I just this week got a new 6920 after playing around with other makers and I'm wanting to put an ACOG on it. The maximum distance I plan on shooting will be around 300yds. and down to 25yds. This will be for personal use (ie, SHTF/plinking). I've narrowed it down (after 2-3 hours on Trijicon's website learning the differences!) to these four....
1) TA11F
2) TA31F
3) TA31RCO-M150CP (the new ARMY version)
4) TA31RCO-M4CP (the new USMC version)

My questions....What reticle do you guys prefer and why? I believe I like the chevron the best, hence my choices above.
I know about the differences in the eye relief between the 3.5 & 4 power models. Which do you prefer and why?
Thanks!:)

I am currently running a TA31F on my LMT M4. I have not had any issues with the eye relief, although some do. I would say find a place that stocksboth the TA31 and TA11 and try them out. You can't go wrong with either.

I assume you like the chevron reticle too? What about room under the sight for a BUIS? I'm going to be using a LaRue mount on this ACOG and would like the BUIS for the sake of having it.

I have a TA31F and a couple of the TA31A's.....I like either
For buis under my ACOGs I use the KAC 300 meter sight.
I believe it is the lowest buis available.

I prefer the 31F  I own 2 of them and a 31.

#3 is for a rifle.
#4 is the same as a 31F with mil lines for adjusting arty/mortar fire.  Unless you are a Forward Observer, I doubt you need that.

What do you call a 6920?

What he means is that one is for a carbine length barrel and the other is for a rifle length barrel. Most people say the BDC is the same in both. I not totally convinced of that, but you never know.  Don't mean to hijack, but any body with both notice a slight difference in the BDC between the two.

Well the 6920 is similar to the M4 Carbine.

The M1 was a Carbine, the M2 was a full auto version of that Carbine, and the M3 was that carbine with a special optic.  If the M4 had not been a carbine it would have been called M17Rifle or something.
