The IDF mounts the ACOG on an ARMS dual throw lever mount, and then sticks that on top of an ARMS #2 carry handle rail. It sits hight but that gives them the ability to switch to a night vision scope as the need dictates. Usually the ACOG is on a DM rifle, not everyone gets one. They do use cheek pieces to improve the cheek weld.
I have a friend that runss a TA01 on a M4/A2 upper. He likes it. Its not to high, but he doesn't use all the mounts under it, just puts it straight on the handle. That's the way I'd do it if mounting to a handle. Its a good scope, just an "older" model. Other model ACOGs offer advantages the TA01 didn't offer. But it is a good piece of glass. |

My wife likes her TA01 directly mounted on the carry handle. She doesn't think that it requires a cheek rest. BSW

I actually have an opportunity to buy a TA01 NIB for $600.00. I'm not sure if I want it or not. I am really after a TA-31. I am going to watch this thread and see what is said. I may get it if enough positive info is seen.

The TA01 is a good little scope. I used to have mine on my A2 until I got an M4. At that point I put it in a TA50 mount, and it did well on the M4. Now it's in the same mount on an ADM build.
If you use a cheekpiece, you will loose the use of the iron sights underneath. However, you can adjust your cheekweld by thinking of it more along the lines of a jaw-weld. Works just as well, it's just a little different. IIRC somebody makes a mount for a JP minisight that mounts like the BUIS on the NSN model. |

There's nothing to restore. It's a SP1 upper on a Oly lower. The rail is there to float the barrel and provide a place for a bipod, when she wants to have it mounted. As far as the TA01 goes, it's nice. Optic quality is on par with my ELCAN, the heavy lines allow pretty fast short range snap shooting. Longish distance is covered also. If I want to replace my ELCAN, I'll probably get a ACOG. BSW |

I have run ACOGs on carry handles and think the cheekweld issue is way over exagerated. These optics were designed for the carry handle. I like them there; instant irons.
