For an M4, which ACOG? > AR Discussions

Posted: 11/23/2009 5:28:45 AM EDT

I am planning on putting an ACOG on an M4 and I am wondering which one.

I am pretty much set on the 4x, so no issue with that.

However, I am not sure about the color. The new green looks great, but I am not sure about the contrast (ie. is it better then the red?).

And I like the new horse shoe style, but is the chevron better?

I am real close to getting the TA31H-G (horse shoe - green).

Whatever you like.

I'm a red guy, and there are more red receptors in your eyes then anything else.

But I doubt that helps with sights as you NEED to see what is beyond the little red thingy.

TA01NSN or TA31RCO-M4CP

you say *M4* but what barrel length do you have?

if you have a 14.5" get the TA31RCO-M4. if you have a 16" then you will want the TA31F

i picked this up a while back.......

1: The width of the TA31F chevron represents 19 inches at 300m.

2: The BDC of the TA31F is not based on the trajectory of a 14.4 inch or a 20 inch barrel- it is based on 62 grain bullet exiting a muzzle at 3050 ft/sec (about a 16 inch barrel).

3: The TA31RCO-M4 (USMC RCO, carbine version) and the RCO-M150 (US Army RCO) both have their BDCs based on the trajectory of a 62 gr bullet from a 14.5 inch barrel.

The NSN is a regular cross hair set up and it not colored.
Not sure on the RCO.

I vote TA31F with the Red Chevron.

I have a 4 power red chevron on my Les Baer Thunder Ranch which kicks ass but the reason that they make so many different models is because most people don't have the same taste. I believe that all acogs are very capable tools and the key is to practice with what you get.

Before you get a 4x ACOG make sure that you're ok with 1.5" of eye relief. Many many shooters are not. The TA11 may be a better choice.

My last unit exclusively issued TA31F. When I built my M4gery, it was my first addition.

ETA: I'd post pics, but it's in the middle of a Form 1 so it's getting some work done.
