Trijiicon ACOG 4x32 TA01B

[CoGirl303]

I don't know too much about optics, but several people have told me the Trijicon ACOG's are the premier scope for the AR-15. This is the one I am looking at for my S&W M&P Sport II.

Can anyone list the pro's and con's of these types of scopes?

All I know is that they are virtually indestructible, waterproof, won't lose their set sight if jarred or dropped, don't require batteries and are highly accurate.

thank you!

The only thing I don't like about mine is the fixed power. Offset back-up sights are an option. Otherwise great choice.

4X32 ACOGs have limited eye relief. About 1.5 inches. But in return you get a great field of view. I love my ACOGs.

when you say limited eye relief, what do you mean?

Eye relief is the distance from the rear lens your eye requires to see a full picture. On an 4x32 ACOG you have to get pretty close.

Irrelevant when shooting .223 with such little recoil.
Makes a difference on heavy kicking rifles that may pop you in the eyebrow if you are too close to the scope.

ACOGs are great scopes

My only caveat warning would be to check the BDC reticle drop graduations against your actual drop. They tend to be graduated for sea level conditions and likely won’t match up here.

I read your intro post and saw your AR. Without derailing this thread, may I suggest a Sure Fire type light for darkness shooting as a higher priority than an optics. I always fear I may accidentally fire on someone who is a friend or loved one. Best of luck in your accessorizing your AR.

The one you linked is for .308 / 7.62x51. Your ranging marks and POI will be way off with .223 / 5.56x45.
