Good info in this thread.
I would like to know why a person would fork out $1000 or so for a Trijicon ACOG
For example, There is terrorist attacking me 50ft away and another shooting and another shooting at 100m. The lights are dim and I am in an indoor combat situation. I take down my targets. Now, I walk outside and 300 m away there is a terrorist firing at me in an urban environment. He is in a building. Another terrorist is firing at me 100m away as well, hiding behind a wall. Now, I get behind a wall and fire back at my targets. I eliminate the terrorists.
Sorry, if this hypothetical example sounds far fetched. I guess what I am saying is I want an all-purpose CQB-Mid Range scope.
so, I do not have $2000 to spend on a training course where an expert can teach me all the correct tricks and knowledge of guns. I would really have no choice to buy one and try it for myself. So I want to make the best decision.
The Deer Hunter said:'Cause they want to look like they are in the military or something. You can find a decent scope for a couple hundred
I talk to a person at a scope store who told me that the UltraDot Four sight has one type of reflex or laser dot sight (I am not sure which) that has four variable dot sizes that can range from very large to small. Do you think this type of sight would be an advantage over the AIMPoint, since you can change the sizes of each dot. Does AIMPoint have any features like this?
Most people here have said the Docter sights attached to an ACOG are worthless. If you are advocating reflex sight like AIMPOit for CQB, do you think that a Docter sight on top of ACOG would not give you advantage in both situations?
I know the DOcter sight is much smaller than regular Reflex sight, so you may have lot less FOV.
Barring that, I would recommend you get one of the Aimpoints (Comp ML2/M2 or newer). These have enough battery life that you can just leave the sight on all the time and replace the batteries every six months and are very durable. They are some of the best sights out there for the type of defensive shooting likely to be encountered by police or civilians. These are also the sights that seem to best improve novice shooters immediately in my experience.
