Julien Boit Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) Hi all, I'm thinking more and more about starting shooting Rifles in competition. In the chase for an optic, I found the Burris MTAC line of scopes. it's a 1-4 x 24 with illuminated reticle. Anyone knows this scope and have first hand experience ? Thanks in advance.

Hi-Power Jack Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Julien, if you type Burris MTAC in the search space at the top right hand corner of the screen and hit the go button, you will unveil dozens of discussions about the MTAC as well as all of its competitors.

zhunter Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 It better be good, I just bought one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
co-exprs Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 It's a solid, effective and high value scope. If you are on a budget the Mtac is a really good way to go. And I have shooting buddies, who started with the Mtac with the intention to upgrade later, only to find that the Mtac was good enough to get the job done and couldn't justify any additional expense.

MickB Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 The Burris MTAC is best bang for the buck going for a variable power optic. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Bacus Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I use the TAC-30, an earlier version of the MTAC. It is a great scope and I highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Springer Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I've been pleased with mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 If you want to spend $1k or more, there are a few options out there that may be a little better than the MTAC. I think the MTAC is the clear winner in the under $1K, 1-4x scope market. I know a few Z6 owners that like them too, even one who sold the Z6 and got 2 1-4MTACs, one for the competition rifle and one for the Nordic .22RF upper. I've run one on my competition rifle for over a dozen major matches now and it has been flawless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodownzero Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Love mine, although I don't shoot my AR as much as I'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim/GA Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) Don't think you can beat it for the price (or a few hundred more), would love a Leupold 1-6x but the 1-4 gets the job done and I love the Burris. Stick a Switchview on it and a good mount and you are still way below the scope only price for others. Edited September 1, 2012 by Tim/GA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assaulter Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Point and click. Repeat as necessary. It's a great scope and the bdc is like cheating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grouse Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 The Burris MTAC is best bang for the buck going for a variable power optic. Mick agreed. If you can find a tac30 used, those are pretty solid values as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Boit Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 Thanks for all the feedback guys. I might give it a try. There is a combo featuring the scope, the small red dot fast fire and the mount for a fair price. I'm still wondering if I go to the scope only option on the rifle, or if I get the scope and an additional sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think the fastfire on teh mtac is overkill. You could get some side mount flp ups for close range stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhunter Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I received my MTAC today, WOW is all I can say The illuminated reticle is very bright too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could get some side mount flp ups for close range stuff. I'm shooting under IPSC rules, so an optic will put me in open anyway. My plan was to put the fast fire on a mount on the handguard for close range stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sthrngnr Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Julien, I took the advice from MarkCO and purchased a MTAC 1-4x . I am very pleased with the scope . I recommend getting a solid mount (warne, JP, Larue ) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend getting a solid mount (warne, JP, Larue ) . I had the WARNE mount in mind because of the ability to put a small red dot on the side of it. I must figure if it would conflict with a switchview lever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
