Been wanting a TA33 for my PWS MK114 but I am curious about some stuff about the TA33. This is my "go to" all around AR. Are all the reticle options calibrated for a 16 inch barrel? Tried some Google/ARfcom seach-fu and found a thread where someone was saying that the chevron reticle was designed for a 14.5 but couldnt find anything else. Anyone know for sure?
And I know this has been beat to death but it really is a tough choice.... horseshoe or Chevron in the TA33? I thought I wanted the chevron but lots of people seem to prefer the horseshoe for versatility which lines up with what I'll be using the rifle for anyway so I am conflicted! Might get a different mount as well. ADM, larue, any reason to get one over the other? Any info and preferences would be appreciated! Thanks! |

14.5" w/M855 but you have to remember it isn't designed for a precision role, BDCs are really just a guide anyway.
The horseshoe is very easy to use with both eyes open and I really feel like I'm giving up very little vs a RDS. Stick with the TA60 or AC12027 mounts. The others are the wrong height. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
| Have a TA33 with cross hair reticle and a TA31 with the red chevron. I like both reticles pretty well, I have more experience with the cross hair so I kind of lean that way, but as I get more accustomed to the chevron I will feel stronger with it. However, I like the 4x32 quite a bit better than the 3x30. You get a much wider FOV and the reticle is bigger to your eye. I will probably sell the TA33 once the TA31 with 300 blk reticle starts showing up on shelves. |

In my experience, the chevron reticle works for people with better eyes. Mine get tired and I can't focus perfectly and it seems like I am always due for new glasses these days... What happens is the chevron 'grows' when your eyes get blurry and it makes for a few MOA lower POI. This. Will only matter to people planning to do very precise shots under 100m like head shots quickly, but it's enough for me to know that I am done buying chevron reticles from anyone anymore.

The TA31 is pretty bad for that. |

thanks everyone! at this point i'll probably get whatever i can find cheaper with a preference on the horseshoe if I can find one. Went to cabelas and looked through the horseshoe on the ta11 and liked it just a tad more than the chevron for what I'll be using it for. the eye relief is the main reason I want the 33.... I have a 4x and for my eyes I have to get pretty close to it.
Thanks again! Now to just see if I can beat that eurooptic price right now but in a horseshoe reticle! |
