I have one for my .223. Love it. It will be bigger than you expect. I was surprised when mine arrived at how long it is. It was worth the money I paid for it, I'm not sure about it rangefinding out to 800 meters but I have shoot out to 500 successfully. 25 weeks is a long time to wait, I'm not sure I could wait that long. I ordered mine from Mansfield Arms fron New Hampshire, He had then in stock. (last June) Had it in a week. Good luck and hope it gets to you early.

Honestly, these are HUGE, heavy scopes. Granted, they are tough, but it's an awful lot of money to spend, and due to the high magnification (and the weight), you will be pretty slow moving from target to target because of the small field of view. I honestly think a 3x9 Trijicon AccuPoint is a better fit. It's smaller, lighter, still has the BAC feature, and can be cranked down to 3x for carry or up to 9x for a long shot (or bench shooting).

KEEP IN MIND THAT THE 5.5X TA55 WEIGHS IN AT 25 OUNCES. A NIGHTFORCE NXS 3.5-15X50 WEGHS 29 OUNCES AND COSTS NO MORE. A LEUPOLD LR/T 3.5-10X40 WEIGHS 21 OUNCES AND COSTS CONSIDERABLY LESS.
TRIJICON RECENTLY GOT A LARGE MILITARY CONTRACT AND HAS PUSHED BACK DELIVERY ON ALL ACOGS TO OCT-NOV, REGARDLESS OF WHEN THEY WERE ORDERED. WES |

25 weeks? man oh man.
Have you thought about checking EE? I would hazard to guess at least 3 of them, even in .308 reticle, will pass thru there in the next month. And you will probably get a price break! Psssst, dont tell anybody, but I got mine in EE for $400.00!!!!

I thought the BAC was supposed to eliminate this effect? Both eyes open, Floating chevron on target, switch to looking through the ACOG adjust and engage. Isn't that how it works at any magnification? Sure the sheer size will make it slower, but we are talking about an AR10 here. |

That's true, but as magnfication increases and field-of-view decreases, it gets harder and harder to use the optic this way. Then there's the weight issue.
To me, this would be a great optic for a fixed machinegun (as the ELCAN is being used by the US military now). -Troy |
