I beleive it is heads and shoulders above the COMP M, but still miss the ACOG's range. But lately most of my work has been done in urban enviroments and I just don't like the magnified veiw in a close gun fight. Most of my engagements have been 100m or less.

For you ACOG guys here's a set up you might want to think about. There is a sight called the the J Point, a fellow Tm Sgt had the company make him a bracket to fit his J Point on top of his ACOG. The bracket mounts in place of the rear appreature. With this set up it gives him the best of both worlds, ACOG for long range and the J Point for close range work. The J Point itself is good out to 200 yards.

It comes in with either a 4 minute dot or a 8 minute dot. The 8 minute dot is fine to use as a back up for CQB, 4 minute if your going to use this for a Primary site. I'm trying to purchase some of these for my ODA and might switch over to this set up myself.
Just thoought I'd throw that out there.
How do the Jpoints hold up? I have played with some of the JP stuff in the past, but have always considered it to be "Game Gear" and not likely to hold up to real world use/abuse I know their match triggers are really nice if they are done right.

Several friends of mine have the JP open sights mounted at about 1 o'clock on the forend of their scoped ARs for close range targets, and it always looked cool, if a little excessive.
