steviesterno Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Hey all, I have been doing a ton of research, and thanks to this site, I've decided on getting a burris Tac 30 for my 3 gun rifle. But I can't find any!!! Midway sold out the day before I placed my order, and I can't seem to find one anywhere! They are back ordered till April at least. Anybody know a reputable dealer online that has them in stock? I prefer the black, but whatever at this point. I have a big match in June and want to be comfortable with it by then. I haven't decided the best was to mount it yet. Any suggestions on a nice base that won't cost more than the scope itself? Thanks, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfinney Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I'd recommend posting a WTB ad in the Classifieds, someone may have one they would part with. Guys are trying new scopes all the time and are pretty fickle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to work fine. http://swfa.com/Burris-AR-PEPR-1-Scope-Mount-P12624.aspx Edited March 5, 2011 by Newbler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfinney Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 SWFA won't tell you if its out of stock til after you place the order online; I'd call them first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Springer Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I did not know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviesterno Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 yeah see what I mean? It seems to be out of stock everywhere... I will call them in a bit though. What do you mean shooters love to change gear? I didn't sell and aimpoint and an eotech to pay for this scope or anything... wait. I did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dapribek Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Try Optics Planet. They have excellent service. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasSean Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Midway is now showing 3-26 on both the matte and dark earth. They may get them in quicker even... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spd522 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 SWFA is out. I tried to order one and got a "we're sorry" email. No estimate on time getting them either. Pretty much every place I tried is out. I guess once word got out, everyone wanted to try them. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colodrew Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) Colorado Optics has them in stock, I just ordered mine. www.coloradooptics.com I have bought a few scopes over the years from them and they are great.

steviesterno Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Thanks for the head's up... But I actually found a trijicon for about the same price (seriously!) so that's what is currently on my AR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninemmbill Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Midway is showing them in stock as of 6/2. They must have gone fast, because they now show out of stock until mid-August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prreed10 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) Received a Cabala's catalog Saturday & they carry it for $299. Don't know if they are in stock though. Edited June 27, 2011 by prreed10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcave Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 They are nowhere to be found. If you put one on backorder thru Midway USA, they fill backorders first before listing item to everyone else. If they have enough backorders to fill item in stock date changes and item never makes it open to everybody else. If you find one somewhere else you can cancel the backorder. I went thru this getting my Vortex scopes, the wait is not much fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwfuhrman Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I don't think Burris is making the Tac30 anymore, just the MTac and the XTR line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spd522 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I have never mounted mine yet and have had it for a year. I haven't decided whether or not I care for the reticle or not. I have friends using them and love them so it's just my opinion. I may go ahead and stick it in an extra LaRue I have and give it a go this year.
