A few more thoughts: If I knew I’d only be using my rifle from point blank to 200 yards, I’d say my EOTech would be great. Maybe even quicker under 100 yards with no magnification.

But from 100 to 600 yards, the Trijicon would win hands-down, no comparison. Zero. None.

And up close, there are those who say that the Trijoon acts like an “occluded eye gunsight” while you are swinging onto the target with both eyes open. That is, the left eye sees the target, the right eye sees that BRIGHT orange triangle. As you put them together and steady on target, the right eye comes into focus, and there you are, on target. I have not had a chance to test this (no free range gravel pits nearby) but it sounds like it would work.

Both are damn fine sights, but the Trijicon ACOG is hands down better.

Put a brake/comp in front, and you would have a seriously deadly off-hand running-around-and-shooting killer carbine.

Self ping to lurk and learn....

Thanks for the ping!

[humblegunner]

By the way, the Mosin Nagant fired just fine.
I love it!

[Pox]

I just received my TA31RCO-M4CP for my Daniel Defense M4v3 and can't wait to get out to the range to try it out!

[Pavegunner72]

I’m not sure the Tijicon has BDC built in to that reticle?

Am I wrong? EOT’s do.

[Eaker]

Good review Matt.

Informative yet simple enough for humblegunner to understand parts of it!

[MileHi]

But the 5.56 sucks!!! Or not...

Wish I could try an ACOG. I figure the EOtech on my M4gery is a 200-250 yard low light gun. Folding irons add options. That will work around here, other options if I have to leave.

Thanks!

I’ve tried both and agree with your evaluation. I’ve been looking at the Leupold Mark 4 CQ/T. I’ve looked through them but never shot ‘em. They seem like they might be best of both worlds, tube red dot like the aimpoint and 3X magnification.

You can have my Trijicon when you pry it from my cold dead hands. Great optic!

I havn’t tried out my theory...but I think the ideal M4gery would be a carbon fiber jobby from bushmaster with an oil filled recoil spring/plunger gizmo. Add light weight to the low recoil concept!

[Squantos]

Told ya......:o)

The eotech shines in transition from bright sunlight to darkened room. Minute of torso is fine for the eotech when clearng structures yet my TA31D with the Docter on top is my favorite.....

Very fast for 3 gun.

maybe next year...

Travis has been having fun, methinks. $:-)

BUMP!

[Jack Black]

Thanks! That’s news I can use. One of these days I’ll break down and buy a .223. My last rifle was a Remington .270 and I’m still enjoying the hell out of it.

Though I would agree that for accuracy, those with the circle type reticle and small MOA dot are more accurate, I (personally) find Aimpoint much faster to get on target than Trij and Eotech. All three companies make superb glass.

A lot depends on personal preference and what the rifle is being used for. For example, if it's not intended to hit anything past 100 meters (CQB, LEO applications etc.) speed is at a higher premium than accuracy, so a 4 MOA dot makes more sense. 1/4 inch one way or the other from center mass won't normally make much difference in a close-in suburban/urban environment.

Another thing I like about the Aimpoint is battery life. It doesn't get any better than 18,000 hours, as is the case with my Comp M3.

Impressions: the Trijicon is the finest sight I've ever shot on a combat carbine, period. Bar none. Better by far than my EOTech, Aimpoints (4 minute of angle red dots) and various other optical and electronic sights I have used.

Have you ever used an Armson OEG or a Singlepoint? Or a TriLux SUIT?
