I still am very fond of my ACOG guns despite other the new cool LPVO's and RDs on the market. Ran this one out from 100 to 750 with great success.

Slick rig. That’ll work!
After trying five different ACOGS that 3.5x is by far my favorite. Decent field of view and great eye relief. I’ve got one in 5.56 and 7.62.
Agreed the eye relief is so much better and the reticle goes to 800 vs 600 I think. I really wish I had the monster 6 power like the military used. The brits or canucks used. Can’t remember which one.Quote:

Yea it’s great. Utilized most of the time. You can use wooden dowel rod or PVC pipe. We have used both.Quote:

VERY nice!
Oh man, a good one PB!
Thanks for sharing PB, please tell me about the level that you have mounted and do you feel it is helpful enough if I normally shoot out to 400 or more useful beyond that distance?
Inside 500 yards I wouldn’t be too concerned about rifle cant. I would skip it the level and bang away. I run US Optics levels. And prefer the folders. PBQuote:

3.5x55 ACOGs have the most forgiving eye relief out of them all! I personally prefer the LED versions of the 3.5 and 4x32. User adjustable brightness and if you’re lucky, you don’t realize you set it on its brightest setting and get a free LASIK procedure.Quote:

PappaBear - as someone who likes to load my bipod that stick tied to your shooting mat is absolute genius.:)
I don't know which of us came up with it. We started with PVC at one point I think. But this goofy stick (which is the closed dowel for hanging clothes) has been working for a long time.Quote:

Anyways, as noted....it was a pig. Mk11 gang for life. I preferred the variable power optics all day every day, but you do you.
Yea, its my 4th AR10 and all others have NF variable power optics. Its a fun gun but if I only had one, it would be NF first.Quote:
