I've seen quite a few MRO's mounted further back on the upper. I know some posts had talked about this being an ideal to reduce the appearance distortion/ghosting/magnification. What about you Stick? Do you usually run red dots further back or is this instance specific to the MRO? Sorry if you have covered it elsewhere, lots MRO threads. Pic thread and all. |

I am interested in purchasing an ACOG but having trouble deciding whether to buy the TA01 (tritium-illuminated reticle) or the TA31-CH (comes with tritium and fiber optic).
My question is: besides having the fiber optic for the when the tritium depletes in a decade, what is the purpose of having the fiber optic in addition to the tritium? Does the fiber optic do something special that I'm not aware of? Thanks. |

Any of you guys bought the Accupoint 1-6x with a mildot reticle, yet? There's surprisingly little in the way of reviews on the new Accupoints.

The size of the illuminated dot on the mildot supposedly leaves something to be desired on the TR25, which is what makes me reluctant to buy one. |

How is that 1-4 did you get any range time with it yet?

It is a true 1X and very clear once you get the eye piece focused for your eye. I like the turrets being covered since it is not considered a long range precision optic. The segmented circle reticle is very fast to acquire and the bdc is a nice feature once you figure out what ranges the lines represent for your setup. The reticle is plenty bright for me and I've found that during the day, I rarely turn it on. The circle part of the reticle is big and bold enough to pick up without illumination. One interesting thing I've found is that in the Larue SPR mount it must sit slightly lower than my Eotech did. Quite often, I find that I have to make an effort to lower my head just slightly from what I was used to or I get a little shadow in my field of view. I'm debating about getting the higher Larue mount but for now I will continue to shoot it and see if I can train myself out of it. As you might can tell, I'm very happy with my decision to go with the trijicon 1-4. |

The illuminated dot in bright daylight is, in my experience, way to small/dim to be useful. I had high hopes that it would be similar in effectiveness to my razor hd II in size and brightness but it wasn't. I did like pretty much every thing else about it, however I sold it because it didn't meet my needs. Like pretty much everyone else, if the put they horseshoe reticle with BDC similar to what the put in a TA33 or TA11 I would be all over it. |
