Where is the cheapest place y'all have found to buy this scope?

Also I need recommendations on a solid QD mount.

Thanks

Double check the clarity of that scope. I'm pretty sure that is the one I recently looked through and it mostly sucked. Larue and adm mounts are upper tier, Burris pepr is the budget mount that usually works

Yeah I'm headed out today to see if I can get my hands on all the optics and rifles I've been looking at. Ran across some reviews of this scope late last night and it seems legit. See if I can find it today.

I don't know what scope you were looking at, but my MTAC is more clear than the Vortex Viper 1-4 I had before it.. Not to mention the Burris actually holds zero.

To the OP: Optics Planet would be a good place to look.

Optics Planet. I know some have said they had a bad experience ordering with them, but I never have and I've ordered on multiple occasions.

Optics planet mostly sucks also

I recently look thru the mtac vs another Burris and it was night and day better.

Looks like a good scope to mount on AR platform. What are you putting on and purpose? Interested in it also.

I would also look at the SWFA SS 1-4x. It's similar price range. I bought a couple on black Friday for my ARs and they are pretty impressive with their low profile MIL dials, illuminated diamond which has fast aiming points for 100, 200, 300 yards.

I can't comment on the MTAC but I bought their 332 and the reticle was noticeably crooked. Sent it back for a refund.

Not sure yet. I can't get past the research stage and pull the trigger. Lol

All the quality rifles I really want are so freaking expensive.

I do not regret putting the MTAC on my rifle.

Build one. Get a good trigger and barrel and you'll be fine. All the other parts are mostly aesthetic.

I've had a couple Burris Tac-30's. Zero complaints.

I have the mtac and viper pst 1-4. Glass is better for my eyes on burris, but prefer reticle on pst for more accuracy. Both will serve ya well. Mount i went with aero precision, its solid as a rock and a burris pepr, which i have been pleased with.

Bought a Troy Conqueror this evening.

Since it has the 45deg iron sights I don't want a QD scope mount anymore.

Nice rifle. Get a cat tail for your scope and you will be good to go.
