    Compact ACOG?

    Anybody have one on their AR? 1.5x, 2x, 3x?

    Willing to share some pictures of the set-up and maybe even a picture of the view through the scope?

    I'm thinking about getting a 3x24 version with an amber dot, but I haven't been able to find good pictures online.

    Also, any thoughts on how this might work (or not work) for taking coyotes out to 250yds would be appreciated. This is mainly a range/SHTF rifle I'm building, but it would be nice if it could pull double duty as a decent coyote gun for weekends at my friend's ranch in the hills.

    I have a TA50-6 (3x24 amber dot) sitting on top of one carbine.



    The above is an old picture of the upper as it now wears a rear MBUS with the optic a notch or two forward on the receiver and no Tango Down VFG. Unfortunately, I do not have enough time behind this setup to provide any real feedback. She was zeroed at 100yds and then put away to rot and might be brought out for an upcoming class in San Jose.

    The biggest downside that I've experienced with the amber dot is that it easily washes out in very neutral backgrounds (i.e. desert).

      That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the picture and details.

      Anyone else have experience with one of these compact models?
