- The ACOG isn't a cheap optic, so selecting the right reticle for you, may help you dodge buyer's remorse after you see them in action.

Thanks for watching !
Gotta say... this is probably the best video ever made regarding reticles. Thanks!
Thank you! A lot of work to make it so I appreciate you watching .
Hey, it’s the lackluster guy. I love your videos man!
Dude... the first 5x min where you explain and analyze lighting conditions was super educational, efficient, and helpful. One of the most amazing things I have see on YT.
Thank you and thanks for watching ! Much appreciation !
I agree I always grumbled that ninox nv was green when we were trained to use red visible light torches to avoid ruining natural nv when transitioning, but this makes a ton of sense!
Next level!
I trippple this comment!

Geez. Most of the comments are old (as of April 2024). But the info you offer is solid & relevant. I'm stunned that a producer of such a high quality vid like this has such a low sub count.
I don’t post too often because I’m busy in my daily life. Appreciate you watching and complimenting the hard work in the videos.
Above the first comment on Mobile u can switch from "top" to "newest"
Same thing in live chats. I Always switch it
A little added info for anyone seeing this. In the marine corps we ALWAYS at least half taped ours. In full day light the reticle is just insanely bright and it'll wash out your target and make it difficult to acquire a good sight picture. The illuminated reticles really shine in low light conditions around dusk and dawn, they're awesome when they aren't fully lit.
That’ll be pointed out in. A future video actually. Thanks for sharing your expertise!
as an army grunt I can confirm we did the same thing as well
I’m a day late and a dollar short as always. I usually had about 7/8 tapped and on my home rifle I do as well.
@@thegamerboy1000 as keyboard warrior not even from that states I was going to sat the tape trick, good one!
Bicycle tube cut out in shape of hourglass. Wrap it around the ACOG…cover as much or as little of the FO tube as needed for conditions. ACOG won’t get sticky and any loose tape won’t gather veg.
I deal with ACOGs on a daily basis, and this is hands down the most informative video I've seen.
Appreciate that ! We have a lot of current army and marines using these right now so anything to help understand them better for the users .
Pro tip. You can cut a section of bicycle inner tube and trim it to only wrap around the front and rear lenses while leaving a top connecting piece. That way you can twist it which will expose and cover the fiber optic.
Yep, love that method !
If it covers the lenses then how do you see anything through the ACOG?
It doesn’t cover the actual lense. You can probably find an example on google.
That's a slick idea. Would make sense for someone to design and sell such a item.
This was wicked awesome. You're always super thorough, incredible knowledge, and next level presentation. I always learn from all your videos and save them for future reference. Thank you.
Thank you . I envision a thorough video that helps others and you just let me know it’s appreciated. Thank you .
@@deltathirtyfour You have single handedly done more to educate people on ACOGs than Trijicon ever has. I wish these videos were around a few years ago when I started my journey into ACOGs. Back then there were videos of the chevron and a few bad pictures of the less common ones. Color selection was a nightmare for me too.
Always save delta thirty four videos for future reference defiantly
I hate to post the overused comment, but I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers. These videos are well-made, to the point, and I'm not watching any random shill ads in the middle of it.
I'll take what I can get :)
What i love about the Chevron is that at 100-200yds depending on your target size, you can always see what you're shooting at because the tip sits below your point of aim. Whereas many other dot based sights you cover your target with the reticle.
Yeah I think that’s why I liked it for the best close reticle design. Hold below, snap up, pew.
@@deltathirtyfour your video made me appreciate my acog again!
