Of course, I know the answwer - it's a matter of personal preference... but humor me, I'd like some feedback from you guys before I drop the bucks.
I already have both an Aimpoint and an Eotech on my carbines, so let's leave those options out.
I'm now looking for the right optic for my service rifle, which has a flat-top upper. I think, since this rifle will be used at longer ranges, say 100yds and up, an ACOG is the way to go, and further, since this isn't to be specifically optimized for QCB, I'm leaning towards the TA01 because I think I'd prefer the crosshairs for distance work, and the reticle is illuminated. I think the USMC choice of the TA01 for their M4 carbines lends support to this as a viable choice. I also think that at longer ranges the dot, triangle, chevron, whatever, might tend to obscure the target where a crosshair wouldn't. Opinions?
