What's /k/'s opinion on Acogs? I've always been

I love mine. The miniscule eye relief means it's impossible the have both buis and a comfortable cheek weld. It's crisp and precise enough to plink NRA rams at 550yds.
In all honesty, though, it's a gucci item because it's expensive for what you get. I only bought mine to complete my A4gery

i have one of the cheep chinese airshit ones.
Its not too bad for being 1/10th the price of a real one.
but you wont find me spending 1k on one.
im not going to war and dont care about the overly rugged aspect.

You're welcom

>>35099777
and btw that kinda looks like a knockoff one in your pic.

>>35099777
Sold mine and got an aimpoint.
Im not in the military and I can afford batteries and the tritium gets washed out when aiming from indoors to outdoors during daytime

>the tritium gets washed out when aiming from indoors to outdoors during daytime
Yea, this is why I didn't buy an M21 for my AUG. Incredibly annoying. That said, isn't the light gathering on the ACOG ridiculously sensitive?

The etched reticle is still there under those circumstances

>>35099856
Yes that's why you always see the tube taped 7/8 by electric tape.

I think they're fine if you want a fixed power optics. The combination of tritium inserts for low-light and fibre optic for daylight conditions was very innovative for its time, but the lack of factory-installed brightness controls for the fibre optic is kind of disappointing. Their newer variable magnification, battery-powered optics seem like a step up.

Right, so how does the reticle fair with spill light into a room or even electric lighting?

Far as I can tell it does fine. I personally never had issues, but I also never left mine untaped.

I have a trijicon that I finally put on a worthy rifle after it sat for a few years.

Needs a good day at the range for be to get used to it.

Bought an ACOG before deployment, in lieu of my issued M68.

Literally no regrets.

>>35099827

>airshit link

99% of people who say ACOG is shit can't afford one

>>35099827
Definite shitty knockoffs even the comments say so. So thanks for the shit link.

>>35099777
Many optics these days are hard as fuck, so that's not unique to the ACOG. look up for freeze and torture test

I had an RMR08G dual illuminated green triangle.

I didn't believe the washout when shooting dark to light meme.

Literally couldn't even sight it in at my Range with a covered bench.

By that same token, my buddy and I sighted in his TA31 just fine, and it remained a dull red glow even in the big lighting contrast of the covered bench. We were also self spotting hits at 100y on a shoot and see. I was impressed for a 4x optic.

I don't really know why the eye relief is so overblown. I have always shot nose to charging handle, and with the ACOG in front of a Griffin Armament KAC 300m ripoff it sat in a perfect position. Trijicon says 1.5" IIRC, but I don't know how they measure this, because I'd say my eye is more like 2.5" (wow big deal -- but actually... that's the difference between perfectly reasonable and actual shit) and I didn't notice being challenged to get a correct head placement.
