A trip back to the sandbox seems to be in my not too distant future. I want to purchase an ACOG to replace the aimpoint on my M4. There are soooo many options on reticles I'm not sure which one would benefit me the most and was hoping to get advice or feedback from you guys. I had an aimpoint last trip and while it seemed like it would do well in urban enviroments it wouldn't do well at stand off ranges. I had a TA01NSN i got from a blackwater guy before he left but gave it to a PV2 that was replacing us. It seemed to do well but took a few seconds to fixate on the crosshair. I've seen the chevron and donut options on the website but not sure if those will be the right choices for what i want.
I'm an aircrew member so most likely if i have to use the site it will be in an rural enviroment (200-600)meters in a stationary standoff situation waiting to be picked up. But if we had to use it in a city I'd like a quick aiming reference.
For stateside use it will go on my RRA entry tactical with either handloaded 69SMKs or XM855 ammo. I have a range with steel targets to 600 meters that i use.
Which one would you recommend for my situation? I've searched recent discussions on this but I couldnt find anything that really fit the type of shooting ill be doing.
Thanks in advance for your input.
