As for an ACOG, I take it you don't mind spending 3X more on optics than on the rifle? Low end ACOGs are pricey with the high end ones selling for upwards of $1400. Just for the optics. Yeah... prices have really gone up on those. I'll probably just get the Aimpoint.

Supply and demand. Wait until after Iraq is over and the price should come down considerably.

You may wanna check out EOTech for a sight. For about $250, you can pick up a good one.

EOTech is way better than an Aimpoint. Much better unrestricted field of view, and the circle/dot reticle is MUCH faster than the single dot of the Aimpoint. Aimpoint is 25 year old technology, EOTech is state of the art for 1X mag sighting. Nothing is faster for multiple moving targets, nothing.

I'll probably just get the Aimpoint. Consider the Trijicon Reflex II sight with the 12 MOA triangular reticle. You can either use the large reticle for rapid target acquisition up close or use the upper tip of the triangle as a precision aiming point for distance work.

Re the ACOGs, the military has just made a huge buy on them (Marines @ 40 or 50K!). Don't look for the price to come down any time soon.
Top sends.
