The 1.2" difference will NOT matter, ammo specs and reticle/magnification level are not "precise" enough to matter...this is a 4x combat optic, not a 32x precision one for a 24" bolt gun shooting hand rolled ammo.

So I picked one of these up and its pretty cool. The manual it comes with is generic and doesn't explain the other features of the reticle, which is disappointing. North Sylva, could you provide any info on this?
My only other gripe is that the serial number on the box doesn't match the serial number on my scope.

Inch or cm grid at 50 meter should be helpful to figure out the reticle... Are they MOA or MRAD?

I read and I'd have to go double-check, but when the C7A3/C8A4 program goes forward they'd replace the Elcans with ACOG's and RMR's these could be test samples for the A3/A4 trail.

this video gives pretty good background

this probably isn't acss acog but explains the background of acogs and how to use them pretty well
What I was referring to was the significance of the additional stadia lines they added to the reticle. I already own a couple of TA31Fs with the chevron reticle and BDC.
I'm assuming the ones on the horizontal axis are for leading moving targets at various speeds, but I'm not sure about the significance of the horizontal lines added to the sides of the chevron.

I have one of these for my 15.7. It is quite awesome. Pelican case matches the optic that was made in 2012. Kill flash is held on with a rubber o ring. I witnessed US Army guys at CFSAC firing ACOGs on their M4's from 500m and getting excellent scores. It's expensive, but It sure is nice.
Anybody know how many were made available? It is a limited run.

They were made in 2012? I thought these were new production.

Good to see DND catching up with the early 2000s. Next we get quad rails, and by 2050 we'll have some form of lightweight free floating handguard and wear multicam.

That would be some nice-to-know info before buying one.
I'll just go on the "Dark Web" and try to buy some Tritium......
*faint helicopter sounds getting closer*
It's still usable - fibre optic is definitely bright during the day (so much so that US soldiers and Marines would put gun tape over half their fibre optic pickups in Iraq and Afghanistan), and actually collects moonlight and starlight for a VERY faint image. The tritium would be at about 65% of it's original brightness after 8 years, so still useable. Even after two half-lives (24 years) you'd still see a faint glow at 25% intensity even with the fibre optic pickup completely covered.

I have no illusions about doing night-time combat missions when not working my day job in an office, so yeah its not a deal breaker.
But if I pay for a feature, I'd expect to receive 100% of that feature or an explanation of why not.
