I will say though that the Leapers I mentioned does exist and it is about ten times better than any Trijicon ACOG I have had to deal with over the last X number of years and Y ACOGs.
Ten days ago I got to deal with a ACOG (donut reticle in .308) that I dealt with circa 2004. Have no clue how the unit ever got these ACOGs but they had four then, took all four to war and returned with all four -- much to my displeasure.
None held zero and one fogged up pretty badly. Just like the same ones did in 2004 -- imagine that? It is like Ground Hog Day in my arena.
What is more funny is when I deal with the M-24's. I can recognize them from their paint jobs and can take them back four or five shooters from two or three different units.
I think I will change my job into some sort of counselor for fifteen or twenty year old M-24's whose barrels are more like paradox barrels than rifled barrels and whose screws have been covered with fifteen or twenty coats of bow flage or enamel paint -- whose BDC remains calibrated for M-852 in yards and is backwards, et al. I have even seen a couple with M-80 Ball BDC's. He, he, he. I mean I can communicate with these rifles I have seen them so many times. It is like they are part of my family almost.
One thing I will say about an M-24 is that they will shoot damn good no matter how many inches of rifling have been removed from the chamber area. A phenomenon IMHO about as significant as that experience I had with that Leapers ACOG that remains head and shoulders above any Trijicon $1K POS I have ever seen.
