Donut of death or the Chevron of carnage

You didn't mention what the application was. I've got a donut, but I'd prefer the chevron. IMHO, donut=faster, chevron=more precise. |

not to hijack but WTH can you actually order an ACOG that isn't backordered until the next millenium?
I vote Chevron but you can hardly go wrong either way, no? |

No kidding - it took me 4+ months to get one from Trijicon. And I prefer the donut.

TA-31 with the donut seems most popular.
If you want issue, get an NSN. Check the optics forum in the AR-15 forum. Huge run down but the TA-31 always seems to come out on top. |

I had the TA31 and TA31-A
It's preferance but I like the triangle reticle of the A the best. Edited to add, you're not going to go wrong with any of the listed choices! |

After careful thought and consideration (not to mention quite a bit of input from "those in the know" here on ARFCOM), I selected the plain 'ole TA31 "Donut Of Death" ACOG for my multi/general purpose needs.
The TA31 does not come with a mount. Trijicon sells the TA51 mount, but I went ahead and bought the ARMS 19S. Heck of a mount for a fair price. |

Your biggest issue will be finding one in stock..... depending on the config you choose.
Depending on how much money you are talking about.... a TA31, with ARMS-or-Larue ACOG flattop mount, and a ARMS 40L BUIS, will run over $1100. I like donuts.... but havent spent enough time behind one to really be sure. I think as this gift is concerned.... not knowing it's intended use.... even the TA01NSN would be a great optic. If time is of the essense, EAGLEFIREARMS has the NSN with mount and built in BUIS, for $849. If you want the details.... www.trijicon.com/user/parts/parts_new.cfm?categoryID=3 |
