Works pretty good but for the same amount of money you could get a bushnell 1-6.5 (your choice of reticle and FFP or SFP) or a Horus blackbirdii 1-8.
What do need/want the optic to do for you? |

Anyone else have an opinion about this scope? It is on sale at Botach for $1060 until the end of today.

I plan on getting one for mine. My dad has one on his FAL and it's great; not really a precision scope but for a tough as nails general purpose optic
it's awesome. After shooting open sights my whole life I don't really feel the need to have a 10x scope on a battle rifle anyways. Plus, for long distance shooting the reticle allows you to use a fairly accurate holdover without fucking with adjustable scope turrets. Until I can get one of my own, I am using a TA 01 ACOG on my SCAR 17, and I have found that when using my grip pod and a sandbag as a rear rest, I am really limited by the ammo more than by the low magnification of the optic. With a 4x optic and handloads, it's no problem to hit an 8" steel plate at 500 yards. Good enough for me. |

Its what I have been using on my Scar 17 since I bought it. Works great for me, but I have only tried it out to 150 yards. But still no problems. When I pick up another 308 AR this year I will get another one for that rifle.

Thank for the feedback. I went ahead a bought one anyway. However, I am a little annoyed that I bought one yesterday because they said the sale was over in 24 hours. However, they are still on sell. Flipping marketing gimmicks. Hate when they work.

As for Botach, I bought a CompM4 ($499), Aimpoint Magnifier ($399), and some PMags from them without any issue. Not really worried about it and I am patient.  |

I have a TA-11 on my SIG 556 and love it. Its not for long range sniping but does a great job for anything in between.

Got to be the disenting view. Bought a TA11h-308g, and am not happy with it. Can't figure out why, but I keep swapping it out. I think I'd have been happier with the red reticle.

Now to be honest, I have not taken it to the range yet due to a family trip this weekend. However, I very much look forward to my next range trip to try it out. |

However, I very much look forward to my next range trip to try it out. No, I think it's the size/weight/balance of the 11. I have a red reticle 31h and LOVE it on the Scar, but of course, the BDC is wrong...and it's 4x. The TA11 just seems a little big, I bought the Scar for gram conscious weight reduction, adn with the TA11 it just is slightly more unwieldy. It can't weigh more than a few ounces more than the 31, but something about the larger package just doesn't balance out well for me. I really like the horseshoe on the 31h. It's red. :) |

Take a look at TA55A as well. Looks kind of goofy but its an amazing optic and perfect for ringing steel at 600 yards.
