Well I recieved my new sight today, The Burris XTS-135 . Granted it is not an AimPoint, but from the research I have done I think this will suffice for the time.

Here is the info I have got from Burris on the sight and whether it would stand up to the the AR-10....

"That particular scope was specifically designed for AR-10 use. It will do fine on your firearm."

Some technical data I have compiled.....
Water depth......5 meters.....good enough for me...
Max cold temp.......+14, ok that is not so hot, for me given the time of year.
Max heat......+122, that will work. I am not planning any trips to Death Valley.
The Impact rating is up to 700 Gs......equal to the recoil of a 375 Wetherby Magnum, so recoil should not be an issue.

I am planing to do a full review of it, including a 100 round field test, which will goes as follows....

20 rounds of controlled firing....
60 to 70 rnds rapid fire.....
and the Last 10 to 20 will be a """"surprise""""

As I said, it is not an AimPoint (if I had the Money, I would have one) but if it does as Burris say it will do, I think it will be a good alternative for those that can not afford the "High End" optics, and for the average shooter..
Will post my findings and videos when completed..

I'm looking forward to seeing your review. I'm not very happy with my Bushnell Trophy even being on my .22 let alone an AR.

OH man am I glad to hear someone else talk about their trophy. I have tried to get ahold of Bushnell, NO JOY. For one of the larger companies, their customer service SUCKS...I spent 2 hours out of 4 calls to them on hold...and no e-mail address for comments or questions. They are about to be put on the chopping block.....
As for my review, I have the first set of videos done, the installation is complete, now, weather permitting, I can get out and give it a once over....about a 100 times...LOL
I will be posting the first set tonight after uploading them to Youtube....
So far I have to say I am happy with it...so far.
If there is any info you want, let me know and I will try to get you the answers....

Yeah, I've tried contacting them as well. The only product from Bushnell I've had success with is a 3-9x50 Banner scope that's lasted about 10 years.

The customer service issue REALLY makes me glad that I went with a Sightron instead of a Bushnell Elite last spring.

Just watched the first videos about that Burris XTS. So far, that thing looks pretty good. Much better quality than my damned Bushnell. Looking forward to that range report.

Great video's! My hats off to you for your effort. But dude the rest of your basement is a mess, (just kidding). You brought up something I had difficulty with when I was mounting my Nightforce Scope. When your scope covers the entire picatiny rail how do level the rifle to align the scope? I could not find any precision surface to work from. I like your set up! Keep up the good work. Bob.
