mrspock Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I am just starting to shoot 3-gun (either Tactical or Open) and I need to choose an optic for my AR.. Where I live, 90% of the rifle shots are <100 yds with a rare 200 yd shot. I was looking at either a TA11 ACOG or one of the popular 1-4x variable scopes (Meopta, Burris, Valdata, et...) and would appreciate any advice on the subject..

My son has had two different acogs and the 4x32 is by far the best if you are shooting less than 100 yards. He has since gone to a var Leupold specifically because the longer shots outstretched the acog, but he has shot 300+ in some instances and the power just wasn't there.

Mike P Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 If ALL you are going to shoot is 200 and in, try an Aimpoint with a 2 minute dot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory_k Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 go with a 1-4x scope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidwiz Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 If you get an ACOG, you can get a cover for the front lens that allows you to hose close targets, if you are concerned about getting a higher fixed power scope. I have been using the above-referenced cover on my TA11 for about 4 years w/o any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
