I ordered the lower mount for my sam7sf, the ak301m. Thank you primary arms! Now I just need to figure out which optic to get.
I've narrowed it down to a 7.62x39 Acog or an aimpoint t1/t2. Can't figure out which one. Anyone got any ideas? |

On an AK? Aimpoint definitely the cartridge shines up close
I could see a 1.5x Acog |

I went with the attero arms mount that replaces the rear sight and mounted a Sig Romeo 5. Shoots about 3 MOA at 100 yds...which is acceptable to me for an UF AK.

I am going to try the TA50c with a piggyback rmr.
RS AK-302m / AKOT compact mount / TA50c / RM54 / RMR 1moa dot Just waiting on the acog to show up now... |

An Aimpoint will be faster close up, but the lack of holdover marks will cause struggles at longer ranges (like 300m+) with 7.62x39. An ACOG won't be as fast for close up shooting, but will help to ID targets and get eh right hold over at range. With 7.62x39 ranging is more important because of the poor trajectory when compared to 556 NATO or 5.45x39. AJ |

I’m really tempted to give the ACOG TA50 a try on my SAM7sf but I’m really worried about the cheek weld. I despise a “chin” weld on a rifle. I have a ZPAP M70 with an Attero Bravo / Aimpoint T2 and that’s a great lower third co-witness height but a little magnification would sure help my aging eyes on this SAM7sf build. |

I’m in my late 30s and so far I’ve had the same prescription for contacts since probably 2002. I haven’t noticed any trouble picking up stuff but I suspect when I hit 40 I will. I have the rs regulate lower I just need to figure out if I’m Going with an aimpoint or acog and after almost a year still no decision has been made! |

I like the primary arms 3x micro prism. Not a lot of practice with it but feels decent with snapshots up close. 3x seems to be the max magnification I can shoot both eyes open up close, have a 4x that doesn’t work as well.
I’d say acog unless you have night vision and want to passively aim. |

For a side rail mount (rs regulate), the T2 is incredible. You can still see irons through it. This is my preferred AK setup.
If you have a railed top cover, I agree the ACSS Raptor 3x from PA is excellent. |

TA-50 with an RMR mounted.... best of both worlds.

I have an ACOG, one of thr earlier gen 4x .223 units with the fiber optic. The glass quality and Window box of viewing is beyond amazing.
That said, as a general purpose rifle that will include 10 yard CQB, 4x is just too much fixed magnification. I ended up switching it out for a fixed 2.5X CQB other brand (Primary Arms). That gives some magnification, yet will still CQB. And isn't obtrusive large and heavy, like a LPVO. I'm the one guy in the room not sold on LPVO's. I did move the ACOG to a more dedicated Grendel field hunting gun, where <10 yard shots are not in the mission statement. |

I have acogs and PA prisms on the majority of my ARs but I like RDS on my AKs for some reason.
