is this recticle the same as a real ACOG recticle

[strettman]

i'm just wondering if this recticle is the same as a real ACOG recticle

It looks a bit like it. I think that's the one off the Trijicon scope, yes?

Yes it is the same as the real deal ACOG

Re: is this recticle the same as a real ACOG recticle

it's aparently a G&P one, does anyone know which ACOG the UK marines are adopting? is it the one without the ironsights and with that fibre thing?

Re: is this recticle the same as a real ACOG recticle

its the one with the fibre optic bit, para's and the s/f support group are suposed to have started getting them already

The RM aren't the only ones adopting this! Where do you lot get your info from?

It's being rolled out to the guys on the ground on tour (the old "you'll get it in theatre" thing). Not too sure about units back here, there aren't a lot of ACOGs on issue at the moment. and the priority is to operational requirements.

The ACOGs seen on the SA-80's in theatre are the ones without the iron sights (or EBS depending what you want to call it) on the top (as wires pointed out).

Although if you get to see/play with a GMG, the optics they come with are ACOGs with iron sights on the top.

which ACOG should i go for, i've got a CA M16(M15) with a 203, i just don't know between G&P and STAR

It's upto you, mate. Personal preference for me is the one with the EBS on top (iron sight)

But whatever yanks your chain, really.

I have a G+P Acog, and they're excellent. Dunno what STAR are like.

Re: is this recticle the same as a real ACOG recticle

thanks mate, so far i haven't spoken to anyone that i know of who has a STAR ACOG or has had one

[Gen. Melchett]

Re: is this recticle the same as a real ACOG recticle

probably because no one wants one!

The choice is yours, though!

Re: is this recticle the same as a real ACOG recticle

are there any with illuminated recticles?

[Gen. Melchett]

Re: is this recticle the same as a real ACOG recticle

I'm no expert, but as far as I know the only sight with the illuminated X-hairs are the real deal ACOGs (the centre of the x-hairs glow yellow in low/no light).

I could be wrong though. About the replica ACOGs.

bit too expensive though are the real things, lol

Re: is this recticle the same as a real ACOG recticle

I have an ACOG replica on my M4A1. It allows me to use the iron sights and it has an illuminated red crosshair.

Just a bit. lol

Mind you, if you can "aquire" one that's even better...
