Wow! That's a good deal. Had a chance to play with it yet?

Was that the one on eBay you just got?

Yes, this was the one off E-Bay. I was a little worried because of how LOW the price was. I think the guy had someone bidding against me because I lost. He sent me an email and asked if I was still interested and if so he would pay for shipping! I saw him list this on E-Bay a couple of times at around $1000. I figured even at that price it would be good. He also sold a TA11F for about $700. I started to get that, but I already have a TA31 and a TA01NSN. All of my A3’s are 16” and under so the TA55 is mounted, but looks kinda funny on a 16”. I was going to wait for the URX to come out for this project, but I couldn’t pass up the price…SPR?[:p] So far I REALLY like it! NO shots yet. As soon as I got it I came home and posted. I had to tell someone who would understand my JOY! It’s definitely not for a carbine, but that wasn’t Trijicon’s plan for it and it’s not mine either![;)]

IN ADDITION TO BEING A BIG, BRIGHT SCOPE WITH A WIDE FIELD OF VIEW, THE TA55, WHEN DISMOUNTED, IS THE ONLY SCOPE I KNOW THAT COULD BE USED AS AN EFFECTIVE BLUDGEON. AND THE SCOPE WOULD BE NONE THE WORSE FOR WEAR!

I'm glad to hear you didn't have to sell the TA31 to finance the purchase!

Hey Mike,
No, the TA31 is definitely a keeper! Thanks again for the deal. Ray |

I saw it on ebay as well.
IMHO, the size of TA55 is far too big for its magnification (5.5 power). It is larger than a basic hunting scope (3-9x40). The size makes you awkward and clumsy for CQB. For CQB, TA31/TA01 series are the best. For long distance+CQB, Trijicon AccuPoint is the best. |

"Accupoint the Best" [?] [>:/]
Anyway, the TA55 is not for CQB. Yes, it's very big, but it also has A LOT of ++++. For me the price was definitely one of them! [:d] Ray |

IMHO, the size of TA55 is far too big for its magnification (5.5 power). I know it seems out of out of balance, but the size/magnification is PERFECT for what it is. If you ever get the chance to actually use one at distance, you'll know what I mean. The TA55 is so bright and clear, that for use up to 500yds – it is more than sufficiant. (no magazine length 5.56 ammo is really worthy past 500yds.) |
