I'm thinking about getting a ACOG TA11 C or E for my Armalite carbine (308) What's the difference between the ARMS 10 mount & the ARMS 19s & what one is "better" |

The 19S is the current mount of choice [;)]. If you do a search there are a million threads discussing it. Here's one with a few pics: [url]http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=18&t=169330&w=searchPop[/url] If I remember, the ARMS #10 uses the thumb nuts to mount and not the throw levers. Most people (me included) like the throw levers for the quick detach and return to zero capability. |

The most popular is the 19S ACOG single throw lever. They list for $109.00 [img]http://www.csgunworks.com/product_images/2939.jpg[/img] The 19 ACOG double throw lever is a good way to also go. They list for $150.00 [img]http://www.csgunworks.com/product_images/2940.jpg[/img] You will like the ARMS 19 mounts. If you were to go with a thumbnuts to mount just go with the TA51 it's cheaper.

| The 19S mounts the TA11 a TINY bit (.125") too high. It is a minor annoyance but you should be aware none the less. Its enough for me to consider the TA31 better than the TA11 I have been using because I like the 19S mount so much. For an AR10 the TA31 is out of the question though. Mount height vs quick detatch will be a decision for you to make for yourself. |

The donut is a faster and brighter over the chevron reticle. I like both and have used them. The chevron is nice for the more precision shots. The TA11E are hard to get a hold of. We have 2 that are coming to us. The real question is, what do you really want? Are you willing to wait for it? You can go to our web sight and click their images to enlarge them and it will give you more info. [url]www.csgunworks.com[/url] |
| I have used all the reticles save the weird traingle circle reticle. The TA11 on my rifle at the moment is triangle reticel and 19S. Its too high and hard to use BAC style. The donut is the only reticle where the BAC is easy and natural for me. Donut is not quite as easy to get sub MOA 200 yard groups with but for general use the donut is better. If you dont need super accuracy get the donut and 19S if you want more accuracy and lack speed get a lower mount thats not QD and the chevron reticle. |
| Yeah, yeah one day I will. For now I will just go with my contacts. So you noticed how picky I am on optic placement eh? My back ground is bolt guns growing up hunting and I was always taught you should close your eyes shoulder the rifle and open your eyes after a solid cheek weld. The optic should be in the perfect position and you should not have to adjust. To me there is no perfect optic out there yet for the AR platform. They all have some nit picky issue for me. I will be swapping the TA11 for a TA31 shortly. I think it would be ironic if I end up with the TA31 as a favored optic since I have been a champion of the TA11 for so long. |