@@Nunez87 they’re definitely a loyal optic. Hard to shelf them for the apocalypse .
Awesome stuff, I wish I had this sort of a comparison and breakdown video years ago when I was shopping for an ACOG and bought a TA-33 (since sold). You, Hop, Brass Facts, and C-DOES put out the best optic review videos on the Tube.
Thank you . I try to put myself in someone’s shoes that has the questions and then try to make it how I wish it would’ve been explained to me.
Just got a 4X acog today. I was a little worried about eye relief and being able to use it close range from the reviews I’ve seen. I put it all the way back on my M16A4 build and actually had to move it forward a little bit so eye relief isn’t a problem at all. And as for using it close range, keep both eyes open and when you look through it you don’t notice any magnification for the objects in front of you. I can’t really explain it but you just see everything in normal magnification and can see the red reticle clear as day. So it’s 100% usable for cqb
Yeah I don’t mind the eye relief personally. Also you message was held for review for some reason.l not sure why I just saw it.
With all your ACOG knowledge, I would live to see a shootout between your best ACOG and other brand 2-6X prism scopes! Keep it up!
I do have some speed runs between multiple optics filmed, just not edited. They’ll be in a future video that should be pretty awesome.
Dude, you are pushing out great acog information. Please keep it up!
A few more on these bad boys.
Holy crap man, this was so well done. Your range and targets are so well thought out and executed.
Thanks , and appreciate you checking the video out my friend.
My first deployment was with a non illumination crosshair acog and it was definitely my favorite of them all. A little trick I used for approximate range estimation was using the shoulder width marks in relation to doorways to get a ballpark idea of distances.
I know a few of the black crosshair models (ta01) were floating around from socom hand-me-downs and people tried to grab them up when they could! Good stuff
Thanks for this hook up!... I was shocked by the quality of the information and all the lay-outs given / showed on your video! This by far IS the best video I've ever saw on the ACOG .. It's a very professionally executed video backed with the knowledge and graphics that showed you exactly what you would be seeing through said ACOG. I've been wanting an ACOG for a good while and this video has really helped me to narrow down my options.
Thanks for this FREE (and awesome) ACOG college coarse!!!
My pleasure ! Feel free to share the link with. A friend it may help. Appreciate you watching .
You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar, and your helpers deserve some praise too.
This video and the COG riser one were university lessons in ACOGonomy.
If there's educational material out there applying more science, theory, and practice into the selection and usage of combat scopes than you did, then I haven't seen it. Bravo.
Appreciate the love ! Definitely alot of work to make this. Other cool one sun my library worth checking out! Thanks again!
You really should have more followers! One of the best "learning" channels out there! Love the input!
Thanks. Maybe one day I’ll get more views.
Fantastic overview on the ACOG reticle design, was thingking of getting the circle/dot but that crosshair has def it's advantages
All three will do you well.
Great video, definitely learned a lot. I can say for sure the SDO for the M27 is a great improvement, I have shot range high with it so I can attest to its credibility. I do think the ACSS retical is best. The range brackets and wind hold dots are greatly appreciated in those optics. Although I have been on the fence on getting a TA02 for the longest time, it's extremely hard to get away from the ACSS because of how good I think it is.
I’d say the crosshair is the second best since you can’t get an acss in your ta02
@@deltathirtyfour I will keep that in mind!
First video I've seen from you and I'm absolutely blown away at your professionalism and knowledge! Very refreshing from many others content of just 'Fake it until you make it' mentalities.

