| Is there a cheaper version of the ACOG out there that does the job almost as well? |
|
Primary Arms is coming out with a fixed 2.5 and fixed 4x scope with their ACSS reticle soon. Uses ACOG mounts and everything. The 2.5x is going to be about $249.
PA 2.5x Compact |

No kidding...I've bought multiple ta31F's for <$700 Quoted:

A slightly used ACOG. That sounds about right. They are like cars. Drive them off the lot and they depreciate pretty quick but are still like new.

You're seriously asking this in GD instead of the optics forum? 
Primary Arms and Burris make compact prism optics that are similar in theory. There's a ton of cheaper ones that are all piles of shit for the most part. That said, I think the TA01 is a $500 optic at best.

I've bought 3 used Acogs here. All were like new. Quoted:

There is a reason a "slightly used" TA31F goes for $700. Ask me how I know....  I've bought 3 used Acogs here. All were like new. I have no doubt. Send them in to Trijicon for service and you might learn an interesting story about your serial number. |

A Lucid just LOOKS like an ACOG. It has no magnification and is more or less a fancy 30mm mutli reticle red dot sight. Not to take anything away from the Lucid, though. They are great sights... just not in the same function / feature category as an ACOG. |

They are great sights... just not in the same function / feature category as an ACOG. It's a good sight. I did speak to a Lucid rep a couple months ago whom did confirm to me that they were working on an HD7 style magnified combat optic. 
I'd look for a used ACOG or the Burris AR332. On the tail end of my time in the National Guard, our company commander authorized the use of the Burris for soldiers that didn't have ACOGs. A few guys used them, and they seemed to hold up pretty well. |

I bought a Trijicon certificate from a guy who won the Rocky Mountain 3 gun match for $800. The certificate was good for any Trijicon optic up to a $1640 retail value. I had the guy send me a pic of the certificate. I called Trijicon and verified the certificate and number on it was valid. They said it was. So I got a brand new TA31RCO-A4CP. It took about 12 weeks to arrive. It was worth the wait. I have yet to see one of those for sale new under $1250.

NCStar ACOG. Legit as fuck. http://a248.e.akamai.net/origin-cdn.volusion.com/e3ojd.u4fn9/v/vspfiles/photos/ncs815-2.jpg?1347983624 I just got back from a gun show. Those things were everywhere, along with an incredible number of brands I have never heard of before, yet are exactly what the "operators" are all using these days.

| The IOR QR-TS or the Browe Sport Optic are two other options. Too bad both aren't much cheaper than an ACOG although the Sport Optic still has me interested. |
