Quote HistoryI wonder which one ragincajun likes the most?? All these pictures have me wondering... all of you guys have yours mounted in the same position more or less... the objective lens is almost always lined up directly with the CH. Is this because ya'll shoot NTCH? Every one of you? I'm not a NTCH guy but I'm not very far off so, Is there any particular reason not to mount a TA31 farther back to alleviate the short eye relief? I don't plan on using back up irons seeing as... well if my acog isn't working my gun is probably effed anyways, right? So I should have plenty of room to move mine back a couple picatinny slots. |

For the 01/31, you have to shoot NTCH or mount the ACOG further back. The LaRue RCO mount will mount further back than the 4x DOS. The 33's eye relief is longer, but not that much longer. So, mounting in the same spot moves the shooter's head back. ACOGs are certainly hard to break... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Why would you replace an EoTech with an ACOG? Get an MRO Because I have learned over the last year that 90% of the shooting I do these days is 200+ yards. The Eotech did fine out to 500, I could hit just about anything. Once I got out to 600 and 700 yards I was only hitting about 50% of my shots and that wasn't good enough for me. I'll build another MRO rifle someday, but the Acog will come first. |

I had a similar idea back when I used to do reenacting (and had a tendency to forget my earplugs, which never stopped me from participating). I wasn't using the patchbox for anything and figured it would be a good place to put my earplugs so I'd never forget them again, since I kind of needed the rifle to do what I was doing. They're still in there well over a decade later. |

I'd argue the TA33 has a weak point in the objective housing being threaded into the main body casting, where the TA01/31/11 all house the objective lens in that main casting. But it's theoretical because I've never heard of the front falling off anyone's TA33. |

I have done most (all?) of my shooting at less than 200 yards. The TA01 was very easy to use from prone, kneeling and standing. I could make headshots regularly from prone, and center of mass shots were boringly simple. But what surprised me was the TA45. I could also easily hit center of mass from prone if I took my time. The clarity of the optic, even with the low 1.5x power, was very helpful. Standing offhand I could hit the steel about 60% o the time. The 1.5x ACOG is certainly capable of being a 300+ yard optic |
