    Ta31,Ta11,Ta33. And try to make the case for each being the "best".

    I love the TA31 because I was trained on it. One of my favorite things about the ACOG is that it's fucking fantastic, and it's clone correct, AND it's been in use forever. It's the carry handle of our age. Both the 4x ACOG and the 3.5x ACOGs were issued on huge scales. (Army and USMC for 4x, USMC for 3.5x on M27, M249, etc)
    Eye relief sucks, but I love everything else. One thing I'll note that hoplopfheil talked about in another video wrt LPVOs vs Elcan, yes, I can tell that unless you're literally just shooting known targets, adjusting magnification to get a better overall picture of what you're seeing is super useful. I had to use ACOGs in a forest, and trying to observe the OPFOR Marines I had a soda-straw-view problem, even with the HIGHEST FOV ACOG. LPVOs rock in the real world. Some of my heavier rifles I will never put an LPVO on, but they absolutely do have a huge use case for just finely adjustable magnification. The great things about ACOG is the weight and reticle and no battery and super durable.
    Elcan does not fit into these tradeoffs well. 1x is great for CQB, 4x is fine for range, but just observing and getting an idea of what you're looking at in a remotely visually confusing environment begs for adjustable magnification.
    It's a huge factor. People made the "Recce rifle" meme about it but it's downright useful for everybody. Positive target ID matters mil or civilian. Every situation.

    • @lordofthepigs888
      @lordofthepigs888 Рік тому +4

      The eye relief is overstated. If it’s on a 14.5-20 inch AR15 like intended it’s not going to give you scope eye, and after that it’s just a factor of moving the optic further back. I run my backup irons in front of my acog like the Canadians do.

Also, the shorter you are, the faster your bike goes; like, by a lot. Being 50-75lbs lighter than another guy will make a 500cc twin feel like a 650cc-750cc twin.

    I agree with two points on the TA31:
    It's a live by the acog, die by the acog sight. You need to maintain your training to use it effectively. You don't just mount it and shoot away. There's a learning curve.
    Eye relief. (the learning curve) Once you get set on it and train to find the eye relief and have it properly set up imho nothing beats the fov. It's just gorgeous.

I had an RX01NSN as well, it worked okay but i got rid of it only about a week before a friend sent me a light transfer adjusting lens for it. The RX reticle was either too bright when it needed to be dim and dim or nearly non-visible when it needed to be brighter lol.

And the eye relief! My god the eye relief!!! I agree the ta31 is really nice but you need to spend time with it. That was my second acog and it took me a while to warm up to it.

    I own a Ta-44 acss, Ta-50 7.62x39, and Ta31F. Weight, glass, and durability are the biggest advantage to the acog over anything. The 44 is awesome up close and gives you a smidge of clarity at 100 yards. I'm not slower than a dot, but you do get wash out here and there like any acog. The 31 is awesome midrange as mentioned. I personally have no issue with the eye relief unless shooting from odd positions. I believe that optic needs an offset or top mount dot because of that, but with that is best on a carbine imo. The 50 is I think the better Ta33. It has less weight, almost the same eye relief and better FOV. It is probably the best all around acog if not using a red dot as well

    The Leupold HAMR is better than all of the ACOGs. Similar glass quality, 2.7" eye relief vs 1.5" on the TA31, lighter, lower integral piggybacked red dot mount, better reticle and you can directly mount an Eotech EFLX or an Aimpoint T2 with an aftermarket adapter. Only glaring weakness was the Leupold Deltapoint optic it was bundled with which can now be replaced by the aftermarket options mentioned before.

    You guys are describing a desire for a TA50, I feel.
    I also think you should get some time with a TA648, the 6x acog. I think you'd be shocked at the usability of it, because it has the same FOV characteristic as the TA31.
    I also think the rifle changes a lot about what feels best. I hate the TA31 on an AR15, but I love it on my tavor, it's just how the cheek weld works. On the tavor it's a lot easier to comfortably get that eye relief every time you shoulder the rifle.
    For the TA33, it feels amazing on a carry handle, to me. I have no experience with the TA11, because I feel like once you're at that size and weight, an elcan eats its lunch.

    Thanks for the video, I have been really interested in buying a Trijicon Acog or Accupoint. Best thing for Acog is the durability and waterproof level with fiber instead of electronic that fail.
    I actually wish some of the models had the triangle post or stick reticle but upside down, so you can see the bullet impact. Having a line under the reticle under the scope makes it bad, especially if it’s a thick bar, at least in video games. I don’t know why Trijicon doesn’t have the triangle upside down.

    One of my Favorite LW & Durable optics if my Trijicon TA31 with the now Discontinued Primary Arms Aurora ACSS Reticle. I paired a green one with a Arisaka Defense 35 Degree on a 1.93” height riser hosting a Holosun HE508T V2 GR(Green) Elite.( Having different colored reticle in my primary and secondary sighting methods is a no go for me). I use a American Defense Manufacturing 2.05” Height Cantilever Mount to help reduce the tiny 1.5” eye relief allowing me to mount it farther to the rear, better balance on rifle and given I’m a 6’7” “svelte” 310lbs of Large American(12-14% Body Comp) the tall mount look dumb af YET is much more functional and comfortable, in most positions with prone being the one exception.)
    As my current TA31 & HE508T(weight is around 15-16oz & $2k +/- price point.) If I couldn’t run it on one of my LW SHTF 13.7”-14.5” set ups I’d likely rock a similar rifle outfitted with a PA PLx 1-8x+ a Badger Condition One Mount with 35 Degree Offset J-Arm Mount with HE508T/HE509T is weighing in at about 27-29OZ and cost is around $2,400 depending on its intended use and barrel profile.

  • @mobeus5019

    I legit hated the Ta31 I had. I put the RMR on top... and there was just no saving grace to the optic for my use. Sure it has good glass and an insane FOV. But my glasses scraping on the body just to see, the sketchy RMR mount, the SUPER high nature of the RMR mount, the blurry ass reticle that is in the manual as "normal" it simply shows the age and fact that it has not had to compete because military contracts. None of the Trijicon Acog/RMR products are worth the cost they demand.

    • @BrassFacts

      It's a fair point.

  • @LawlessNate
    @LawlessNate 11 місяців тому

    TA01 is best ACOG. If you shoot irons properly then you shoot nose to charging handle as it is, so the eye-relief is a non-issue if you're shooting properly anyways. The reticle illumination doesn't help during the day, but it can hurt. Leave a TA02 off or tape up a TA31's fiber optic rod to see for yourself; the etched reticle is perfect for daytime. The illumination helps in lower light situations, which is where the tritium helps. TA01 is the lightest of the three 4x models, and the non-4x models have smaller FOV for if you shoot incorrectly. Just shoot correctly and rock a TA01.

    I will interject on the 6x being useless, the British actually found a good niche for the 6x. They use the 6x ACOG as an alternate sighting option to a more traditional optic on their L129 squad DMR rifles, of course with an RMR piggy backed on top, at the front of the optic body.

      @@BrassFacts
      Correct!
      Only 1.5x which I thought would be ridiculous. Why not a true 1X? I picked it up to see if it was any clearer for me since the T1’s that I normally run are getting painfully ugly due to astigmatism. With the ACSS reticle it brings ranging to the table, fast shots, and the .5x actually seems useful in reaching out at the intended shorter ranges I’ll use it for.
      I had a TA01NSN which is the 4x with the amber tritium from the original SOPMOD upgrade. It looked cool and held zero, FOV was very nice too, but that damn eye relief😡I’m a tall gangly goon like Hop, that eye relief means my wrist has to be touching my shoulder to get a sight picture- not ideal.
