Acog's and CQB

I picked up a TA-31F awhile back for a smoking $500. Took it out last weekend and fell in love with it. Seems like a great all purpose sight, except.....

I practiced clearing my house with it on and definitely do not like the sight for CQB. The 4x magnification screws me up. Guess the "Bindon Aiming Concept" doesn't work as fast as it needs to on my eyes. Much prefer a Reflex/aimpoint/eotech for cqb stuff.

Xdeth on Snet recommended turning the ACOG into an OEG for CQB by covering the front lens. Not a bad idea. I've seen the mini holosights on top of acogs, but that doesn't look like my cup of tea.

I'm thinking about heading to the box (site security and limited convoy stuff) and was contemplating bringing this along. I have no idea how much close range stuff contractors do and whether or not I'd be better off with an eo tech. Just looking at my options sight wise. IMHO, for anything other then CQB Ranges this site is the shiznit.



I'm looking for input from people that have used the ACOG at CQB distances and what your experience was.
