No, I wont turn dowm an M4 AP. I am half dumb on most days but NOT half stupid so...
Yes, the compacts give up a few things to get a few in return. The narrow FOV of the TA33 is both a good and bad thing IMO. For me its "good" when Im trying to go BAC with the ACOG. The more narrow FOV helps me do this easier with the 33 then with the full sized 31. But I can see how it (small FOV) could be a "bad" thing if you are eyes on a building looking for threats to pop out the window for example.
I still havent pulled the trigger on any new optic yet. Im still waiting for more information regarding our mission (there have been some changes) to trickle down my way before I tax the debit card. We shall see. Thank you for taking the time to respond. It means alot.

Thank you, sir. As far as WANT goes... The optic choices I have posted about in this thread all qualify as WANT. As more information regarding our mission is learned it will narrow the field down some to more of a NEED Im sure. As far as price point--$800.00 max and that must include the mount. Thank you again.

The only Accupoints I saw while in Iraq were on Navy EOD M14EBRs. It was a sexy rig and the fiber optics make the amber chevron obnoxiosly bright. I'm sure you realize that mounting it will be an issue. What weapon system are you going to be using? For an M4-I like the TA01NSN and for an M14/M21 I like a Leupold Mark 4 3.5-10x40 TMR FFP. I sure hope you get to use it, either way. Good hunting!

Chris,
Roger that about the TR21. I didnt go that way (or the MRT for that matter) for fear of mounting problems on my M4. I would have used the LaRue SPR/E so ER wouldnt have been a problem but I have to run a PAQ4 on the front of my rail and I didnt want to risk the optic not clearing it when mounted.
I have since pulled in two ACOGs to serve me over in the box. First is a TA47 2X20 compact w/an amber triangle reticle. Second is a TA31F 4X32 ACOG (both in LaRue mounts). I will also have my M68 so if one of these dont get it done...
Thanks for replying and for your advice. Stay safe over there, brother!
Yak
