Browsing for an ACOG to stick on my Bushmaster M4gery, I came across this one, the TA01 model, Trijicon's most basic model it seems:
http://www.opticsplanet.net/trijicon-4x32-acog-advanced-combat-optical-gunsight-ta01.html
at $300 cheaper than the next step up (TA-31, red chevron), can anyone point out game breaking differences between this model and the more expensive ACOG's? Any personal users here?
3 main questions:
1. How different is the TA-01's crosshair reticle compared to the chevron/donut in actual usage at various ranges? What is used as a rangefinder?
2. Since this model only mounts to the carrying handle, will cheek weld be a problem? Will I even need a proper cheek weld, considering it's an AR (light recoil)?
3. Sort of a take on question #1, wouldn't the TA-01's more precise crosshair reticle make it easier to make precision shots at 100, 200, and 300 yards? On the more expensive ACOGs, all you have is a giant donut or triangle to stick onto the target, and it is supposed to suffice up to 300 yards. The individual 100, 200, and 300 yard lines on the crosshair reticle seem more precise....of course this is probably a disadvantage for close range work.
thanks!
