Dannybot Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I may or may not use the illumination. I won't know until I can get it to work at the range and see if it is helpful or not. But when I bought the MTAC, the illumination was a big selling point. I paid for it so I want it. Bill What he said. By the way, I'm the guy who asked about your illumination Bill. I had a great time out there, and plan on making it regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuck in C Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 For what its worth, my TAC-30 illumination is hit or miss also. Maybe it is temperature, it always seems to work in my basement but not always at matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see if your scope is as bright as it should be. Also got a PM from Jeff M after the match. We had exchanged info on matches and places to practice but never met face to face. We did not realize we were on the same squad Saturday. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanq Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Interesting! How old are everyones MTACs? I started running one in April of this year. I live in Phoenix where its rather warm. Ran a match yesterday and it was 112 deg. Reticle was fine. Not a lot of shade. Black rifle=sun=gloves. Even on the highest setting (10) its not super bright like an Aimpoint or Eotech. ps longest my battery would last when left on continuously is 2 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyChris Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I picked up an MTAC back in January, have shot in the heat up to 107 degrees... when I turn illumination on the reticle seems pretty bright, even out in all of the sunlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatland Shooter Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 My MTAC is fairly new vintage. Got it new for Father's Day this year. The "black rifle + sun = heat" hit me too. I have the aluminum tube handguard and its a little too short and was less than comfortable to grab in this heat. I've since looked at some of the Carbon Fiber handguards. Light weight + little heat transfer sounds like the perfect setup for our Texas matches. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtuns Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Ive shot mine in about 90 deg no problems so far. don't usually get to hot in oregon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatland Shooter Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Got mine back from Burris. Looks like they don't try to repair electronics. They sent a brand new MTAC. As long as this one works, I'm a happy camper. Out the door on a Monday and returned 9 days later. Fast service for sure. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickoli Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Good to know it was a fast turn around. Maybe ill send mine in after the championship matches here next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatland Shooter Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Well I've had the replacement MTAC out in the heat for two range outings since received. Put 120 rds downrange with the temp about 100 degrees both days. I have my fingers crossed that this is fixed for good. I'm very happy with the turn around time I got from the Burris service department. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cajunautoxer Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Last Fri I put my rifle in the sun for 2 hrs and it still worked 11;00-13:00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neomet Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 Just an update and a tip of the hat to Burris. I sent my MTAC in to them a few weeks ago and yesterday I received a brand new one in exchange. Not only is that customer service to write home about, but the illumination on the new scope even seems brighter than what I recall with my old one. Win- Win! Nice job Burris.

Nickoli Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I like hearing that things are being taken care of. Mine is going in after the PA state rifle match in a couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been running my TAC30 for 3 years now without any issues. Weather conditions have ranged from almost below 50 to as high as 87 degrees. It's like that here in the temperate zone..

Flatland Shooter Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Just a little update. The replacement MTAC received late August is still running 100%. I have not had a chance to shoot it past 200 yards but I'm sure any misses with be me, not the equipment. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cajunautoxer Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Did Burris ask for a receipt? I bought mine second hand and the fast fire red dot is very dim and I need to see if they will replace it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No excuses now let go shoot 4th sunday 3gun at PRG There is always that zeroing thing.

Nickoli Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Whats the longest some of you waited to get it back? I sent mine in 3 weeks ago, and I just received an email today after requesting a status update at the start of the week. Well I was told mine should be ready mid January. I am going to call them here in a little bit to see if there is any way to get it back sooner. There is a shoot I want to go to on the 28th to practice shooting out to 600 and a polar match in Feb that I attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Yeah, I had to send mine in after opening weekend because I went to the PA state rifle match opening weekend. I called Burris when I had some down time at work and the friendly guy on the phone said it shipped out today. Great news for me, just not sure how I got an email earlier today saying min January and called 4 hours later and it was shipped. New replacement is on the way and should be here middle of next week. Gives me enough time to sight it in, they sent a brand new one, and make it to the 200-600 yard fun shoot on the 28th. First time shooting out past 200 so it will give me a change to figure out how the 77s do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
