A few more thoughts: If I knew I’d only be using my rifle from point blank to 200 yards, I’d say my EOTech would be great. Maybe even quicker under 100 yards with no magnification.
But from 100 to 600 yards, the Trijicon would win hands-down, no comparison. Zero. None.
And up close, there are those who say that the Trijoon acts like an “occluded eye gunsight” while you are swinging onto the target with both eyes open. That is, the left eye sees the target, the right eye sees that BRIGHT orange triangle. As you put them together and steady on target, the right eye comes into focus, and there you are, on target. I have not had a chance to test this (no free range gravel pits nearby) but it sounds like it would work.
Both are damn fine sights, but the Trijicon ACOG is hands down better.
Put a brake/comp in front, and you would have a seriously deadly off-hand running-around-and-shooting killer carbine.

The Trijicon Accupoint triangle reticle is great in hunting scopes too. I don’t buy cheap optics, but their hunting scopes will set you back about $800.
Self ping to lurk and learn....
Thanks for the ping!
By the way, the Mosin Nagant fired just fine.
I love it!
The Bindon concept does work with the Trijicon 4x32 for up close work, but if a person has a very strong dominant eye it can be a problem.
Lotsa practice solves it. It took a while for me to figure it out. But then , I have a hard head.
I’m not sure the Tijicon has BDC built in to that reticle?
Am I wrong? EOT’s do.
As you know I've got an Aimpoint. How much fun would it be to have all three platforms on the same range at the same time?
No BDC if you mean an external dial/control of the reticle. It has a series of stadia steps under the triangle for 200, 400 and 600 yards.
Good review Matt.
Informative yet simple enough for humblegunner to understand parts of it!
It would be fun. But there’s just no way the EOTech or the Aimpoint would be in the game much past 100 yards. They just wouldn’t. Fast, yes. Fast and accurate? Not like the Trijicon.
I almost feel sorry for any Talibans caught in a firefight with ACOG-equipped American troops out in the open.
Put a comp on that ACOG scoped rifle and I don’t see how you could get it any better. The only down-side to the ACOG was its flash suppressor that allowed a bit of muzzle jump between shots. My EOTech/Comp combo just has zero recoil or jump. Zero. It’s right where it was between shots. Your eye never loses the aimpoint even for a blink.
Now you're talking!
A Nagant is also fine for long range shooting.
It also works well as a tent-stake hammer, canoe paddle and CQB club.
Bullet drop compensation. sounds like it has it. good deal.
I don’t see why it wouldn’t work, for folks as you say who can use the Bindon concept.
But I would have been persona non grata at my visiting range if I’d started swinging my barrel around before shots.
At the time every one of them was spoken for by Uncle Sugar.
So now I'll put my nose to the grindstone and work until I can pay for one of them.
Thanks, pal.
