| The current issue of Leatherneck has a good article about a new program that the Corps has for the I MEF in Iraq. Selected Marines are given a new M16A4 fitted with an ACOG. These riflemen are known as Squad Advanced Marksmen-SAM. The SAMs are given two days of training with the new rig and then sent out to hurt somebody. One Capt. said that his SAMs are getting 6 to 8 kills. The Marines are using the four power ACOG to engage "targets" out to 1,000 meters. The sight seems to be "Marine Proof" and well liked by the SAMs. |

We've bee talking about that ACOG for some time now. Here's a thread that started almost 2 years ago and is still going!!!. It discusses the ACOG in contrast to many of the other popular optics available and in use. www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=18&t=139306 It is an awesome optic being put to great use. |
