Well bought. If the reticle becomes too bright during the day, you can tape off part of the fiber optic tube and dim it to your liking.

This thing is petty slick. With both eyes open I see the red cross at all times. I need to read up on Bindon aiming.

I wondered if Trijicon had quit putting biblical verses on their scopes. I am happy to say that they have not! I got MT5:16.

Where is the Biblical verse? Which model did you finally settle on?

It's the TA11J, red crosshair, 223 ballistic reticle.

The verses were cast into the right side of the riser just below the tube. Since the big kerfuffle they have been moved to the label on the left side. Mine is on the last line in this pic.

Yes, I do!

I found the TA35 eyepiece. Which ARD do you recommend?

UPDATE: I found it. TA66 Tenebraex® killFLASH® Anti-Reflection Device for 3.5x35 ACOG Scope. Does it reduce the scope's light gathering power in a noticeable way?

Nope. Not to my eyes at any rate.

Not really. If you look at IT and not downrange you can tell its there barely, but look downrange and its gone. I like the eyepiece as it keeps stuff away from the lens, figure both will help keep stuff off the lenses, easy to remove when needed.

That-right there- is Infantry. In desert environments, where the light is reflected off of the sand, an ACOG will get so bright it HURTS to look through it. Tape is a good thing...but a bit of advice-cut a drinking straw to the length you want to cover with tape, and split it down the center...put the straw over the fiber optic and then tape it- the adhesives in tape are not conducive to your fiber optic tube's well being-especially in high heat environments like deserts where you need this tape anyhow-High light=High heat,= melted tape adhesive all over your fiber optic tube...USE THE STRAW!

Tape is a good thing

Give me 100 MPH tape, some 550 cord (that's type II/Type III nylon for the jumpmasters in the audience), and a Leatherman tool and I could repair the International Space Station.

It has been a real interesting year, but we finally got the AUG/ TA-11 to the range. My son shot this 15 round 100 yd group off a sand bag from a kneeling position. Here's the kicker: We never touched the adjustments on the TA-11! It's sraight out of the box as received.

Back at the house I read through the field stripping instructions and wham, bam, thank you mam the AUG was down to its sub-assemblies in less than a minute. Cleaning and reassembly was a breeze.

I'm extremely impressed with both products.
