ACOG TA31RCO-M4

[OIPactual]

I have an acog, and I'm having a hard time finding the reticle measurement for the hash marks on either side of the Chevron.




I imagine these are used for ranging, but without knowing the value of each I can't use them to range. Any help would be appreciated.

Mods, sorry if this is in the wrong forum, when posting from my phone I can't figure out how to post in different sections.

Those are mils.
10 mils from tip of chevron to first long vertical line. 10 mils between long vertical lines, short line at 5 mils.
Most effective for communicating locations and adjusting fire, too coarse for ranging.

The distance from the tip of the chevron to the first mil scale left and right is 10 mils. Each long line is 10 mils, short line is 5 mils.

It's not used for ranging. It's used for communicating target positions and other relationships to team members within the fire team. You can also use it vertically.

I see, so for someone who has been a moa guy for his whole life, how big is a mil @ 100 meters? For example, if 2moa = roughly 2 inches at 100 yards, then what would 2 mils be?

1 mil is 1/1000th of your distance.
1 meter at 1,000 meters.
10 cm at 100 meters.
36 inches at 1,000 yards.
3.6 inches at 100 yards.

Can you elaborate on how you would use the reticle to communicate that info to your team?

"Enemy soldier 5 mils to the right of the the tree." So your team mates can put the center chevron on the tree and get close to the location.

Gotcha, thanks.

On an unrelated note, is it normal to have the sight mounted farther back than you usually would? Im 2 slots back from the front of the upper.
