Thanks for the info. What's causing you to run from the ACOGs?

Don't get me wrong I think they are great but I think they are a compromise - not really fast for in close, not really precise for far away. They do everything fairly well but aren't great at any one thing.
I have been using one form or another on a 5.56 for 3 gun for 3 yrs. I have on many ocassions used a donut out to 650 - so I am fairly familiar with what they can and can not do.
In low light, no light, fog - the trit can be overwhelming for a precise shot at a distance - an adj lit ret would be better.
Ranging doesn't work / work well with most models in low light, no light, fog - in fact most mods don't have trit beyond 300 yrd stadia and again it can be overpowering.
Coin slot adj turrets
Forced 100 yrd zero
No butler creeks - sounds like a small bitch (and it is) none the less it is not so much when you're stomping through the snow, rain, and mud and go to pull up only to have water and mud on the rear obj.
And most of all - given the options that are out there or that are headed our way soon - for about the same price point, an ACOG is yesterday's option - there is a better way.
YMMV
Good luck
Really looking forward to hearing about the new NF.......
