Scopes or Red Dots sights for an AR15
What would you guys recommend fitting to the carry handle of an AR, a Aimpoint or Trijicon ACOG? I was considering getting either the Aimpoint T1/H1 or an ACOG TA01. Anybody used an AGOC, I'd be interested in reviews. The Aimpoint has a 4 moa dot and the ACOG has crosshairs, I leaning towards the ACOG as I think the AR has better potential than 4moa.
I'm a little worried about the mounting height, but will have to live with that I suppose.

Re: Scopes or Red Dots sights for an AR15
Morning Craig,
Funny enough, I enquired about the ACOG TA01 this week. They are avialable in the country at a price of R9800,00 inc. Vat. They are advertised in the latest Man Magnum magazine, by EMC technologies.I think, purely because I have heard so much good stuff about them, that it would probably be the better of your two options. I was wanting to stick one on my LM5. Still debating it.

i know the ACOG is available with a dr optik 7moa IIRC mounted on top of it. Looks to be a best of both worlds compromise. ACOG for precision work dr for CQB I dont have any experience with this set up but it seems to make sense.

Good point seems the only solution is to buy some sort of AK derivative ;D

BigT, which derivative of the AK would you recommend, I'm open to suggestions?
SSP, Agree, would never get that version, would need to shoot from the hip just to get a sight picture. ;D"You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life."
