Burris mtac

[Bob Sanders]

Just over $300 at LGS. Is this something I can grow with, or just shoot irons until I can do better. I'm fully aware that my first few matches are gonna be ugly, and learning the game will be more important than scores.

There are guys who shoot that scope exclusively and do very well so it depends on your taste and ability. The price is very good so if you plan on staying with a 1-4 scope, that is the one of the top contenders.

Let us know how it goes. When is your match, this weekend?

I just put on an MTAC on my rifle and really like it. It is the best value available.

Yes, Sunday. I can get it zero'ed Saturday. Probably be more comfortable with the irons, but I've never been one to not dive right in. Unless it's a high dive, then I'm chickenshit. Gotta sneak up on those. Plus, at the home club, 200 max yards, so 1-4 is probably good. I'm slapping it on a regular 16" carbine. Probably look to build an upper next year. Right now the priorty is to finish Dad's rack grade AR. (I know, but that's what he wants)

The Tac30 is $100 cheaper and has very little differences. I have 5 of them on my guns that don't wear a Swarovski. If your planning to upgrade later spend that $100 on a good mount that will last forever and get a Tac30.

 

[Bob Sanders]

So is the Burris PEPR mount lacking? The optic they said they have in store was the 1.5-6 model. I heard 319 but my luck they could have said $390. I'll look around.

 

[Wall]

you want a scope that goes down to a true 1x

 

[jtischauser]

Pepr is a decent mount for an Asian built unit. I'd suggest a LaRue or amd.

Like Tony said I'd take 1-4 over 1.5-6. 1.5 won't kill you though.

 

[Bob Sanders]

Awesome! Thanks for the help, guys. I may have to shoot irons Sunday, but better than dropping coin on something ill be unhappy with.

Picked up the MTAC today, just $9 more than the TAC30. Using cheap mounts until I find some good ones. Pretty happy with the deal, and like the scope. But I wish I didn't finger the Vortex sitting next to it. LOL!

 

[jtischauser]

$9 over the Tac30 is a deal well unless the Tac30 was $400

 

[Bob Sanders]

$309. But now I have to find decent mounts. I can see the ones I had are only going to get me through the first shoot. But hey, I wanna go shoot!

Was this new? Link?

Local gun store, and NIB. Google Whittaker's Guns. I cannot link from work. Got a nice price on my JM Pro there as well.

Try the iStrelok app with this scope makes the long range stuff so much easier.

 

[Bob Sanders]

That is a cool app!!

I run the Ballistics app for IPAD and love it. (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ballistic-advanced-edition/id303254296?mt=8) . A couple local guys run 200 yard zeros on their Mtac 30's and are getting hits all the way out to 500 yards all day long. It's a great scope for the money

I tend to think that unless you are going to really jump into 3Gun by traveling to lots of local and regional matches as well as the occasional major, the MTAC will serve you exceptionally well.

I have one in a LaRue mount and it's the bomb...quick on 1x, accurate on 4x. The upgrade to the magnification dial over the TAC30 is significant - though it can use a cat rail.

Only a few other 1-4 scopes match the MTAC IN value.

Mounted mine today witha PEPR, headed out tomorrow to get dope. 22 more days!
