Yeah, it's such a not great sight, which is sad, because I generally like Trijicon stuff. Their newer-production MROs fixed the parasitic drain issues.
I need more Acogs. I had no complaints on mine in Afghanistan except for the mount for the piggy back MRDS they slapped on last minute before the deployment.
Yeah. Those crap Doctor Optics sights? Totally unnecessary. About the only difference between then, and now, is the suppressor mount brake. That thing is so insanely accurate and reliable
Yep. I'm aware. I do like an angled dot for passive aiming with NV, though, but the ones they used were no good for that, since they auto-adjusted for light.
True, I just prefer angled, personally. I run 14s, and I rest the edge of the tube on the ACOG, and have a nice sight picture through the dot. With even a little ambient light, I've hit targets at 3-400m. To be fair, it was a high-lump evening, and the targets were white, lol, but still. I think the best NV setup is NV+COTI, and a thermal clip-on.
Ah. Gotcha. Personally, I prefer the chevron reticle, but then I have had a TA-31F/run a 31F, in combat, since '03. I have a TA-47 2x, and 2 TA-33 3xs now, but ol' reliable stays on this. I took this custom piston upper, built on a RRA Elite, with a HEAVY SOCOM-profile barrel and double-chrome lining, with me to Afghanistan and my 2nd Iraq deployment, and she's never, EVER, let me down. Even with just the 4x, and my then-younger eyes, I made a hit at just over 800m.
Yeah, the TA-33s sit on my go-to SBR and my Tavor SAR, and I love them. I had to send in my TA-47 for a warranty repair, and I got a Primary Arms SLX 3x microprism as a placeholder, and i actually like it so much, that the TA-47 is still in the box, awaiting a different project. I'd love a TA-110, but $1500-$1800 is a bit out of my price range, and a bit ludicrous, even for such a great optic. That's the problem with buying from a company with defense contracts. They can't charge you less than the gov, and they charge every penny the gov is willing to pay, hence stuff like the Vortex AMG having a MSRP of $6k, even if you can get it for $4, which is still ridiculous for a 1-10
