Re: Chevron reticles
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Redmanss</div><div class="ubbcode-body">If you prefer a standard reticle, you have two options. The ACOG TA-01B is calibrated for .308 and has a standard reticle. Good scope, ACOG tough, but not really fast at all at close ranges and really needs a red dot riding piggyback on top for that capability. The cost gets up there when you are done.
Otherwise, why not a 1-4x like the Vortex PST or the SWFA SS? That is where I'd be looking for the real flexibility of application you're looking for, and at a much lower cost.
Chevron reticles in the other ACOGs work well for quick shots, but precision is hampered in comparison to a standard reticle. Possible, but hampered. </div></div>
Well I think that TA1B has 1.5 inches eye relief, for 308 I want at least 2 inches, by my reckoning I have to go with Chevron. The other scopes you mention would not be first choice, I love the quicker target acq with the ACOG, LOVE IT, leave regular scopes to prone take your time shooting. You scare out a hog real quick, wanna see it real quick.
I also run the red dot with my current ACOG setup, would plan on doing the same. The Ferrari of shooting setups, worth every penny. Love it.
