Trijicon ACOG 4x32 on my Colt HBAR AR-15 and how it works

The quality of the Trijicon ACOG. I go over the construction, features and usage of the 4x32 ACOG. I show how the ballistic drop cross hairs are utilized to maximize shot placement accuracy. This optic is my favorite one the market today.

Does your eye line up well with the scope mounted that high? Thinking about getting an acog for my fixed carry handle but worry the cheek weld is too low with my 6 pos. stock. Do your iron sights still work effectivly enough to use for quick close range engagments?

@Buck762 The line of sight through the ACOG changes the cheek weld a bit for sure. When I shoot I hardly notice and/ or feel a huge difference. With an A2 I really didn't have much of a choice for optics mounting but the ACOG on this setup works just fine. The iron sights work good for CQ, a bit of the tunnel effect but not too obnoxious.

One of the best and most informative videos posted on You Tube. Thanks for posting the video. I wathced it twice, have that same exact rifle, and learned a ton. Woot.

@ja068056 Thanks.

@silvermediastudio You're right, I mixed up yards/ meters. Thank you for correcting me, it's been annotated. As for the bible verse, to anyone who didn't know it would appear as a number, colon, number with no meaning. Trijicon didn't hand out bibles with the manuals. As for the liberal dickhead part I stand by my remark. Liberalism in conjuncture with socialism is DESTROYING western civilization and the noble peace prize is a joke, merely a leftist accolade these days, purely political.

Outstanding and informative. Well done.

@Brute4rce For only firing 300 and in, the RMR would work just fine. Not to mention save a bunch of money. I still like the magnification to allow those precise 300,400 and 500 yard shots, after all the 308 is a great mid-long range round.

@the308capital Thanks for the info. like you said I won't be shooting anything above 300 yards which is perfect because I want to make my weapon a more close quarters/mid range shooter with rapid target acquisition which I think is really important. Also debating if its worth it to get an RMR on it.

[the308capital]

@Brute4rce ACOGs are great, a bit pricey but worth the money. The ballistic cross-hairs will be off a little bit on a mid-length LAR-8 because the 308 calibrated ACOG was designed for the M240 and M14 with a 24 and 22 inch barrels. Since the mid length LAR-8 only has a 16 inch barrel, the bullet will drop quicker than the range designation in the scope. For 300 yards and in it is perfect for rapid target acquisition being only a 3.5x which is plenty of magnification for out to 600

[Brute4rce]

Awesome review. I am reaally considering one of these scopes for my RR Lar-8 mid length. I was considering the 3.5 x35 version for my applications, preferably with the horseshoe reticle. Man, do you think I should just go for it and spoil myself?

oyeah he missed a nother point kids the crosshairs are bullshit to
