Is the glass of good quality compared to something like a Burris MTAC?

frankly i am very impressed with the vortec crossfire 11 1-4x24mm. very good quality compared scopes costing hundreds of dollars more.try this scope, you will like it, i did.

Vortex makes great glass. If you have any problems, their CS is also the best.

The glass is extremely clear for the price point. Very little fish eye on the 1x. Burris has amazing glass but I am still happy with my purchase. I've yet to find anything I don't like about this optic and I've been through many.

I don't have a Burris to compare, but I have Nikon Monarchs and Leopold and it looks as clear and sharp as either of them.

I really like the glass quality, haven't used a Burris MTAC, but the glass was better than expected for the price.

I remember comparing the 2 but to me did notice glass difference to the point where I would spend the cash on the burris but people do like that scope a lot. I did notice different quality in glass when looking at the leupold 1-4 but it did not have a red dot.

This was purchased for my husband who shoots 3-gun. He prefers it over his 1.5-5x24 Leupold. He stated the glass is extremely clear & sight picture is brighter in low light.

Jerry, I would say something like 85%-90% as bright but very clear. Not exactly the same but very clear and bright just the same. You will notice a slight spherical aberration just at the very fringes of the lens but only when you sweep it which is typical in my experience for these types of scopes. If I didn't dislike the Burris reticle so much I would have likely gone that direction but these scope are very nice for about half the price. I don't think you will be disappointed in comparison to Burris or other similar levels of scopes. I have several Burris hunting scopes and have looked through MTAC which is definitely brighter but not hugely different. Jerry, I would say something like 85%-90% as bright but very clear.

The bottom is indeed smooth and should not scratch the glass used for ranges. As for its performance, I am unable to answer because my experience with this product is on my gas range.

I can't speak of the authenticity. Glencarin glass is a style of glassware. These are indeed Glencarin glasses of great quality. Very solidly made. They are even etched in the bottom "the Glencarin glass". Are they made by Glencarin the company? Not sure. I assume so and the quality has not required me to question it. Plus, the price is right.... How can you go wrong??

It's pretty good...I would not say stellar but good...most of the time I have the lid off so I am not a really good judge--I just like the style, and the fact that it won't tip over. The large styrofoam cups also fit inside when I buy coffee so I just slip those in it. Hope this helps! Also the lid that comes with it makes it easy to access..I have arthritis, and I like that!

I want to say the same as a soup can, but thicker. the enamel chips but I bought it for someone with tremors, who was tired of plastic dishes. my grand daughter and I eat off them and had zero chips. only the cups and it could again, be from getting dropped daily. I think you'll find the quality okay. it is not stainless steel, but some kind of steel or tin like a can. The price convenience and appearance are all pretty good.

Personally I think the quality is really good! The frame was strong and the lens are glass. I can tell you for the price the are well above the quality most of the brands that you find in the sunglasses boutiques. However, the lens are not as good as the few that you will see with glass but for the money nothing below $100 will touch these!.......

Sorry but I don't know how it compares. This one is metal and has a sturdy feel to it. The serrated edge ceramic stone rattles a little. Might be heavier that some would like, I prefer that sturdy feel and weight however.

It is all about quality. The L glass will deliver you a very well controled CA, good quality in the edges and a wonderful color retention. The 50mm f/1.4 is good and if you dont require the state of the art you will be good with that.

Looks good. Haven't used it once. Still walk to Dunkin Donuts. And yes, it's glass. One of the best makes out there.

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

I have used Burris products for years and have always been pleased with their performance. Vortex is a fine company and has many quality products but they have three levels of product lines and I am not a fan of the cheaper Chinese stuff...Maybe thats just me. Burris always stands by their products with the lifetime warranty and support is excellent. If you are planning to put a a red dot on top, the Burris Fastfire is a perfect match...

JJ350, I have a AimPoint with a magnifier on a M-4 platform, works well, but you have to swing the magnifier into place to go from 1X to 3X. I bought the Burris for 3-gun competition and is mounted on Colt 3-gun ready platform. The Burris XTR 1x4 scope comes with a holographic red dot that i mounted on top and good for close targets, for targets 50-200 meters downrange, I get into the scope and I added a speed ring for quick access from 2X to 4X. I can dial it up shooting or running. The glass is very clear and has held up very nicely so far. (6mos) Well worth the money and comes with the mount as well. You mount it, zero it, shoot it.

I bought two of them for a backwoods coffee station. I can attest that it is indeed made of glass.

I found that the packaging was good. It was shipped to us, and all the glasses were carefully packed, and were all in one piece during transit. I'd say as long as you have a good package handler, you will be fine!

The glass is of good quality and thick. Yes, weighs 9lbs. But it is far worth it. Very nice piece. I will buy another soon.

I think so. If you read quite a lot of reviews, you'll probably see that it's made of a different strength of glass than some, so it may be more sturdy. Good luck with your purchase!
