Nose to the charging handle .... never had a problem
Eye near the Acog ... haven't had a problem (haven't put an Acog on my FAL though, bit more recoil  )

Quoted:
I have an opportunity to buy a TA31F-G at a great price and I've always wanted an ACOG. However, I've been reading various forums and the number one complaint for this model is the lack of eye relief. Unfortunately, I live in San Francisco and I have never seen an ACOG in real life at any local stores, nor have I ever run across someone at a range who had one mounted. So, I wanted to post here to get people's thoughts on how big of an issue this is. Are people regularly injuring themselves as a result of this, or is it just a matter of personal preference? Or something in-between? Any insight appreciated. Thanks! The ACOG junkies will tell you to go with a TA11. It is only 3.5x magnification and has more eye relief than the TA31. 2.39 in of eye relief vs. 1.5 in. |

Eye relief is horrible, I've had an TA01, TA01NSN, and a TA31F, got rid of all of them cause I just couldn't get used to that 1.5" eye relief.

If you don't shoot ntch and you want a flip down rear buis behind it it's going to be difficult.

TA11 or 33 and you won't have any complaints. All the 4x models, you have to be very close.

I run a TA31H on my 6.8 and it doesn't bother me because I shoot Nose to CH. I run a Magpul MBUS under mine with no problems. I could understand how people would like more eye relief though.

BAC works much better for me with the ER of an 11 versus a 31. YMMV.

Comparatively....with regards to eye socket molestation....
TA31: Eye Relief = 1.5" Exit Pupil = 8mm TA11: Eye Relief = 2.4" Exit Pupil = 10mm TA33: Eye Relief = 1.9" Exit Pupil = 10mm |

That about sums it up. I've ben running a TA31F for months and never had a problem, but I could definitely understand the point. |

If you have an A2 stock, it may be a problem with a 4x32 ACOG, but then you could always remove the BUIS and mount the ACOG all the way back, or you can get a LaRue RCO mount.
If you have a collapsible stock, it makes all the difference. All the way collapsed, it's about perfect for me (with SOPMOD stocks). These days I shoot with the stock completely collapsed whether I have a 4x32 ACOG, Aimpoint or EOTech on it. |
