Reviews & Ratings for Burris MTAC 1.5-6x42mm Rifle Scope w/Illuminated Ballistic Plex CQ 5.56 Reticle — 9 reviews — Page 1

This is an excellent scope for the money and lives up to traditional Burris standards of high quality. My only complaint about the scope is the size of the recticle dot which could be a little smaller to allow for more accuracy.

I really did good this time. Installed this on a new AR build with an 18" barrel - it's the perfect scope for just about any activity. Super lite gathering with the 30mm tube, 1.5 to 6 power - low for close and enough power to see far away. Sighting points out to 600 yards with 55 grain bullets and top it off with a lighted reticle - can't get any better.

Great scope, good price and highly recommended. We would pay a lot more for a scope of this quality in Australia.

The only downside is there are no lens covers/caps supplied which is about the only issue I can think of.

Great scope. Mounted on Colt AR, not too heavy. 1.5x power good for close distances and works great out to 300yds. Haven't had a chance to use longer distance yet. I like the illuminated reticle. I don't find it overly large or distracting.

Actually, I vahe nothing to comare because it is my first carbine optics.
The scope looks very nice, the assembly is of high quality. The magnification adjustment is pleasant and smooth.
I bought it with the Burris AR-PEPR Scope Mount.
I mounted the sight in my AR-15 .223 carbine. It was a little bit hard for me to find a convenient position to mount the scope - the eye relief was not enough. Finally I mounted the base at the nearest position of my picatinny rail. Now the position is perfectly convenient.
So far I have made some shots at the distance of 40 meters. The zeroing was really easy. I used the blue Loctite to fix all the screws, hope that there will no need to unmount the scope for a long time :)
The reticle illumitation is very convenient for me, the 10 steps of adjustment is more than enough. The switch-off between each adjustment is perfect.
The dots of the reticle are fine for me. I do not like too many information in the reticle. This scope has a ring and 5 dots inside. According to the ballistics table for .223REM the last dot is for 600 yards (550 meters) which is more than enough. The size of dots is perfect for me.
I plan to use the scope in the IPSC stages. The longest range I've met so far was abount 300 meters. The x6 magnification seems to be just fine for my needs.

So far I am very satisfied with the sight.

What I miss in the scope is the absence of lens protection covers. I am planning to buy the Butler Creek Quick Detach Scope Cover Set (lar...

Great scope. Center dot is a bit big but with practice you can get very good groups. Burris should consider a 1.5" moa dot for the center dot. Shot my rifle with 55gr Vmax bullets and it was dead on the hold marks out too 400. Havent tried 500 or 590 yet. Great scope for close in work and reaching out some distance.
Pros: Clear & sharp images. Very well built
Cons: 1/2" moa adjustments, Wish was 1/4" center dot is great for speed but thing 2.4" @ 100yrs covers to much

I think Burris should rethink their reticle. The dots are too big and the reticle obscures too much of the target in my opinion. This is a nice optic to buy for hunting. It is water proof enough. Immersion in sand only made the controls 'crunchy.'
Pros: Good fit and finish, excellent clarity, no chromatic aberration
Cons: Noticable Pincushion or warping of target.
