TR, I attempted to practice what you said but I was having some troubles.
I find when I use the ACOG I need to close my non-shooting eye to use the sight effectively. Otherwise it's like attempting to drive while looking through a pair of binos-that's about the best way to describe it.

You may be one of the very few who cannot get their eyes and brain to work properly with the ACOG.
Make sure that you have the optic up and scan without looking directly through the scope. Keep both eyes open and focus long. You will be aware of the dot (chevron) floating in your field of view. When your eyes pick up the target, you will be able to see the reticle peripherally and stop on the target, you would break the trigger then on a close engagement. Anything beyond CQB range, once you aligh roughly on the target as described above, your dominant eye then looks through the optic to focus on the target, and it will look like you just "zoomed-in" on it. Once your reticle is aligned, you can engage.
Works for me, every time, and is very fast.