My pleasure thanks for checking it out ! More like this in my video library.
This video should be a must watch for all PD S.W.A.T. departments .
Excellent work.
Thank you! Def took a sec to make.
Excited to watch this, never watched any of your videos before. Got my first ACOG a few weeks ago and love it. Spent days deciding what reticle I wanted. I hope the one I got isn’t the worst one in the video lmao
Edit:
Just finished the video and I seem to have made the right choice. When I first started my search for what reticle I wanted, the first thing I did was rule out the chevron. Why? Battlefield 4 lmao. No matter how hard I tried my brain would default to centering the chevron instead of using the point. The amount of easy headshots I missed because of that drove me nuts. I eventually just changed the reticle size so small that I was able to use the chevron like a dot. Even watching videos of people showing off the chevron it never felt like I could get used to it.
Anyway, after that I watched a lot of reviews on various reticle and I fell in love with the acss… just to find it was discontinued. I looked for a bit but couldn’t find any for sale. So the circle dot felt like the most logical choice for me because there weren’t many people talking about the crosshair reticle son ACOGs and it reminded me of the air soft knockoffs.
Finally I spent a full week deciding on the normal circle dot or the one that’s a little crooked and goes to 1000m. I eventually came to the conclusion that if I wanted to shoot past 600m I should have more than 4x magnification. This being my first and only ar I wanted it to be as general use as possible, not to unwieldy with a giant scope if I had to use it for home Defence and not gimped with only a red dot for medium range. So I ended up with the normal 4x horseshoe circle dot in red. I absolutely love it.
During the video you talked about the different reticles and getting on target quicker with and without illumination and how most of them didn’t make a difference up close. I found that the illumination is super helpful for me when scanning around with both eyes open. When I’m scanning around I can see the reticle like you would with a red dot. Without it I can still get the scope in the general area with feel but it takes more effort for me to focus onto the the reticle to line up a shot. I hope you understand what I’m trying to say and that I don’t sound insane lmao.
You have earned a sub from me because I’m interested to see the offset red dot video. I’m considering getting one but if it’s going up top I’ll just get the rmr or if I decide to go offset I might consider a slightly bigger red dot with a bigger window. Idk let me know if that’s a bad idea, can’t say I have the free cash to get a off set mount and red dot for it just to find out it’s crap and that the rmr on the ACOG would have been better.
Thank you for watching and it sounds like you handled the Acog owner process like a boss. Narrowing it down is a struggle haha. Circle dot is also badass and will serve you well. I figured this video could help the Acog newbies to avoid the mental gymnastics we do before buying one. I’m getting the next one worked out now.
I just found your channel brother. Damn, this is the best info I’ve ever gotten on ACOGs!! As a veteran, you taught me more about coloring than I learned in 11 years in the Army. Thanks for the great video. Stay vigilant.
great super informative content as always. this channel is highly underrated. thank you for all the knowledge you provide to us man.
My pleasure, even more to come. I’ll be getting em out a bit faster, had some computer crashes and did more shooting than editing lately. Appreciate you watching
Straight up, the first 10 minutes of this video should be required viewing for anyone using illuminated reticles and deciding which color is best. Seriously, this single video would answer the same question found thousands of times in Reddit and gun forums. Great video!
I can’t express how useful this video was man, thank you so much
My pleasure !
This is probably the best and most informative video I've seen on this topic, ESPECIALLY the first 5+- minutes regarding the explanations on reticle colors and what works/doesn't work best in different lighting conditions!!
I realize that this is over a year old, but I am just now coming across it (and your channel in general actually!).
Awesome!
I have found the TA 33 with crosshairs to be ideal for me. Maybe not for everyone, but I like it because of the generous eye relief and I shoot with both eyes open.
Yeah I totally get it. If it had the forward top dot it might be a better option in the grand scheme.
Bro I found you yesterday. And I cannot stop binging your stuff. There's so much critical thinking and thought put into so many of these videos. You are killing these videos man
Intro is fire. Another awesome ACOG video.
Thanks my man!
I picked up the trick of half to 2/3 covering the fiber to keep the bloom under control. For me personally the reticle being darker was less of a hinderance than it getting too bright.
Same thoughts exactly !
There is a new product that attaches to the ACOG that reduces the Reticle Bloom in bright day light (it covers just over half of the fiber optic) and also has an LED with 11 light settings so it will illuminate the Reticle in low light or when aiming from inside a room out into bright day light. It is called the REM ACOG. (Reticle Enhancement Module) It is powered by one CR2032 battery. You will never need to replace the Tritium if you use this in low light. It weighs 2.6 oz.
I had someone send me a link. Very cool, I did wish that the cover went the full length of the fiber to turn it all black was my only small bummer.
@@deltathirtyfour Everyone has their own illumination preferences so you can still tape down as much of the fiber optic as desired. The Knob can be quickly adjusted, even with gloves on, to your preferred illumination requirements. BTW. Do you want me to send you one or two to test out?
@@Chris-ct8if very true ! Can be solved that way, good point! And I’m. It sure yet if I’ll try one. I totally appreciate the offer . I may buy one to try in the future. It would definitely keep the weight down compared to the ta02 , but we’d still be missing the forward dot mount option. You rock !
@@deltathirtyfour Just contact me any time and I will send you a few to test out. :)
@@Chris-ct8if 100% will do ! Thanks a million.
Thank you for the no-nonsense comparison! Felt unbiased and matter of fact.
My pleasure and I just wanted to make the video I wish I had. Remember, they all work fine, this was just a hair more technical for everyone who needs it before they make that first Acog purchase.
I'm trying to decide between ACOG and LPVO, and at first I was all in for ACOG, but the more I look into this matter, the more I am leaning to the LVPO. Thanks and Blessings for this most informative and experienced information.
Trade offs . If a 1x is a bigger priority for you, lpvo. If the weight is a priority, maybe Acog.
@@deltathirtyfour Thanks! I'm really considering a TRACT Optics TORIC UHD 30mm1-8x24 MOA. I still learned a lot about ACOG's from your video.

