While the TR21 and TA33 may not be the most precise optics on a square range they are some of the best at hitting targets that are actually trying not to get shot.

The ACOG just lets you do it further out!

Here is my TR21 amber on my Ultra Light Arms .308 and my son shooting my POF with TA33.

Trying not to get shot..Your referring to an animal.. Steve you really need to check out the tr24..just to try it..I liked the ta33 and still may buy one ..But I think you'd be impressed with the upgrade from a 21 to this newer 24..

Rickenbacker53,

Yes Animals, all of them, both 2 legged and 4... Whatever needs shooting under the exigencies of the given situation.

I love both the Accupoint and ACOG series of optics.

I own 2 Accupoints. The TR 20 3 X 9 is on my 22 LR bolt action Great on small game!

The TR 21 1.25 X 4 is on a .308. Great on big game! I think these are the best hunting optics "for me" given the envelope for which they are intended to be used

If the TR 24 were available when I bought the 21 I would have bought the 24 as it is an improvement over the 21 in several areas. I think it's a great scope for the money.

Both ACOGs and Accupoints are fine choices for an AR platform. Inside of 300 m the ACOG's only advantage over the Accupoint is that it is more resistant to damage. The Accupoint will save you hundreds of $$$ over the ACOG.

However, in my opinion, If you want your AR to have the ability to engage uncooperative targets (persons who are moving in and out of cover/concealment and might even be shooting back) at unknown ranges from 300 to 600 m then the TA33 will do that. the TR24 can't, as it has no BDC capability and no ranging capability.

To hit beyond point blank range with a TR24, you would have to
1- range the target independently with a rangefinder,
2- guesstimate the holdover based on information on a range card that at best is taped to your stock at worst is in your pocket.
3- attempt to apply the holdover. This is very difficult with a thick lower post as it tends to obscure the target.
4- fire.

To hit beyond PBR with the TA33
1- match stadia bar to target's shoulder width
2- fire.

If medium range is part of what your rifle is expected to do, TA33. If not, the TR24's the choice.
