Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Burris C4

I wish it had a 16 or 18 max power, I wonder if Burris will make one?
glad to see the positive reviews/results from it. with a very reasonable price tag I think I'll give it a try. I'm really liking what I'm reading so far.


I'll take a look at the MTAC as well, thanks for the suggestion!

Burris needs to ditch the adjustable objective and do a side focus.

The "Posi-lock" was a huge improvement that all Long Range scope manufacturers quickly copied and adopted.

Leupold, Nightforce, Schimdt and Bender, US Optics and Vortex are really thankful of Burris's R&D.

Completely agree, sucks with scope covers.

The MTAC model comes in a 6.5-20.

which brings the next question. Mils or MOA?

one thing I like about the C4 is the custom turret cap option. I looked but didn't see it on the MTAC.

also looking at the XTR which is supposedly one heck of a scope too

The C4 is pretty unique. There are three options for elevation...

1. You can run it with an exposed MOA turret.

2. You can run it with an exposed CDS turret.

3. You can remove the exposed turret and get a cap and run it like a standard scope.

The MTAC has different dials, but I have not seen them in person. I personally have no use for a CDS type dial. Just as easy to refer to a drop chart.

understandable, that's where the personal preference comes in to play. I am a big fan of the CDS turrets myself, hence the hard look at the C4. I could always go with the MTAC and have a custom made. in fact I'll likely do that.

thanks for the insight and suggestion!

Great thread. It's good to get some fresh information out there. Although not my thread, I appreciate everyone sharing info.

For out to 500 or so, the CDS style is good to go.

I think that is you practice enough and can dope the wind accurately, that can be stretched to 1,000 yards.

Unless you're actually measuring temp, humidity, and barometric pressure, there is no advantage to dial turning with drop charts over a CDS, at least to me.

well I have my MTAC scope headed my way, should be here saturday. does anyone know of a place that makes custom turrets for these? I'm a long ways away from having one made (laser engraved preferred), but I want to be ready for when I am.

any suggestions?

Google Kenton industries....they have a good reputation...very reasonable

already looked, they don't offer one for the MTAC

I sent them an email inquiring about the mtac and got zero response.

Ask these guys: infocustomturretsystems.com


They make stick on labels for the turrets that are very nice, three to a pack for like $26 delivered.

They can make one for any turret where you can accurately measure circumference, height, and clicks per revolution.

Thats my close second choice. I would really like a custom engraved one, looks like I might have to go that route.
