I recently got a good deal on an AR-10 with a Trijicon TA-11J ACOG on it. I got the setup for probably about what the optic is worth. It is built on an Aero Precision receiver, Duracoated FDE, with a 16 inch 4150 CMV barrel of about A2 profile and a mid-length gas system on a low profile gas block, sporting a 15 inch Midwest Industries rail. I am already looking forward to hunting with it this coming fall.
The optic is a TA-11J ACOG ( https://www.trijicon.com/na_en/products/product3.php?pid=TA11J-308 ), which is 3.5x with a dual-illuminated crosshair and BDC out to I think 1100 or 1200 optimistic yards. I think it is intended for point targets out to 600 yards with M80 ball in the M14 and primarily area targets with the same round in the M240 beyond that. I intend to get a good zero confirmed that some Federal LC XM80 149 gr FMJBT @ 300 yards. I would like suggestions for an expanding round suitable for deer and black bear from 30 to about 300 yards and that is likely to duplicate the exterior ballistics of the M80 ball rounds I intend to stockpile for practice and Thunderdome use.
And you gotta be careful with those ARs. I've never seen one get up and go on a shooting spree but they do seem to know how to procreate...
