I have a TA01 ACOG site on my ‘sport utility rifle.’ I see why our forces are in love with them. Target acquisition is very fast and it has just enough magnification for identifying targets at range. Never needing to change batteries while have a VERY bright recticle is a huge advantage.

Dear FReepers,
Over the years, a vanity post listing favorite sidearms, long guns and hunting rifles has appearred on FR with predictable regularity. Considering the highly popular and enthusiastic responses, I'd like to learn more from the sophisticated shooters on this forum about optics that you might bet your life on.

Are many of you using ACOG, Trijicon, night vision, or infrared riflescopes? After seeing our Marines using the CQB sights that had various Bible verses listed upon them, I decided to learn more. I'm happy to report to you that our troops are getting wonderful optics packages, which are made right here in the good ol’ USA.

I would like to politely remind all Freepers that Pelosi’s/Clinton's/Reno/Obama’s BATF/FBI/Homeland Insecurity also read all comments about all “gun and high-powered ammo” threads equally “regularly” - if not actually starting such threads to read all about “who” voluntarily boasts about “what” is bought “where” and “when”.

If I was going to spend 700+ on an optic, the ACOG would be a first choice. I've only had the chance to look through one, mounted to the shop owner's AR, but it was the clearest sight picture I've ever seen. The red triangle was just the right brightness, no matter the lighting, and the optics seemed sharper than my eyesight. It would be excellent for dusk and dawn hunting, too.

I'd like to get a look through one of the Trijicon Accupoint variable-power scopes, I'll bet they're excellent, too. Haven't read any online buyer's complaints about Trijicon . Five-star rated.

‘sport utility rifle.’

That is my favorite term for those rifles – it's descriptive and it most likely pisses off the eco-oppressive socialists, a win-win all around.

I just wanted so say that so that I would have a nice ping for this discussion.
