |
let me be the first to say ETA: so it does not sound so smart ass,  I know what you mean. But most Aimpoint users will not consider this an alternitive. It could very well be a good step up from a Tacpoint though.Time will tell how good it is. Maybe me and photoman could get one each and test it out.  |
Let me be the FIRST to say that it has nothing to do with the price tag, but with the quality. Show me an optic that gives you 10,000hrs battery life (50k for the 3 series) off a 1/3 lithium batt., water proof past 66ft, issued to our Military and has proven itself in combat. If you can find a replacement for those specs at a cheaper price then we'll talk... C4 |
