Lets see the firearm collection.....

[Sloppy Joe2]

Im thinking Aimpoint if your going with an Army style 16A4, or acog if marine style. Im a fan of the marines myself, but as you know Im a broke ass, haha. So Im thinking aimpoint, or EoTech for now

what an ignorant statement.

Ignorant question, what is an acog worth?

Ignorant question, what is an acog worth?

About $800-$1700 depending on which one you get. I got mine with fiberoptic and a doctor red dot sight on top for $1200. Although in hindsight I would have gotten a non-fiberoptic version. They're cheaper and I like their functioning better both during the day and at night.

No they do, its just what units are issued a majority of. There are units that are free to whatever optics, but some are specific on what they can use. The army tends to have aimpoints as the issued optic and the Marines tend to have specific Acogs. Ive got a few friends in the Marines and they are issued Acogs and its that or Iron sights. (which seems odd to me, but thats how it goes)

In country my Company had about half ACOGs and half M68s(aimpoints). Unfortunately we had to give most of our ACOGs to our replacing unit. But ACOGs aren't at all hard to find in Infantry Companies in the Army. I know that the Marines go solely ACOG but that doesn't make the ACOG a Marine thing.

I like ACOGs, I just got one for my latest AR .....





and went with an EoTech for my AK ....



As a matter of fact I use all 3 types of sights, Aimpoints, Eotechs and Acogs with my rifles.

Thats not what I was implying Ive seen them in both branches. The Army issues both aimpoints and the acog that I am aware of. And the Marines are partial to the Acog. As am I and if I could afford one I'd have one.

When I replied to 40 minute's question it was more of an inside joke between friends. Not a statement of fact, for that I apologize. It was just me giving Dan a hard time, and I assure you it goes both ways. I was saying whichever way he goes it was a lean towards either branch of which we have friends serving in and it is a debate between them which is better (both optics and branch) My bad



On a different note, Nice collection JVeld. Im jealous

[Flea NL]

@ notoo7 & JVeld,

nice collections !!

[wildcat]

I am partial to the ACOGs myself. Last I heard the US Army has purchased TA01, NSN and M150 RCO (TA31F-RCO).

I am too a big fan off the acogs.

Buy the way nice collections, thanks for sharing

Well, i will never be able to afford an acog, so, i'll just look here.

The pictures reinforce why this is my favorite thread.

You speaketh the truthe.

I picked up a Ta31F for $660 on EGay. The pawnshop selling it misidentified it, said it had a triangular reticle without giving the model number. When I open the box I see a chevron reticle on brand new 2007 production TA31F scope.

Nice find. ^^^

I just finished building another retro AR clone - a transitional 723. It's very light and nicely balanced. I'm looking forward to a trip to the range.
