I’m looking at a Burris mtac 4.5-14x42 scope and was wondering how they compare to the full field 11 scopes.
Was thinking it would be good on my 308 for deer and antelope out to 100-400 or so.
Any body with experience with these scopes?

I bought one 3 -4 years ago, it is a decent scope. I bought it for much the same purpose as you mention but ended up putting it on an M1A that is a range toy. The scope started on a Savage 16 in 7mm/08 but was "top heavy" and did not balance the rifle as I liked. I think the scope is a better match on a varmint or lighter target gun than a sporter but that is my opinion.

Does this have the adjustable objective?

Why not this version?

Yes it has the adjustable objective on the bell of the scope.
30 mm tube
The price is a large reason I’m interested in it.
On sale for $299

Discontinued model, but seems like a good deal.

I purchased two of these scopes on sale a couple years ago. They are good scopes with adequate glass for the price.

I bought one on sale for $249 at Cabela's online about 3 years ago, tried it for antelope, took it off and sold it for $250 through Ebay. The glass was clear, bright and color free. No complaints. I didnt like the size, weight, and goofy reticle. Too complicated for a hunting scope for my taste. Replaced it with a new Leupy 3.5 x 10 with the old duplex reticle. Half a pound lighter and easier to use. JMHO.
