And tough, too. No worries if you drop it. My biggest criticism of the ACOG is the short eye relief.
In bright sun, the fiber optic can make the reticle TOO bright. What we used to do to remedy that was to take a bit of 100 MPH tape and cover part of it

I have heard of that tape trick. We rarely had optics, were lucky if we got an A2.
The eye relief on this TA33 is very good, it is positioned at T8 and I shoot ntch.
You are gonna like that Trijicon its good stuff and what makes it good is that if you had to you could use it for a hammer and still have a good scope at the end of the day. No one else out there can make that claim. And, while there are better 'scopes' they are far more costly and nowhere near as rugged for a real SHTF scope.
So far I've resisted the urge to put RMR mini-red dots on my ACOGs because of the large height over bore.
The early Elcan Spectres had some optical issues like fuzziness around the edges and the BDC reticles being way off. I'm told those problems were corrected with the Spectre DR.

I do have a set of GG&G 45 degree sight mounts I may install at a later date. For now, I have a front Troy and the KAC rear. ACOG can be quickly removed if need be.
