If so, how is it, and how low can it be mounted?
Also, there is a place called ManVenture Outpost that has them for less than the other places, have any of you dealt with them? |

I'm not sure if it's considered a mini acog, but I use a TA33... it's in a Larue mount. Nice and compact. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/74272/IMG-0425-251255.jpg I also have a TA33. I like it a lot. Tiny FOV, but great glass and extremely light. |
| I have a compact ACOG (TA-50) on my trunk rifle. Eye relief is a bit weird, had a LaRue mount for a bit but it never was comfortable. It ended up putting it on a CMMG A1 upper. I drilled a hole 1" behind the exiting carry handle hole and wallah!!! Perfect height, and no more weirdness!! Great optic. Love mine! |

Read that it is very close to using a dot sight, but not dependent on batteries. Is that true? Also, doesn't it have the ability to mount lower than other ACOG's? Quoted:

TA44 in a LaRue mount on my SBR is incredible. Is that true? Also, doesn't it have the ability to mount lower than other ACOG's? It still has the same base the other mini ACOGs have. Â The LaRue mount is a touch lower than other brands but still AR sight height. |

TA33 here. I considered the mini acogs, but the TA33 was light and larger glass, seems plenty easy to pick up quickly, even with both eyes open for me. |
| Had a TA-44, sold it for a TA-11. Nice optic but not right for my use for that particular rifle. It had too much magnification for me. I thought the 1.5x wouldn't be as much as it was. I figured fuck it, if it seems magnified might as well go all out. Incredibly light optic (had it in a Larue mount). |

I use a TA-45 on one of my PS90's, works great and has fantastic eye relief.

Again, this would be for an ARX 100, so it needs to sit about 1" - 1 1/4" from top of rail to center of optic.  ). I got a kram spacer for it.
For an ARX-100 it should feel just right. |

I have a TA-33 and TA-31F
The Eye-relief on the TA-33 is in fact longer than advertised, IMHO 
If you look through a TA-31F right after it, the FOV will feel like a toilet paper tube. The TA-31F's eye relief, not the best, really isn't. It's not horrendous but it isn't great, not gunna lie to you on that 
The TA-33 is stupid light and very small for what it is. Compare it to a 3-9x scope that you would have mostly on 3x. It's little, and it weighs little too. Very durable by all accounts, doesn't need batteries, glass is good, and a magnification you can use. IMHO, pair it with the KAC lightweight offset BUIS set, and it will feel positively space age. Get what you want, but I personally think the micro-ACOGs have their pluses, but if it's that small, you might as well have 0 magnification. The micro-RDS stuff kinda ended my curiosity about the tiny ACOGs. |
Yes, I have one on my Uzi SMG and it is awesome. I have the Trijicon MM04 mount. It is discontinued due to the change in the style of the mini ACOG. It allows you to use the iron sights or ACOG. The 1.5 magnification is perfect. I have 2 of the mini ACOG's. Got one in a trade and the other off of the EE. Damn sure didn't pay full price.

How is that mounted? I'm looking for a good solution for my PS90 that doesn't involve the picatinny rail. Quoted:

I've bought from ManVenture Outpost. Emails says it was some new 45 brass and an ultrasonic cleaner. From email the brass shipped the same day and the ultrasonic took 3 days. |

Yu Tu Lo. Need a proper height mount (or riser rail) for that thing. I also have a TA33. I like it a lot. Tiny FOV, but great glass and extremely light. Quoted:

VITAL-2 master race!

I have a 26S. I don't like it. Enough magnification to be annoying while not enough to be useful. I went with the Vortex Crossfire 1X instead and prefer it. It is heavier, unfortunately. 33/31/11 with a red dot piggyback would be my preferred ACOG set up. |
