I'm considering a magnified optic for a 16" 5.56mm NATO rifle. This weapon serves as my general purpose rifle.
I used to own a TA33 with amber chevron reticle and really felt it was a great scope for a general purpose rifle.
If I buy another TA33, I'll go with the green horseshoe reticle.
However, I've been looking at the low magnification variable scopes on the market from Nightforce, Leupold, etc. Specifically, the Leupold Mark 4 1.5-5x20mm MR/T with Illuminated CM-R reticle and Nightforce 1-4x24mm NXS with FC-2 reticle.
Do you think these low magnification variable scopes offer advantages over a TA33?
I'm especially interested in speed of target acquisition, clarity, weight, and size.
