ACOG/AimPoint Combo plate
« on: July 16, 2015, 03:55:51 PM »

          Ok Guy's (and Gals) little help here please.  :love:
  After last weeks shoot, I've proven that I can't shoot a half dollar at under 10 meters with an ACOG, but can with the T-1 2MOA Aimpoint and the ACOG can get it in there better than the AimPoint after 100.  ;D

    I want the best of both worlds so an offset mount seems to be in order but like everything else, it comes in various makes, models colors, sexual preference etc... :shake:
LARUE, WEAVER, SPIKES, KNIGHTS adjustable, 10 o'clock, flip up, QD etc...    :crazy:

What say Ye 2a ?  :worship:

But I paid half that for ACOG AND  AimPoint together !   :love:
Went with GGG 45 degree offset, $30.00 @ SEC

fair enough.  to be honest, i had no idea what an ACOG actually costs anyways, since its past the price range to where i'd rather be spending money on a higher zoom optic.  i just figured the RMR combo would be close.

I'm sorry guys for bump old topic, just have a few interesting observations from personal experience, perhaps someone will need this information in the future.max effective range for an m4 is 500m for a point target
and using an acog is great scope the stadia lines are as wide as the average mans shoulders at that distance so it makes engaging much faster than working with mills


if you zero the top cross hair at 100m the second is 200 then 300 the 400m is the line marked 4 and so on so basicly wichever line is as wide as the guy your wanting to pop is the distance they are at and thats the aim point you use to shoot. I wouldnt recomend anything past 500m as your going to have a hell of a time trying to hit the target reliably the slightest breeze will throw your round 10 feet off target so if your wanting to do 600-1000m shots I would recomend something that uses a bigger round
acogs are great optics and you wil enjoy usint them. o and for under 50m they make red dot sights that mount on top or the make models with pistol sights on top of the scope.On my AR15 I use a 1x-4x optic on a Larue SPRE mount https://thetacticalscopes.com/best-acog-mount-awesome-support-optics/ gives me the ability to use as a CQB or as medium range scope. I have shot it out to about 600 yards with great results, all 30 rounds in a paper plate though with my optic this is about maxed out.
