Burris XTR 1-4x24 opinions???
I finally got my dream rifle, one I've been wanting since it was released... S&W M&P15-T. Right now, there's a huge 4-16x44 SF IR scope on it that I am using for load development - but I am saving for a more personalized optic.
At first, I was all ACOG, I figured that there just wasn't any other choice... until I seen the offerings and reticles... there's none I really like! I love the plain "origional" ACOG, the TA01 - which I believe is what I used in the Army, it's been a few years... But, it comes with a M16 carry handle mount, which I don't have... and I don't want to have an adapter to use it on my flat top - even if it were free, that's just something else to lose your zero. All the other ACOG's I've found that I like are just too much (I can't spend more than 1K).
I found the Burris XTR 1-4x24 30mm tube scope. There's 2 versions, the scope only package ($599), and the other package which contains the scope, 30mm rings, and the FastFire holosight mounted on top of the scope ($749). I'll probably get the FastFire version.
The biggest thing that caught my eye on this scope is the reticle. I LOVE the reticle, it's EXACTLY what I had in mind. It's called the Ballistic XTR 5.56 reticle or something - which looks sort of like an illuminated mil-dot, but not as big for CQB. This is also a "true" 1x scope, so you can use it with both eyes open, and then if a target pops up 300-400 yds. away, just crank it up to 4x.
Do any of you have an experience with this scope? Opinions??
Anyone have a recommendation for a better choice? I need something with 4X of magnifications, NO red dot scopes, must be some sort of reticle that is precise enough for long shots... I don't care if it's illuminated or not. I shoot more at long ranges than at short... All replies appreciated!
