Just got a TA11F (3.5x) and have shot with it twice.  Today was in the rain, so not ideal conditions.  With a 16" Spikes carbine and PMC XTAC I was getting approx 4.7" groups at 100 yards.  The reticle is the chevron.  How is this for this type of optic?  This is better for me than my 4 MOA Aimpoint.  I am not a very good shot, so if you do better, it would not surprise me.  Just trying to figure out where I should be.  I understand M193 type ammo is usually 3-4 MOA.  If that's the case, I would say my groups are fairly decent, but I would also expect them to open up some at 200 yards.

ETA - sitting at the range provided table and resting the handguard on my range bag.

I think you're doing alright. Below are pics are of my Rock River Arms 16" using a TA11 (3.5x) with the green donut reticle at 175 yards. This is with cheap Wolf ammo. I popped shots and couldn't tell if I was hitting anything until I walked up and collected the targets.









I didn't keep track of my group size or anything like that, but my targets were CD cases which are 5-1/2" x 5".  I believe I fired 8-10 shot, but it has been a while. I am convinced that you can achieve head shots at 200 yards with a TA11. I have yet to shoot at farther ranges with it though.

With that ammo you're doing just fine.

I agree that you are doing pretty good. I have a TA31RCOA4 and even with my reloads I don't do much better than 2 moa on a good day.

I cant wait to get mine and mount it on my Colt LE6940p and try it. How do you like it so far? Try some American Eagle .223bt 55 grain and watch how much tighter your group will be. Let me know? I'm really interested in that scope.  Good Luck!

Thats just fine for M193. Is your barrel 1-7,1-9, something else?

I love Acog's, for their durability and provenance, but I have never been particularly accurate with them. I am spoiled by magnification.

Center mass on a man sized target. You're doing just fine.
