Check that out. thought it was interesting. from what i know its the first magnified/illuminated replica acog ive seen so far. More to come?

[aznriptide859]

Only if it keeps its windage/elevation during shooting. I thought that was an issue for all ACM ACOG's.

[jond36]

yeah i saw this a day or two ago and that is the first thing I thought. ACM = garbage.

I actually saw it on RSOV.com though.

Very cool, Probably try one after I've read some reviews.

I've got four ACM acogs and they keep their zero. One of them is on my WE M4 GBB that has similar recoil to a real steel Canadian C8 (M4).

Of course there are many rubbish ACM examples but also many good examples- good enough for airsoft anyway.

Lets not write off this new ACOG just yet.

Ordered the illuminated 4X ACOG TA31 scope from RSOV over the weekend..

Will post more info when I receive it.

There are some Bushnell trophy scope replicas on RSOV that are new.. shown here:
Hopefully some one can post a review of these.

Too bad the 'COG has etched trades all around...I would have liked to see the raised trades on the right side. Also when will someone replicate the left hand side trades properly? (with the datamatrix/QR code?)

[qlong]

Just wait for the tritium version.

[cazboab]

Yeah, that'll work. A radioactive sight made in china on the QT. I can't see any potential problems with that.

How is this scope illuminated- does use a battery or does it use illuminous paint?

Thanks
Tony

[cazboab]

Battery in a tube were the peep hole to mount it in a carry handle would be.

[masakarijoe]

more info and pics of this would be great... but why the hell dont they use the chevron reticle? i find that just plain silly at this point.

[Mental Medic]

I wonder if it'll mount onto a carrying handle.........

[masakarijoe]

doubtful. the base is most likely wider to house the battery.

No, it can't, because there's an additional battery and switch compartment that you can't see on Gunner's photo.
I suspect he took the photo from that angle on purpose in order to hide the fugly battery/switch compartment below the rear end of the scope. Another downside is that the intensity of the illuminated reticle cannot be adjusted, it's just on/off.

[masakarijoe]

lame. ill wait until they make a good one with the updated adjustment caps, a different battery compartment (or fiber optic illumination), and most importantly... a CHEVRON reticle like it should be.

[Fingers A.R.S.E.]

cool find, but yeah id like to see one with the chevron recticle as well

[arvi007]

Received mine today..

Initial impressions:
1. Brightness IS adjustable by holding down the ON button and pick the right brightness as it cycles the brightness.
2. Comes with low and high mount
3. Clarity is real good
4. Eye relief is same or better than other 4X ACOGs.
5. There is an issue with the reticule not in crisp focus. I will be opening it tonight to get the reticule moved closer to the eye piece so it will stay in focus.
6. Don't think it will work with GBBRs and real steel as the reticule inside is not fixed hard to the body.
7. It will fit on the carry handle as the battery compartment is extended out so it won't interfere with the grove in the handle ( See pics below )

Feel free to ask any questions.
Will try and get pics of the illuminated reticule but basically the center of reticule is illuminated red.

[Mental Medic]

Could you take a pic of it fixed onto a carrying handle? I wanna see how well it fits

And also, the extra mount included should be a dovetail mount.

[RC-1138]

Nice, but why oh why do they always use the wrong reticule Anyway how's the adjustments on it? Do they stay in place after use and is there sufficient "play" to get your shot's zeroed?