More than double the weight just for a 1x and 6x, are you really gonna stretch your rifle out to 500yds? I’m satisfied with my 1.5x ta45 because I always have 10x binoculars
@@ignatiusDOWN of course I will, I’ve gone just over 600 yds with iron sights on my Shiloh Sharps 45-70; however, my eyes were quite younger 20 years ago. I don’t necessarily need bino”s with 8x.

My pleasure, one of the reasons I made it!
what did you get and which style?
Amazing videos as always. So incredibly thorough and answers questions I have been asking for years in regards to dark->light shooting, reticle colors, CQB needs, and reticle selections. Thanks for making this as I know this must have been a shitton of hard work to put together. Loving the content, can’t wait for the offset/piggyback video. Now to find myself a crosshair reticle ACOG haha 😂
What a great video. I've found that the 4x ACOGs deceivingly give the impression of having more that 4x magnification, partially because of the FOV and situational awareness that comes with it, and the short eye relief which I believe tricks your brain because your eye is closer to the projected image. I compare the 4x ACOG to the VCOG at full power and the ACOG give you more information and seems like it has more magnification. I really believe that the ACOG is a timeless optic
Love your coverage as always homie. You're consistent and thorough.
Appreciate your stories on ig more , you have me laughing mannnnnn! Thank hank you !
This video is so far ahead of any other the info the presentation everything is perfect subbed
Glad to have you watch, and stick around. There’s some other cool ones in my library worth watching as well!
Great video! I use EOTechs with 3x magnifiers, and I've never been a fan of LPVOs, so I figured if I ever wanted something set up for primarily longer range use, I'd get a 4x ACOG. This video is really helpful.
My pleasure! It’s not the perfect optic but it’s pretty f$&#ing sweet !
Try it first to check the eye relief.
It’s like you read my mind and made the video I was needing…except you answered 10 questions I didn’t even know to ask. You are a saint. Thank you, sir. Outstanding video. 🤙🏻

This video is gonna blow up. Nobody on planet earth knows more about acogs than you except maybe guys who design them lmao also nobody’s gonna be able to get this many acogs together at once. Super sick man plz put out more content for us to consume
Will do and maybe trijicon will let me design a reticle one day haha.
deltathirtyfour That would be sick sadly you didn’t review the reticle I have but it’s prob the oldest and most basic known one it’s the red chevron but without any wind holds on the sides . Just the minimalistic red chevron with BDC made me feel like mine sucked even more , I would def rather have a cross hair style just picked it up in a trade 😔
@@colerogers6816 I had one of those as well but it’s basically the chevron I included in the vid. Ta31f I think ?

Good to see your points on more concealed targets wearing more color appropriate clothing with respects to the reticule design paired with illumination. You are a great resource for ACOGs and their use / adjustment such as that truing video. I've been carefully considering additions to my GP rifle (I'm a buy once, cry once kinda person) and, having served with one, an ACOG I just can't pass up. I was looking into the TA02 line for the illumination dial and the more forward red dot placement. Problem for me is, what is that BDC made for? 16in M193? 14.5in M855?
Ta02 uses m4a1 reticle (14.5” m855) which you can true in… decision decisions. You could always setup a second upper to swap out :)
@@deltathirtyfour Ah ok, I'm running a 16" with M193 currently... I'll have to look on a calculator but it might be doable if I true in at 300m... or a good ol' pin and weld
@@deltathirtyfour So I finally got the TA02 and I looked through it to see the bottom "4X .223F". I took a look at Trijicon's site and pulled up the Marine Corps M16A4 & M4 ACOG reticles. The TA02's reticle seems to fit in-between the two in terms of the overall length of the reticle (A4 = 31.9 MOA, M4 = 37.5 MOA, & TA02 = 35.8 MOA). So now I have no idea what this is made for.

