Mount it further forward than you normally would, as far forward on the upper receiver rail as it will go.

Practice scanning with both eyes open, focused on the target area, not the reticle. The reticle should look like a dot floating out front.

When you stop with the reticle near the target, look through the optic. The BAC effect should make it look like the optic just zoomed in on the target and the reticle should be clear.

It usually takes a couple of hours for your eye to learn the trick. Some people just can't get it.

Best trick with the ACOG is to walk from a bright day into a dark room, or vice versa with a couple of different optics, and see how fast you can transition and get guns up on a target. I think you will be surprised how much faster the ACOG is. No turning knobs to brighten up or turn down the brightness. No reticle washout against the background of the target. No worry about whether your battery is GTG or not.

HTH.
