I see some info on them around but no really good reviews.
Does anyone have any experience with them? I have a TA33 and have had a TA11 and TA44 ACOG in the past but this thing intrigues me. How horrible is the eye relief if I shoot NTCH? |

Quoted:
From everything I have read its a TA02 in different clothes. Its made for NTCH. I should be fine there then at least. The main differences I see are: 1) The BCO came out before the TA02 2) The automatic light sensor works with the light at the target vs having to turn a dial with the TA02 but the BCO can be manually adjusted for NV use 3) Titanium housing (not sure how valuable that really is) 4) The flip cap setup is a bit easier on the BCO than the TA02 5) The BCO has an auto-off feature (unsure how much I like that) 6) CR123A vs AA (I don't care either way as they will both be lithium batteries) |

It's very similar to the TA31 ACOG but it has a lot of improvements such as:
- better glass w/ no weak spot in the view - huge improvement in illumination - actual working self-adjusting reticle brightness control - available in blue color illumination that guy who design it worked for Trijicon for 16 years. Oh, Browe just released a cheaper aluminum housing version with fix picatinny base. |

I spoke with Brian Browe on the phone about the blue vs green and he said it is mainly personal preference but the request came from a military unit a few years ago for blue.
I decided that I like the green horseshoe in my TA33 so I bought 2 of the BCO's with green horseshoe's. Hopefully I like them as that is a chunk of change  Brian also said that it would be about $50-$100 to change colors if I wanted to which isn't too bad and that most of that was just for labor.
