I own the 3x amber cross hair unit. I bought it back when they were "affordable". For $800.00 I would consider aquiring a TAO1. That said, I am happy with my mini- ACOG. The mini weighs less if that's important to you? For a hundred more bucks or so, you could have a TA31? I suppose this post hasn't helped you has it? I am assuming you have a carry handle and not a flat top.
Regards, Gary |

you're right on ALL counts. That didn't help.
I have a ta11D, the ta01nsn, tripower, holosight, jpoint, ior 1.1-4x, BTW. I've been through many scopes - I don't even know WHERE I'd put a compact ACOG, but the price is nice and its a packaged with larue mount and killflash..... I hear problems with objective size, e.g. looking through a straw... but those look like quick reticles and perfect magnification levels. |

I dumped my 2x20 and went back to an Aimpoint.

You should be able to find one under $800. I would hope so anyway. I think they are among the best general purpose, low magnification optics you can get. Especially for a fixed carry handle upper. I would probably consider something else for a flat top, but for a A1/A2 upper, Compact ACOG is going to be hard to beat.
2x is my favorite. 1.5x didnt offer me enough magnification over something like an Aimpoint for it to be worth all the extra money, 3x offered too little eye relief for me to want it over a TA31. 2x had generous eye relief and ample magnification to notice the difference between it and a 1x Aimpoint etc. |

I have a 3x model with red crosshairs, and I LOVE it. Eye relief is a bit short, but my M93 stock adjusts for that. Here is an old pic.

I just bought a 2x20 and it looks freakin sweet. Can't wait to get my upper back so I can mount it and put it to work...

+1! TA50-R4 I call it my FRO scope because when I saw his reticle photos in the famous thread, I just had to have one with red crosshairs for my airsoft collection.  $800?  I didn't know the compacts went up in price too like the big Acogs did since the war started. I was going to sell it or the TA01-NSN in the background, but maybe I'll keep the compact now. I have a SN-4 on the way for a new project and desperately need some money! |

You got an SN4? Hope you like lugging a heavy rifle
 I had one just because I wanted something different than an ACOG. I traded it for an SN3, and got a TA31
