Rem M700 XCR Compact Tactical & TA01B ACOG

[Eustachius234]

What do y'all think of this system as an urban precision rifle?

• 
  Remington Model 700 XCR Compact Tactical

• 
  TA01B 4x32mm ACOG

Supposedly this ACOG is calibrated for .308 Win 168gr out of a 20" barrel. So if one were to use 168gr Fed Match ammo that should work out good.

Would there be a problem with the ACOG's short eye relief and finding a mounting solution for the XCR? Also how about cheek weld?

For a little bit more you might could get a Mk 4 Leupold that has variable power. But the ACOG would probaly be nice.

So you don't see any problems with using an ACOG on the XCR - cheek weld, short eye relief, etc?

 

[P.B.Walsh]

Well, I'm not sure about either, but I have to use a Eagle Industries SSP on my stock with a baisic scope, so I don't know about the ACOG's. But your cheek weld may differ than mine. I have heard that the ACOG's have short eye relief though as you have already mentioned.

BTW, my scope has around 3" or eye relief and I do just fine.

Hope it works out for you!!

Well, Trijicon claims 1.5" as the eye relief for a 4x ACOG. With my TA31 on my AR I'm generally at about 2" and that seems to be right in the middle of the sweet spot. It still works ok from contact out past 3". The challenge with a bolt gun is, how are you going to mount it that far back?
