Why is it that the TA31F seems to be the most popular? What makes it better than say the TA11F?  Thanks Sniper2003

Smaller, lighter, wider field of view, higher cool factor.

Don't forget the cool shorter eye relief.

Hasnt proven to be a problem for me.  Havent hit myself in the eye, and I try to be consistant in how the gun and my head interface.

theres nothing to roll your eyes about over either scope. They are both phenominal. Each has small advantages over the other. I think more people appreciate the small lighter package of the TA31 over the TA11, which is why I believe you see more of them. The eye reilief on a TA31 is not as short as most people make it out to be, and the TA11 is not too large or heavy.

I didn't mean to imply there is a problem being to close to the TA-31.  The eye relief isn't a problem for most, especially for those that shoot NTCH.  Problem with me is I like to hang way back on the stock so it's the TA-11 for me.

Of course I'm not selling my TA-31!

For most people I would absolutely recommend the TA-31, I was just being sarcastic and the lone whiner for those who really need the eye relief.

Good luck trying to buy one, I got lucky finding mine.

Well that's what a 4 or 5 position stock is for
I use the 2nd or 3rd position (5th being fully extended) with TA31.
I traded my TA11 for a TA31F because I like the wider FOV, smaller size and lighter weight of the TA31 variants.

Having owned a TA01C, a TA 45-2, a Reflex, and a TA 31F, I can say for me personnaly the TA 31F is very user friendly.  I can put rounds downrange with the TA 31F very efficiently and more accurately than the other ACOG's I have tried.

I have the TA-31 on a 5.56 and the TA-11 on a 7.65.  New-arguy is right.  Small differences both ways between them.  Smaller weapon, smaller scope was my thinking.  Both or either will serve you well.