My pleasure! Hope it helps !
*The explanation of color saturation and tones was top notch!*
If anyone is using this as an example for 1x, "red dot" optics: don't... _ish_
Battery powered dot optics have a 'refresh' rate where the illuminated dot actually 'blinks' at a very high rate (30+ times a second). This feature keeps the battery usage down and incidentally makes the color more vivid.
The reticle color of an ACOG is achieved by different means and does not 'blink" (except for that LED illuminated abomination! half-kidding).
Keep in mind the limitations of your organic equipment: I was born with great color vision, others not so much. One dude in my unit was so color blind he legit didn't know what color the dot was in a M68 CCO.
*Always try to try-it before you buy it!*
Always thought the NSN's fixed iron sights with tritium front post was ridiculous, until I really mastered it.
Way more durable than the standard Doctor optics we had at the time and no additional maintenance required!
Hands down, the MOST informative and in depth video on ACOGs! I have two (in green), horse shoe and crosshair. Thanks!
Good choices ! And I appreciate you watching . More cool stuff in the works !
Very informative video. I appreciate the modest intro without five minutes of slow motion look how cool I am nonsense. Never used an ACOG but I have lots of experience behind red dots.

@@deltathirtyfour yeah my second ACOG I got was a TA31 green horseshoe from this video. Now I’m probably gonna a crosshair ACOG with LED but debating between TA02 or TA110. 4x with smaller body? Or 3.5x slightly bigger and heavier body but better eye relief.
Wow originally clicked the video because of the ACOG reticles, this was absolutely amazing a lot of good information and cleared up a great majority of misconceptions regarding the use of reticles, this was well worth stopping by to get detailed commentary on a much desired piece of glass, Thank You D34 excellent work.

If they wanted a video I’d have to redo it all professional , with one of those movie preview voices :) . I do wish I had this when I bough my first Acog.
Legit content. Solid presentation. Very informative. This is precisely what I had been searching for. Cannot wait for the RMR / RDS video. 👊
Yessir that you mess up next.
Solid work. Thanks for making the choice easier for me.
! Thanks. Fun one to make, basically the video I wash I had years ago.
@@deltathirtyfour yea you saved me a lot of pain and cash haha
My man, the amount of information you must of had to dig through to make this video is insane!
Definitely took a while to make but worth it to be there for the person who needs it!
So I'm in the market for an acog and I just binged out on your videos lol. Dude, thank you for all these, they helped tremendously in my decision. Appreciate ya man!
My pleasure! Wanted to help explain and guide others through my trial and error !
What did you end up getting ?
@@irishdixie77 The TA02, battery powered. It's fucking awesome.
@@spirako right on. I'll give it a look. Appreciate the quick reply.
@@irishdixie77 No problem man, it's a fantastic optic. You'll like it.
Acog and the t5xi are my favourite. Think I'm comfortable with these two scopes
They make devices that snap on top
Of the Acog, sort of like a sliding shutter so you can control how much of the fiber optic line is exposed to the sun. For those shots where you want the thinner black crosshair, this device would be a godsend, as you could make them illumination so dim that would function as if it weren’t illuminated at all, being so artificially dimmed vs the daylight
That’s a cool device for sure. I like mine .
Holy crap. Tons of information but super easy to understand! Great job.
Yeah it was a pain to put it all together ! Thanks for watching
Channel is extremely underrated. Picked up a 4x mil radical a couple weeks ago. Closest thing I could find to what I used while I was in. Only thing I didn’t realize was that it didn’t come with the place to mount a rmr.
Yeah my rco in this video also doesn’t have the rear rmr mounts .
Also thanks for watching !
A very comprehensive video, well done!
Thanks !
High quality content, needs more views, thank you sir!
Thanks for watching !
Looking into getting an Acog and stumbled across this gem. Incredible video chief.
Thanks for watching !
Great video!
The acss thick horseshoe works really good in low-light conditions if you do not have the illumination. You are not able to see thin horseshoes in low light. The entire horseshoe is what you normally aim with unless you need a precise shot. Then you transition to the Chevron.
Thanks! And the low light thick chevron makes sense.
As a new ACOG owner I wish I would have found your video before I made my purchase. I bought the 3x TA02 LED with the green Chevron reticle. I am happy with my decision overall
You have a good model. The ta02 is awesome and the led doesn’t have the dim reticle issues since you can control it.
