ACOG rules. EOtech has batteries and won't stretch you beyond 250yrds. Batteries fail when you need them most, and I prefer that if I have to shoot at somebody, he/she/they be as far from me as my optics, platform, round and Chops will allow.

ACOG FTW.*

But please, Trijicon, get the damned verses off the scopes. Walt was right about everything else.



*It should be noted that this reflects a different set of needs and logistical realities which do not face our members serving overseas. A civilian rifleman or militiaman cannot call upon mortars, heavy machineguns, automatic grenade launchers, rocket-propelled grenades, missiles or airstrikes. Nor can they can count upon an endless supply of AA batteries. His rifle may also need to be capable of taking big game at extended range for survival purposes. Hence, the .30-cal semi-auto (FAL, M1A, HK91, etc) is a preferred weapon system, along with sufficiently durable and accurate 5.56mm weapons with 20+ barrels. For these types of rifles, designed to be manstoppers at up to 600 meters with plenty of juice left at 800, the ACOG excels. It's extremely accurate, the light-transmission is great, it's 24/7 illuminated without batteries, and it's built like a tank.
