A few days ago a very nice chinese contact announced the coming of an FDE (flat dark earth, I believe) Acog. Excitedly enough I inmediately posted the news on this forum and now we are finally able to actually get one... or maybe not.
So you know what I mean, here's a link to a real FDE Acog (Trijicon TA01 ECOS): http://kentuckianafirearmstraining.com/ima...d_Dots_CCDW.jpg and here one to what we're getting: http://www.rsov.com/product/0/1836/p_ACM-A...x32R-earth.html Not perfect and I sure hope they combine it with a Docter optic in coming batches, but hey: just think of how much ass this will kick ones you fit it on your Dboys SCAR-Heavy version!!!

I may have to order one of these. My FDE fetish is kicking in again.

They got the FDE all wrong. Too golden, It just looks like it belongs in a Mayan temple.
Regardless if it's magnified it's worth taking a look at. -------------------- |

FDE doesn't look too bad to me. Not perfect, but the RS guys usually miss the mark, too. No magnification is what makes this a travesty.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I've been waiting for this! I wish it was magnified, had the doctor sight already and had the correct ARMS attachment. Oh well, maybe a magnified version will come out soon. The real steel one IS "golden-brown"

Sorry x2 is too much for airsoft?! What are you playing with, a blow pipe? My m14/16 work rather nicely with x4 in woodland obviously.
