OK, so I'm narrowing my search down to an ACOG with the Doctor mount for my Barrett REC7. The TA01 has amber detail with a silhouette and the TA31 has red detail with BDC (correct?). Which recticle is preferred by you experts and why?

Thanks as always for your insights.

I'd stay away from the TA01. It is calibrated for the .223 with the 55 Gr. ammo, which is very hard to match up with. The TA31 is pretty good, but not as precise as the TA01NSN, which has the crosshair reticle. So if you want more precision, get the one with the crosshair reticle such as the TA01NSN, TA31DOC, TA01NSNDOC.

Paulo,
Have you ever tried a TA11 with donut reticle?

I tried a TA31, which has the Donut Reticle, but I didn't try the TA11. I like the Donut reticle alot actually. I just wish thry made a non-caliber specific reticle for it.

Thank you Paulo. I'll check those out and see which looks best.

Also check out the JPRifles version with their custom reticle that they have. It is actually very nice.

DocGKR-
Would you help me to understand your feedback regarding the ACOG with the RDS? Is it the height on top of the ACOG, the unit itself or some other issue?

Thank you - Black45

I'm not going to answer for Doc, but for me, it was a couple of things:
1. The height was an issue at first, but you can get used to it.
2. The RDS sights are a pain in the ass to zero.
3. Transitioning from one to the other is not the best thing, but again, with training, it is not an issue.
