    Default Tan ACOGs-- are they being fielded?

    Are any of the dark earth ACOGs being used by any US Military unit in Iraq and/or Afghanistan at present? thanks.

    No, but they do have some quite fetching pink ones in service overseas. Oh wait, I've said too much......

    Its classified. If I told ya, I'd have to dress you up like a goat, and give you over to the Taliban with a note that reads "Compliments of your buddy Barack O. Don't forget to lube up!"

    AKA, WTF does it matter? Some guys have spray painted their ACOGs tan, but for the most part, they aren't.

    A couple people bought personal optics when i was in a-stan, like me. Because well, the CCO sucks. Someone in my company bought a tan one. So there, thats at least one person who was in country who bought one.

    The tan ACOGs are no different than the black ACOGs really. I sold mine because I hated the Docter sight hitting me in the head when I fired.

    You couldn't just take it off and sell the doc?

    I took mine off. Served no purpose really in a-stan for me, all my engagements were at 250 meters+. Also, i really didn't want to take the extra time to zero the doc. Yeah like danger dan said. I had the model in black but was identical to the tan one. Really no difference at all. But, the one i had had a different reticle and range markings compared to the issued ACOG RCO.
