Trijicon ACOG LED

[Bret]

I'm looking to get a 4x32 Trijicon for one of my rifles and saw on their website that they're now selling a LED version. Does anyone have firsthand experience with the new LED's? If so, how do they compare to the regular versions, advantages, disadvantages, etc.?

held one in my hands, friend owns it. No glowing light pipe at night....

This is very interesting, there are so many versions of the ACOG, care to pass on a model or part number. Thanks.

I want one. Still wish there was a TA33 or TA44 version though.

Thanks for the link to a nice review.

I had one. Sold it after a while since it didn't really do anything different than an ACOG Bought a Browe BCO instead of a TA02 recently and the auto dimming on the Browe is really easy to use. I would still get a TA33 LED version if it used AA's or AAA's though for one of my other rifles.

I purchased the TA02 the moment they debuted in 2012, and have not had any problems. In fact, it still operates on the original included battery.

Prior to that, I always owned the dual-illuminated models, and will never go back to them. In daylight, the fiber optic collects light so efficiently that it causes certain reticles to bloom, disrupting the sight picture and accuracy, so like droves of others, I routinely covered the light collector with tape, and it took lots of experimenting to get a good balance. With no light source at all, the tritium is somewhat useless. Regardless, the FO and Tritium models are phenomenal optics, but the bar was definitely set and raised with LED.

Anytime you can manually control reticle illumination, you're winning. Shooting from daylight into lowlight, from lowlight into daylight, or shooting within lowlight exclusively, the LED models definitely excel. I've taken lowlight courses, and the benefits were there, and overwhelmingly obvious.

The only cons are the added weight, and as always, the short eye relief, which never bothered me anyway.

I looked at TA02 but went with the Browe BCO, and couldn't be happier. Automatic brightness control works so well that there is no need to manually adjust it. Now I wish that all my Aimpoints had the same feature.

I've been considering both the TA110 and the TA02, but the only ACOG I have been able to find locally to get a look through has been a TA11, the fiber-optic/tritium 3.5x. I was impressed by the eye relief, eye box and field of view, all of which appear to be the same as the TA110. Are there any advantages that the TA02 has over the TA110?

The TA02 is lighter, has .5x more magnification, and a slightly wider field of view. The TA11/TA110 have much improved eye relief/eye box. Unless you shoot with a very traditional shooting stance most of the time, the TA110 will be much easier to work with.

IMO, the TA11/TA110 is the way to go unless weight is your top priority.
