Are there any locations in Central Jersey where i can test out or even just look at optics before purchasing??? I'm looking for Trijicon ACOGs in particular.
Thanks!! |

Thanks for the offers to allow me to test out your optics, but I just don't think i'm going to have the time to do it and i need to order this thing fairly soon, most likely this week.
I've basically narrowed it down to two sights. TA31F Weight 14.7 oz FOV 36.8 ft Eye Relief 1.5 inches TA11F Weight 18.5 oz FOV 28.9 ft Eye Relief 2.4 inches Now, the weight doesn't bother me much, however the eye relief does. Some people say 1.5 is too close and some say it's not an issue at all. Has anyone here actually shot with both and felt the difference? .5x loss of magnification is insignificant. Your help is greatly appreciated!! PS: I'm also going to post this over in the optics section to get some responses. I had one thread going, but it was a broad topic. |
People that complain about the TA31's 1.5 inches of eye relief simply shoot wrong. There I said it!  Nose To Charging Handle is the proper form to shoot AR's, and the TA31 follows that shooting form perfectly.
EDIT: If you're looking to shoot tiny groups the ACOG isn't for you. It's very difficult, even when you put tape of the fiber optic tube. It's meant to be a quick, down 'n dirty scope that allows a user with often minimal training to obtain COM hits in a rapid fashion. Quoted:
