eh? I took the sight pic of my TA01NSN in the tacked thread, though not in low light conditions, its amber reticle and it being so fine makes it harder to use than donut, chevron or triangle.

The TA01 and the NSN model are best for long range. Some say it is good for close distances but the main function is long range.

I don't own a NSN model, but I did borrow one from a friend for two weeks (hell of a friend, wouldn't you say?
 ). I ended up buying a TA-01 instead. The red reticle was a lot easier to see at night for me. At the time I bought it there were a few threads about the TA-01 vs. the NSN and it seemed most people preferred the red of the TA-01 to the amber of the TA-01NSN. Of course, YMMV. A lot of people also don't care for the chessy back-up sights on the NSN.Finally, many people (myself included) much prefer an ARMS 19S or LaRue mount instead of the NSN's mount. I didn't want to pay extra for a mount I didn't really like. Last weekend I finally got to shoot my TA-01 at night. It was at a machinegun shoot. Even with some small fires downrange and a flare or two, I could pickup the reticle in complete dark, on a fire (it is then a black reticle again) and even in the shadows near the flames. I wonder how the amber of the NSN would have compared in the shadowy areas close to the flames. Hope this helps some. |

I think i might swing toward the TA01 now.
What are the differences in the TA01 and NSN? Just the amber vs red reticle? Does the TA01 have the POS back up sight? -Tyler |

TA01 has a BDC for 20" 55gr, and I think its meant to be carry handle mountedd. BDC to 800m. TA01-NSN, BDC for 14.5 and M855 to 600m, flat top mounted with TA51 mount and back up ghost ring rear sight and tritium equipped front post. Get the one thats right for your barrel and ammo. |

i prefer the soft amber i guess its just whats best for you. my advice is not to take everyones advice, see if you can find someone with one and ask him to try it. make up your own mind.
with an investment worth this much money i take no ones advice with out myself giving it a test ride my buddy has the red chvron and its too bright for me |

Yeah, I really want to test ride one, but I will probably end up waiting closer to Christmas to get serious about buying and trying out the different models.
Oh, and I have a 14.5" flattop -Tyler |

Duffy, how does the eye relief on that thing work?

The mount has since been replaced by a PRI mount that has more flexibility in mounting positions and height, but even without it the LMT/Crane stock helps with the eye relief issue
The TA01NSN reticle is supposed to be NVG compatible, even so it blooms in the sight picture of the PVS14. Not an idea setup but it'll work in a pinch. |
