the TA33 is probably the best ACOG a guy can buy for his AR. The other models might have more magnification or the extra 200 meters shown on the BDC to take you out to 800, but in terms of speed, light weight, eye relief and cost, the TA33 has them beat. I've had mine since around 2006. They only offered one reticle color at the time, these days I would go for the TA33-GH which has a green horse shoe.

https://www.trijicon.com/na_en/products/product3.php?pid=TA33-8 is that a good choice? the reticle seems good for close up and out to a few hundred meters the TA33 is probably the best ACOG a guy can buy for his AR.

Those of us that have been in this for a while, have seen black rifles become a mainstream fad, just like BeenyBabies, and it is crashing just as fast. This is not a "Thank You" to WOT vets.

This thread reminds of when I see fat old guys whine at home depot because they cant get the 10% discount without a current or retired ID card. "Ah served in the Navy for 3 years in 1995, give me mah damn 10% on this $18 purchase!!!1!" View Quote HAHAHAHA!!!!!! Exactly. I don't begrudge the boys who served before 9/11 (I joined in 1998 and am still AD) but don't bitch because we get a certain discount that you don't get. That's like the morons who were upset about the possible Silencerco Blue Label program. |

Don't care about the discount, wouldn't use it anyway. But if you GWOT vets think your service is more appreciable than earlier vets, you're fucked in the head. I was 18 in 1989, so that is when I joined. If I had been 18 in 2002, I would have joined then.

Nobody that joined pre or post 2001 is any different from any other jackass that joins the military at any time. Some people get to choose their assignments and some do not. Some people jump up and down and fight to get somewhere and some prefer to let nature take its course and realize the deployment will come to them. Then there are those that avoid risk, and the heck with them. I qualify for the discount, but don't need the optics right now. I'm happy they are offering the discount and really wouldn't care if I didn't qualify. I also share the opinion that some have alluded to that Trij had to draw a line somewhere and they chose to make that discount available to those that were more likely to have used their stuff while deployed. |

About to order a MK6 at 40% off too this month. Now that I think about it, I got all three uppers, the stocks, sights, and scope mounts with a military discount, the engraving was free because of it, and I got 15% off all those MRP barrels being converted too.
