.308 AR general purpose longer ranged optic: TA11 ACOG vs VCOG
https://i.ibb.co/cwGtHQC/20171026-145311.jpg
This is my .308 18" barreled M&P10. It's a general purpose rifle, with a slight emphasis on longer range, being .308.
Currently, I have a TA11C ACOG with red donut and 7.62x51 BDC. I'm considering selling it and moving to a VCOG 1-6X, also with a 7.62 BDC.
Thoughts on this? My main goal is to improve my long range usefulness for both target ID as well as shot accuracy. One scenario is the possibility of going hunting in Wyoming, this would be my long range companion.
But I also don't want to reduce my medium and short range usefulness. I'm used to using a BDC, and all of my other rifles have ACOGs (I'm not rich... That's probably part of the reason why), so I would definitely prefer to stick with optics with a BDC.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks guys.
P.S. I usually shoot surplus 147-150gr M80 ball, but also have some FGMM 168gr for long range. I've heard it mentioned that a 5.56 BDC VCOG might actually match those better. Insight on this would be appreciated.
