I was lucky enough to purchase this TA31F from a buddy for $620. I carried one in Afghanistan for 13 months but really only used my TA44's on my personal rifles. I missed the huge FOV and the short eye relief does not bother me so I made the decision to add this ACOG to my do it all rifle. I plan to run a Burris FF3 on a 45 degree offset for close stuff.
What really surprised me is the GDI mount. It allowed me to move the ACOG back a little and is built like a tank. These mounts are normally close to $200, but were being closed out for $39.00 and change. The total charge with shipping was $47.00. It was well worth the price and compares nicely with Larue and American Defense.  They are also reported to have only a .001 to .003 shift when being removed and reinstalled on the upper.

Yeah, what he said. I've come to the conclusion, a long time ago, an ACOG is really what I'd want for glass. But I just don't have deep enough pockets for one. So I'm living vicariously through you right now.
Nice build too.

Dumb question. Is that mount on backwards?

Dumb question. Is that mount on backwards? They can be mounted on either side. If I turn the ACOG around there is a little overhang of the optic off the rail which hits my BUIS and forces me to move the whole mount one notch further. The eye relief is already short without having to move it farther forward. If I run the mount the way it is now, I do not have that overhang.
The same can be done with a Larue or ADM amount. |

ACOGs do indeed have good glass. They do not have great glass. Gotta spend a little more for great glass.

That is just a smoking deal for a GDI mount. I'm tempted to turn one into a tripod mount at that price. |

When i read the thread title, I thought about my ta31f as I was clicking on it. And lo and behold...
Yeah, there is better glass. But not at at 8oz. It's the tits. |

Let us know how it goes. Do you know what the hole spacing is for the PA scope? Quote HistoryQuoted:

My mount came in today. Thanks again for the heads up.
Two things I noticed. 1st- it's heavier than the mount that came with the pac2.5x. 118 grams vs 79 grams. 2nd- the base on the scope does not take up the full mount. There is ~1/2" front and back of empty groove. Nothing I'm worried about. It's a $48 (shipped) quick release that has return to zero. |
