New ACOG on the way
I have a Les Baer AR .223 that's been laying around sightless for a while. It's a shame considering this rifle has sub 1/2MOA accuracy. So I was forced to order a new ACOG. I chose a newer model, the TA31H. It has a horseshoe reticle. Anyone have experience with this? Should be fun

That's sweet. Is it a 3.5x or 4x? That reticle in 3.5x with 7.62 compensation would be money on an M1A or SR-25.
EDIT: Just looked really carefully at the first pic - it's 4x for 5.56mm

Doc, what did you pay for the Baer? I'm trying to determine how much they've jumped up in price over the past few months. I saw one at the gun show last weekend that I almost bought, and have been regretting the decision not to all week.

Good find, but it's for an M240 (it's a machine gun). I wonder if it's set up for MG ballistics (i.e. barrel length, hotter ammo, etc.). I know Trijicon will do custom glass, but it's ridiculously expensive. My inquiry was for an extended eye relief 4x32 w/7.62 ballistics to put on an M1A SOCOM.

Dang, I just read the part about "The ranging
reticle is calibrated for 7.62(.308 cal) flattop rifles out to 800
meters." and totally missed the M240 part. I wonder how it would work on the M1A...

Yeah me too... It's an easy call to make to Trijicon. It might just be a reticle swap which isn't too much $$. Thanks for finding that.
