ACOG 4X models

[C4IGrant]

The TA31DOC (or any ACOG with a small reflex optic on top) is a good SECOND choice to the S&B. I will soon have the new generation of Dr. Optics and mounts (for ANY ACOG) in stock.

The 3.5x TA11 is our preferred ACOG. Having said that, the S&B Short Dot closer to being the ideal GP optic...

I owned a TA01NSN and sold it and got a TA31F and like it so much better field of view is so much better and eye relief is so much better. the TA31DOC is a nice looking optic but a wee bit to expensive for me. I have shot with an EOTech but dont much like it. I have not tried a Short Dot but would look to see how well they work.

I have a TA31F, I have a bias because I've only peeked through a TA01 and one of the compact models. Out of the few I've tried I am hooked on the TA31F. I find it aims fast and accurate follow up shots are easy. I shoot at night alot so the Illuminated portion is handy for taking shots at distances where I couldn't even see with irons. I'd like to find a place where I could shoot unknown ranges as it would be a better test of my abilities as well as the optic.

If you are concerned about close ranges with the fixed 4x, here is something to try. If you can control your eye dominance, with both eyes open use the eye not looking directly through the optic. For me I see the illuminated cheveron appear above the front sight post and to the left. Sometimes I have to blink and hold the eye closed for a split second to switch dominance to the other eye. It's worth a try. Other than that Point shooting is your friend.

I will have to admit that I'm getting more and more interested in the TA31DOC. It seems to cure most of my issues with the 4X ACOG. I only wish Grant still lived in Virginia so I could check one out before I spend the cash.
