| I am doing a Colt Recce build and am torn between a low power scope (Leupold, Nightforce or Schmidt & Bender) or ACOG. I am waiting right now for my stamp to finish my Noveske 10.5 with Eotech so this Recce build will be more for the mid range but I want up close ability too. What are the benefits of the ACOG and Scope over each other depending which one I should go with?? I just cant decide. |

If you want a more versitile optic go with the Nightforce 1-4, thats what the SEALs use currently.

I’ve owned a TA11 ACOG, TA31F ACOG, 1.5X Compact ACOG, Trijicon Reflex, Trijicon TriPower, Leupold CQ/T, Leupold Mark 4 1.5 – 5 x 20, S&B Short Dot LE 1.1 - 4 x 24, Aimpoints and EoTechs with flip magnifiers. While they all have pros and cons, if I could only have one scope for a RECCE build it would be the Short Dot LE.

There is a 800.00 difference between the two. |

There is a 800.00 difference between the two. The one for the extra $800. The reps refer to it as the Short Dot II, while the technical name is the 1.1–4 x 24 Zenith Short Dot LE. |

How does the SB compare with aimpoint for close quarters? I'm a big Aimpoint user. The latest version of the Short Dot is the closest thing to an Aimpoint, at the 1.1X setting with the red dot on, that I've found in a low power variable scope. It's not exactly like using an Aimpoint. You have to concentrate a little more on keeping a consistent cheek weld, but I can easily keep both eyes opened and focused at the same time with the Short Dot. I haven't done any back to back timed shooting with the Short Dot compared to an Aimpoint at CQB distances yet, but that's on The List. |
