I have two optics and two rifles. would you recommend pairing the Acog TA02 with a LaRue 12" for a more compact setup, and run the 1-8 LPVO on my 16" LMT for maximizing both optic's performance?  I am hunting varmints at 300 yard, Do I have this backwards?

12" with Acog makes sense to me.

12" is more RD+Mag IMO.
But the Ta02 is a pretty good base for an RMR or RCR.
That would round out the 12" a bit better.

Yes sir. Thank you.

With the scopes you have the ACOG on the 12" makes sense.

But if you don't mind buying something a 1X or 2x like a Primary Arms GLX would be nice.

The 8X on the 16" makes more sense.

12” makes more sense.

I’m going with, it depends.

Chrono the ammo out of each and use a ballistic calculator to determine which rifle/ammo lines up with each scope the best.

The Acog on the 12” doesn’t make sense if the BDC doesn’t line up in some form or fashion.

With the lpvo, hold over in moa’s or mil’s is pretty easy to do (assuming no BDC on the lpvo)

Just put the TA02 on the 12” and zero at 50 yards with the 200 yard line.

This... the BDC in the ACOG is probably closer to what you are getting out of the 16", but you need to figure out exactly what the reticle is for (ammo and velocity) to know for sure.

Assuming the LPVO has a mil reticle, you can use it with anything.

I’m not sure why so many people are saying TA02 BDC won’t line up. Zeroing Chevron tip at 50 yards will line up shorter barrels.

Either option is fine. Just a matter of preference. I have NF nx8 1-8 on both an 11.5 and a 14.5. Just depends on what you personally prefer.

I screwed up and got the bdc reticle in my LPVO

Zero the second crosshair(200y) at 50 yards.
