norbs007 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 A lot of things are being said about 1-4x scopes for 3-gun. I currently use a TA11 for Tactical and currently finishing up an Open rifle. Will it be wise to use the ACOG on the Open and replace it with a variable 1-4x for Tactical; or is it better to use an ACOG on both to keep it simple? Thanks in advance.

Bear1142 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Norbs007, In my subjective opinion, I would dump the ACOG and go with the 1-4. Regardless of which scope you decide on, keep the same on both rifles. You want as much consistency in your technique and your equipment as possible.

uscbigdawg Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I have to agree with Erik on this one. I ran a TA01NSN this weekend and it worked great. Of course the JPoint on the side helped. I finally got to look at a Meopta and man that's about the perfect scope. 1-4x, 2-3 MOA dot, two little and one 6 o'clock stadia. The dot doesn't zoom up with the magnification. The only problem heard with it is mounting is a little weird (have to get probably a Larue base) and Cy had some problems with the dot size. So once I get some more info on how it does at distance, I might be switching from the trusty TA-11 that's on my rifle back home to it when I get back.

norbs007 Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 Sounds great guys! I was actually looking for a Meopta. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiking Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I use the Meopta on one of my AR's. It's among the very best options out there. The only scope that's better is the Zeiss Variopoint 1-4 as it has a smaller dot. Personally I find the K-dot a little bit too big to be optimal.

.40AET Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 What about a 2.5-10x and a dot on the side? I'm working on an open rifle for next year. I thought the exra power on the variable would be helpful at distance. I seem to be confused once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear1142 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Extra power on a scope doesn't make you a better shooter. If you can't hit it on 4X you probably won't hit it on 10X. If fact, it will make it harder to hit because your natural body oscillation will be magnified and it will be more difficult to settle on the target.

.40AET Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Thanks Erik. For the first time in shooting history, I might be able to save some money. I'll stick witht the 1-4. I was kinda hoping that it might help my shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellyn Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I would go with the ACOG and a JPoint for the Open rifle and a 1-4X on the Tactical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbs007 Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 I would go with the ACOG and a JPoint for the Open rifle and a 1-4X on the Tactical. You read my mind! I'm using a Docter on the side though. Now if I can only find a good deal on a Meopta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M118LR Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I use the Meopta K-dot scope on a Laure scope mount. The optic is CRYSTAL clear. I also have a ACOG with the JP Point on it. Either one should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malak Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Meoptas ROCK! I just got one, and I don't think it gets much better for 3gun. 4x is PLENTY of magnification, since you don't normally need to see your holes at 300 yards (or 200 for that matter) 4x is plenty. If I can hit a larue at 1000yards with 10x, and I am no Terry Cross, then 4x at 300yards should be more than enough. The 1x on the Meopta is the best looking 1x that I have seen. Most "1x" scopes have way more distortion IMHO. Call Benny if you want a Meopta, he sells them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
