Review of the Trijicon TA-11H-G ACOG by Zak Smith

[slow1911s]

First Look at Trijicon's new TA11 with Green Horse-Shoe Reticle

If you're not familiar with Zak or his articles, take a look around his website. Lots of great information on practical long-range shooting, cartridges, optics, and training. Zak is also one of the principals of Thunder Beast Arms (sound suppressors).

Zak is da man. I think he's been on here once or twice in the distant past.

If you can get one, I'm sure it is very nice.

Mine has been on order since May . . . just saying. *whistles*

Maybe there is an embargo on selling them to Brits?

Maybe there is an embargo on selling them to civilian Brits living in post-colonial post-America USA?

Fixed it for myself.

I wish I could get my eyes line up the target and reticle up close. I was considering a ta11 for a rifle I'm building now. I put an old cheapo hand-me-down tasco variable that happens to have an equivalent sized lit triangle reticle on the rifle and set it to 3.5x and experimented. The "BAC" concept sees it would be screaming fast, and I had no problem driving the reticle to targets, but when I would snap to a target and then focus my scope eye on the scope image to confirm alignment, I am always off by a good 4". The worst part is it's not consistent. Sometimes I'm pointing right of the target, sometimes low, sometimes a combination of low right, so just planning a hold-off doesn't seem reliable. It's like I have a lazy eye or something.

I'm now planning on a tr-24, which I could use like an acog in a pinch if I have to snap from far to close. I really want trijicon to make a tr-24 w/ a drop reticle... would be the best of both worlds...

I called and asked if they could put an ACOG reticle in the APs and the answer is "no".

I use a TR21R on my rifle and the turrets work great for me. 300 yds? Dial in 3 MOA and have at it. Resetting back to zero is super easy.
