I put a Burris 1x4 XTR on my Grendel Overwatch and I find it perfect for my use. It is a true 1X and with the illumination dialed in for conditions is almost as fast as a traditional Dot Scope. The reticle works well for the longer shots (300yd max) I get here in GA. I prefer the XTR reticle to the MTAC because my regular shooting/hunting partner and I are addicted to shooting medicine bottles of Tannerite at ranges beginning at 100 and out to 350yd (the max distance of the field we use). the center circle allows me to center on the small bottles like a "peep" site. The larger solid red dot on the MTAC I tried covered the bottle at the same distance. Only time will tell how well it will hold up to rough use and hard knocks but I have been using Burris LER scopes on my hunting handguns in 41, 44 and my 45Colt, feeding them a steady diet of my heavy cast bullets for 15 plus years without a failure. Would I bet my life on a Burris..... yes without any hesitation. My XTR at IX has enabled me to make guick shots on two pigs in close in a South GA swamp that we hunt often and I'm not real sure who was hunting who at times but the pucker factor can get real high when they come tearing out of the bushes at you.
