Burris Tac 30 1-4 x 24 versus Burris MTAC 30

[Puma]

Trying to decide which rifle scope to purchase for 3 gun. I thought that the Burris fullfield MTac 30 was the best bang for the buck but now I see that Midway has an inclusive in a Burris fullfield Tac 30 1-4 x 24. I currently have a micro dot from Primary Arms that I am very happy with for close range but need magnification for shots 100 yards and further.........

Tac 30 is the previous model, as far as I know. If true, then Midway could be selling off their remaining stock? I haven't used either so I cannot give any meaningful comparisons of the scopes with each other.

I have used both. I will say the MTac is a much better scope. The illumination setting is a lot easier to use. And its just a lot sturdier scope. If I had the opportunity to get a higher price scope at the same price, I would probably go with the MTac. It is quite nice and worth the extra money versus the Tac30

I just swapped out my Millett DMS1 for an MTAC, and I love it. For the money, I think it is without a doubt the best option out there.

The main differences from what I have read is:

1. The on/off selector. On the Tac30, it is a push button which you have to push several times to get to the illumination needed. The MTAC has a dial: OFF-1-OFF-2-OFF-3.........so you can set it on the 7 setting if desired and click on time either direction to turn it off.

2. To go from 1x to 4x, the Tac30's whole body turns whereas the MTAC has a ring that turns.

3. The Tac30 turns off automatically after a while but the MTAC has to be turned off manually.

I went with the MTAC.
