We just got 350 brand-new FN M4A1s, same configuration. SOCOM barrel profile.

Damn things HAMMER out to 300 yards with M855A1 and ACOGs.

May I ask what ACOG? Thank you.

TA-01B with the 7.62 reticle -- crosshairs, not the chevron.

Three kids on the combat shooting team are using the TA-01B, two others the issued TA-31F. All other guns use the BUIS.

They all come with the bottom mount sling swivel.

What ammo do they use with those ACOGs?

M855A1. The steel-tip stuff.

Yeah it shoots pretty well, especially with a new M4.

Any particular reason they're using a 7.62 reticle with M855A1, or is it the optic that was on hand?

The carbine and M855A1 seem to match the 7.62 trajectory to 500 yards. The TA-31F is close, but has the chevron instead of the crosshairs at 100 and 200. We're going for points and precision rather than just a hit anywhere on the E-type.

The X, 5, and 4 rings get pretty small past 300 yards:

Interesting. Thanks.
