I have the marine corp version of the ACOG and just had the tritium refreshed. I have used it in competition and at several classes at CSAT. I don’t feel like I am giving up anything with it. I can go prone, shooting off of my magazine and hit 9 inch steel discs at 300 yards that we shoot in one of the matches with 55 grain Bullets.

I don’t know about the vision comments. I have the right lense (in my glasses) set for the front sight on a pistol and my left lense for far vision. I find that looking through any of my optics on my rifles is much clearer than using far vision in both lenses and can get a better focus on any optic that has that feature. I was taught to shoot with both eyes open back in the day when I shot rifle silhouette to avoid eye fatigue. Once you get used to that with a 24 power scope, everything else is a piece of cake.

The ACOG works well on the Mary Katherine targets even when turned sideways at seven yards (requiring that you know your offset). The offset is easy as the graduations for distance serve as the aiming point. The Mary Katherine target is a threat/hostage target that is used at CSAT.

Thank you for sharing this. I have run an ACOG for the past 12 years and think it works well from point blank to as far as a AR will shoot. Don't understand the need for the VCOG.
