| For the sake of conversation, and money was not an issue, which would you choose between and Eotech and an ACOG and why would that be your choice? |
 you cant be serious with that remark. acog and eothingy, comparing apples to oranges. I must be a stubborn douche bag and a half....... meat |

< 50 yards EOTech has the advantage IMHO due to the speed of target acquisition and also you shouldn't need magnification to ID target. Out to 100 they are perhaps on equal footing, with the advantage going to ACOG the greater the distance gets for both accuracy and target ID. take this with a grain of salt though as I have only used an ACOG once, but I do own an EOTech 552. |

I own both, and they are not even close to being comparable. What do you expect to be doing with your weapon? Do you plan to do more close up shooting, say 100yd or less? if so, the eotech would be an excellent choice, and a bit less on the $ too. If you want the ability to still do both eyes open shooting up close, but with a little magnification at distance, go with the ACOG. Two completely different applications, with two completely different goals in mind. Decide what you want to do with your rifle, then pick the optic that best suits that task. |
I would agree. I have both, and have carried both. I think this pretty much sums it up. |
| I as well have both, and the ACOG is great for target ID and being able to see rounds impact to adjust fire. Go with an ACOG and Doctor piggy backed. I got to play with one of the Doctors the other day and was very impressed with it. If it were on a rifle that I was using for home defense, Eotech; Anything else I would go with ACOG. |
An ACOG with a Doc. Red Dot and you've got it. The ACOG costs over 1k, the EoTech costs around 400$, of course people are going to take the ACOG. |
Hemi Cuda I used to think you were a putz, but now...hell...I'd even buy you a beer. Just leave the AR10 at home, mkay?

ACOG It doesn't seem to me like theres a real speed different between the two at close range - and anything 50+ yards there's no contest. The ACOG is absolutely surgical. I don't know why people continue to argue for the EOtech having the upper hand in CQB. When I got my ACOG I was expecting it to be even just a little awkward at across-the-room distances, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that not to be the case at all. The way I see it - if you can shell out the cash, get the Good Stuff. It costs that much for a reason. I sold my EOtech to cushion the financial blow from the ACOG. Although I liked it a lot, I don't miss it. |
I'll wear some lingerie

I have/like Trijicon's Tripower much better than my friend's Eotechs @ similar ranges (under 100yds) And you don't have to worry about batteries & brightness settings unless your using a flashlight. Money is comparable. I like my ACOGS better for longer ranges, but they cost twice as much. |

IME: If you go with the ACOG TA31 or TA31F, you really have to put the time into learning to use the BAC. Some people can't use it at all but I would bet a majority have never learned to do it. A great example would be me. I first tried an ACOG late last year and I couldn't see how the hell it could be fast up close. My eye would want to constantly switch to the magnified view. I shot better with my irons! Then a light bulb went off and I started looking at the target only and then voila... there it was... the donut....I believe in the magic of BAC now. I can switch between either views depending upon the range. I don't have to carry my AAs for my EOTech 512 and I never need to turn it on. The only downside to using BAC is that the distance between my right eye and left eye to the target is different so the POI and POA are slightly off center. I just compensate by aiming a little to the left when shooting up close. The ACOG really deserves all its accolades; it just takes time. |
| eotech is fast and fast is good, moving targets, and ill say they are good to 300m not for id but quick hits. acog is great for longrange, target ID and scouting an area. i would take the acog for the fact its a lot of money but in a real upclose and personal fight(where i usually seem to find myself) ill take my eotech. that being said ive never had to use an acog but ive played with them. |

If you had to have one then ACOG all the way. ACOGs make shooting so much more pleasurable for anything over 10 yards. Even if there is a chance you would have to shoot at less than 10 yards, you can still use the ACOG (with much practice). I have an ACOG TA01NSN and a TLR2 laser for anything less than 10 yards
