Rifle Scopes Burris Tac30 1-4x LRS, anyone else have one?

[Dirknar]

I just ordered this: Burris Fullfield TAC30 Rifle Scope 30mm Tube 1-4x 24mm Illuminated Ballistic CQ Reticle.

Does anyone else have one?

I also purchased the American Defense Recon-X extra extended mount, for it to sit in.. Must have got the last one, their out of stock now..

I know the reticle and glass probably isnt as good as the XTR but for half the price I hope its ok??

Someone said they were made in Philippines but I thought burris was USA??

Wasnt trying to be a dick, just pointing out that your the one that makes the ultimate decision if your happy or not. Will there always be something better yep, will there always be something worse, yep. Burris usually makes good stuff, you will probably be happy.

I don't have the scope in question, but I have a 3-9 fullfield 2 on my 375 h&h. Personally...I think the scope is worth the cost. Not really sharp around the edges. Which I am ok with....it still kills deer and elk. That is the only real complaint that I have other than it isn't real bright either. Some of that is due to the small objective though....I'm sure. Burris headquarters is just up the road from me in greeley, co. I can't tell you if it was made there or not though.

They are decent enough, I don't really like the reticle though but that's just me.

Ya I wish they would have just made the donut with the center dot and lower elevation dots without the side/upper dots. it looks a little busy.. The XTR ret would have been perfect..

I had one on a 450 Bushmaster, If they had one in a 6x I would be all over it (eyes suck) the only issue I had with it was the glass was not as good as the better end Burris. I am a big fan of the dot type scopes for hunting: Action Pic of s doe well maybe not action

The real only complaint I had was I did not like the way the illumination worked.

Read a few good reports about them. Got one the other day, returned it already today. It had a bad walleye-effect when scanning side to side on 1x. The illumination was nicely intense without any halo or bleed, very daylight/sunlight practical. While on the lowest illum setting it made everything inside the fat circle disappear during lowlight, without illum it was still kinda crowded, imo. Somehow, it also made things look further away than they were on 1x (shrunk objects being looked at). The multifunction button didn't work all that great either. Eye relief was highly forgiving.

Hmm, great.. Did you request a money refund or another scope? do you think its something wrong with that scope?

Re: Burris Tac30 1-4x LRS, anyone else have one?

Just sent it back, returned it, as defective for refund. Needed a 1-4 scope in a hurry before christmas, for some predator calling. Got tired of waiting on swfa and vortex's 1-4 offerings, held out as long as I could. Now I gotta find out who's gonna have a viper pst 1-4 available asap....

Re: Burris Tac30 1-4x LRS, anyone else have one?

What about the Burris XTR 1-4 with the .556 BDC, or the new XTR 1.5-6 with the .308 BDC. I have no experience with them but I havent read anything but good. I am about ready to pull the trigger on one of these two. optics planet has the 1-4 for 609 with free shipping.
Sounds good to me!
