How does this scope compare to the Burris 200437 MTAC 1-4 x 24 Illuminated Scope? Which is a better option for an AR 15 platform?

I haven't run the Burris 200437 on my AR so it is tough to day. I have read great things about it though. The Leupold VX is a great "red dot" optic for mid range.

i've never tried the burris. The Leopold is one of the best illuminated scopes i've ever seen I love the motion senser illumination. My Leopold is on an IWI Trevor a killer pure and simple. i draw this weapon, target is down, day or night. Come on, best NRA rifle and optics platform???

The Leupold is not true 1X magnification. Thus you can't really do two eyes open while looking at both the surroundings and the scope. It was for this reason I returned the Leupold. I have not used the Burris. the Trijicon Accupoint 1-4 is true two eyes open. If the Burris has a true two eyes open similar to that of the Trijicon - thats what I would go with.

I been shooting with this scope on my Sig, 7.62X51 and I have had no problems with it, actually I love this on both the AR15 & AR10. Great scope & very durable. I've used it hog & deer hunting and it stays dead on target. Good shooting & happy & safe holidays.

if your using an AR-15 the sights on top are no good - I have scope sighted in at 100 yrds and zeroed in fine - then it has hash marks for further distance shooting . all in all a good scope . But I bought a vortex strikefire red dot sight for my AR-15 and it is amazing 175.00 dollars you get the best bang for the buck zeroed in at 100 yrds and excellent I now use sniper scope on my 715T .22 rifle .

Yes it will.Personally I would go with 3 to 9 power on a ar10.But if you know you want 1 to 4 then the Burris Mtac would hold up on that platform.

I have the SCAR 17s (7.62) and LOVE this scope. A little pricey, but you get what you pay for... And if you're going to drop that much money on a nice gun, why not get a nice scope to go with it? Also, looks amazing on my flat dark earth IMO. No complaints.

Very thin. They won't blot out your target at any range or power. Go to leapers.com for more detail. The important thing about this scope is the 'etched glass' vs. wire reticle. Etched won't come loose or break. Etched is better, IMHO. I did return the scope because of the weight. Exchanged it for its 3x9 cousin. Weight is not a problem for a benchrest shooter. Weight is a problem for a hunter carrying it in the woods. Something to consider. I love the Accushot scopes and own 2. Best bang for the buck, again, IMHO. There are better scopes for twice the price, or more.

Unless you're a varmint hunter, recommend a smaller profile scope for the AR-15 platform as it is waaay big for the rifle, although you can certainly mount it.

Based on reputation (and, I don't own one), I think the the Bushnell is a better scope. I currently have a lower-priced Leupold Gold Ring scope on my Savage Model 12 varmint rifle. The Tasco is a good, emergency type temporary scope. I would carefully check all the Leupold scopes and buy the best one I could afford. I like all Leupold and Black Hills products - good, American products, and quality is generally cheaper in the long run. Good luck!

If you are interested in CQB, not so much. But if you are into long range shooting, and want to be able to be as accurate as the AR platform can shoot, this is a very good scope. Crisp and sharp, with very good light gathering view. Really nice looking on the rifle also. It gets my vote.

I like Burris , I purchased the Leupold the clarity is better than most for the price I used mine on a AR10 and got a custom dial from the factory in a week factory lens caps are some of the best . So with Burris your limited as to upgrades and the quality of

That is the exact rifle I have mine on and LOVE it! I installed mine with Leopold QR rings and could not be happier for the money! I tried a cheaper competitor and after the 5th shot the glass fell out of the scope, not the case with the quality Burris!

I personally didn't like the 1" inserts. My scope drifted POI by bumbling scope gently. I found the Burris P.E.P.R mount is much better and holds true zero.

I really like the scope, but like several others that I have had, night vision is not equal to a daylight glass scope in magnification. If you need 4x then get the 5x. We are using them on crossbows and the 4x works just fine

Red Dots are Okay at reasonable ranges. But the AR platform has a tremendous potential for accuracy. One cannot, in my experience, take full advantage of that potential without a good scope. There are better ones, but my Browning White Gold Medallion will shoot less than 1 MOA @ 300 yards with this scope. Dollar for dollar you cannot go wrong with this one. Lemme know if I can offer more help.

I have two of these. One mounted on a S&W; M&P; 10 (.308) that I've swapped the flash suppressor out for a muzzle brake. Has 18" barrel. Normally shoot Sierra 168 grain HPBTs in hand loads. Last outing I was getting sub-moa results. Have the other mounted on Armalite AR-31 (.308) with 24" barrel. Have shot better than 1/2 moa with the same hand loads. I never worry about the BDC feature since that is pretty dependent on using specific factory ammo. I can wing it on longer shots pretty easily. Great scopes.

Works just like a normal scope when the cross-hairs are not illuminated. If you would like to know how the reticle looks like, take a look at the BARSKA Mil-Dot Airgun (Black Matte, 4x32 AO) here on amazon. Looks exactly the same. I suggest you swap out the scope rings for some better quality ones. Mine came loose after putting 60 rounds of 100gr .243 on the paper.

the bushnell is a much better scope. I consider the tasco to be if I drop it and break it, its cheap to replace. but if u got a mosin u should consider a 4-16x44? I mainly bought the tasco for my magnum pellet rifle, but have fire it on my ar15 as well. but ar 15 recoils much less than the mosin. I know we are all tryin to spend less but sometimes u gotta be happy with ur purchase. its better if u get 1 good scope that u could use on many different rifles than buy several scopes thus in the end spending more. happy shopping!
