Sometimes you have to run an ACOG

I still am very fond of my ACOG guns despite other the new cool LPVO’s and RDs on the market. Ran this one out from 100 to 750 with great success.

Slick rig. That’ll work!

After trying five different ACOGS that 3.5x is by far my favorite. Decent field of view and great eye relief. I’ve got one in 5.56 and 7.62.

Agreed the eye relief is so much better and the reticle goes to 800 vs 600 I think. I really wish I had the monster 6 power like the military used. The brits or canucks used. Can’t remember which one.

I like the stick tied to the mat for your bipod feet. Great idea. I think Im gonna try that.

Yea it’s great. Utilized most of the time. You can use wooden dowel rod or PVC pipe. We have used both.

OOoooooh. Is that the Danish Police upper? I don’t think you’ve ever posted pics of that. :stuck_out_tongue:

here goes Sinister

VERY nice!

Oh man, a good one PB!

Thanks for sharing PB, please tell me about the level that you have mounted and do you feel it is helpful enough if I normally shoot out to 400 or more useful beyond that distance?

Inside 500 yards I wouldn’t be too concerned about rifle cant. I would skip it the level and bang away. I run US Optics levels. And prefer the folders. PB

Depends on the bullet flight/arc. You can chase your ass at 1000 yards if there’s a different cant on the rifle for each shot.

When we have buddies out to shoot with us, Pappabear is the trigger slap Nazi, and I’m the Scope level Nazi. I told a guy I was just going to put tape over his level since he refused to check it and it was driving me nuts to watch it not centered.

3.5x55 ACOGs have the most forgiving eye relief out of them all! I personally prefer the LED versions of the 3.5 and 4x32. User adjustable brightness and if you’re lucky, you don’t realize you set it on its brightest setting and get a free LASIK procedure.

The TA648 no thanks at 37 oz and 3K retail.

The LMT MWS already weight 97 lbs. so the weight isn’t an issue, but 3k for a COG would be troubling.

It’s like putting a 1911 on top of your handy MWS, what’s not to like. I have never chased military rifle clones, but I would like to shoot one and see how it performed but for the $$$$ it ain’t going to happen. I also wonder with the 3 ft over bore, how useful that RDS they used would work.

A lot of shit out there I would like someone else to buy and let me play with. Kinda like a boat.

PappaBear - as someone who likes to load my bipod that stick tied to your shooting mat is absolute genius.:slight_smile:

I don’t know which of us came up with it. We started with PVC at one point I think. But this goofy stick (which is the closed dowel for hanging clothes) has been working for a long time.

I got to handle the British LMT with Acog back in the day. Never got to use it, but we did some shared ranges with the Brits. The L129 designation, IIRC.

Anyways, as noted…it was a pig. Mk11 gang for life. I preferred the variable power optics all day every day, but you do you.
