I am looking a 2 different optics for my first AR. I bought a Daniel Defense V7 here and need a scope. There is a guy locally selling off some stuff and I was wondering if you guys could give me some advice on if his pricing is fair. First off is a Trijicon ACOG TA01. The tritium is still bright and it was manufactured in 2009. He wants $650 for it. Second is an EO Tech XPS2-0. He wants $400 for that. Magnification is not a big deal to me. At most i'll be taking it out to 200 yards but mostly at 100. Thanks for the helping the newbie.
Rifle Scopes Please HELP! Is This A Good Deal?

Which do you like better? Also I'd be very careful about fake acogs, just look at ebay and you will see the knock offs look very real.
I really do like them both. ACOG for the reason of magnification and no need for batteries. The EO Tech is also nice because it is lightweight and I can still add on back up magpul sights. Im not sure if i'll have room with the ACOG. I am going to link the ad. If it's possible to tell if ACOG is legit from the pictures that would be awesome.

I'd take an ACOG any day over an Eotech. Just make sure that it's not a military scope, get the serial number and call Trijicon to be sure.
Why is that? Will they not refurbish it if anything goes wrong?
Check out Burris MTAC series..I think it would be right up your alley.
Yes, because that would make it stolen.
How is glass quality on the burris? Also customer service is a big factor.
For that money... Get a Vortex PST in 1-4x.
I had a Vortex PST 1x4. It was a disappointment.
The illumination is useless in daylight, and the reticle is entirely too small to be able to see and use the sub tensions. If you have time to look at it, you can work it out. But if you need them quickly, it's a poor reticle.
For low power running and gunning, never dialing or using the holds, it's great. But then, you could say that about a lot of scopes that cost less.
Acogs are garbage, just my opinion so suck it all you fags that think those turds are wonderful, save your money. Im not a fan of eotech but would get that before a Aturd
What optic would you put on an AR-15 for general plinking out to 300 yards max. Mostly at 100.
I like Eotech. But that is just me.
What a furthest you can reasonably take an eotech? 100? 200 yards?
Go w/ the ACOG. I've got 5+ years on mine & it's still problem free. It tracks reliably, no shifting, etc. It gets used daily. The EoTech is crap. It doesn't need abuse as a reason
to quit. It just does so on it's own. You don't need to keep extra batteries on hand w/ the ACOG.

Try this. You said you didn't need magnification, SH member. If 4 MOA isn't too coarse for you.

ACOGs are the best solution for your dilemma (as you described it)... anything else just sucks big hairy balls... and you can always polish a turd, can't say that about other optics...
I went ahead and bought it. Hopefully I love my new ACOG TA11-F
starting the clock till you sell it
I'm curious... How is that ACOG working out for you?
I vote ACOG. Trijicons site has a page describing what a real ACOG should have, plus you can call them with the serial number for verification. Edit: I have a TA31, and it has been great so far. No batteries plus magnification is a win in my book.
So far so good. I love not needing batteries. The glass quality is great. The eye relief is a bonus as well. Not the greatest for target shooting but its good enough.
The TA01 are nice scope but they are setup for 20" barrels but they will work on 16" barrels for the most part just fine. The TA31 or the TA33 are the ones I would recommend. I like the EoTech for speed and the EXPS and the XPS are my favorites of the EoTech line, I would recommend looking Aimpoint PRO new are $416 and have 10x the battery life and are still fast. If your looking for value and not speeding a lot look at the Vortex Line Up.
We sale a lot of scopes so if we can be of help let me know.
