Here is the latest upgrade to my rifle of choice, a Trijicon ta-31d.

Real talk? I'd be more impressed if you did get it from Wish. Congratulations, you spent real money on a good product and slapped it on your 10/22 for a giggle. We've all spent some major dough on guns and gun accessories. Call me when you're playing Russian roulette with your family's life by grabbing a Commie optic slapped together by cross-eyed retard Mongolians and charging into the night with a 10/22 you haven't cleaned in 3000 rounds while your dick hangs out of your boxers.
Edit: For real though, all jokes and ribbing aside... how great is that thing? I've always contemplated getting an ACOG. Also, way to ball out with that $0.05 GOA round-up on the receipt.
It's pretty damn nice, the trijicon cerakote is slightly lighter than Magpul fde but darker than BCMs fde, the light transition is very nice, it's surprisingly lightweight for its size, can't say much for how it actually does on the range though as I haven't been able to go shooting since covid started. So far though I am satisfied with my purchase.
I almost went with the ACOG on my AR-10. I went with the Browe BCO instead and am completely satisfied.
Cool thing about the Browe vs the ACOG is that the Browe has a setting to adjust the brightness of the reticle based on light at the target, not at the rifle. Very helpful for shooting from a shady area into a sunlit one, or vice versa.
Good to know for the time I open my basement door during the day, retreat back to the corner, and glass my neighbor's chickens while heavy breathing.
Seriously, you're the first hands-on report I've seen with Browes. Granted, I haven't looked, but they always seemed really nice and a solid alternative. ACOGs just have such a pedigree, its hard to look past that.
I think both the ACOG and BROW hinder indoor operation, especially when popping them off with a quick-mount and going buis is an option. Where they both shine, and where I think the Browe does just a bit better, is in shooting from cover or concealment to medium-range targets, like from a house to the street.
Having owned both, I think the Browe has better glass, a better reticle, and is sturdier.
The ACOG however, needs no batteries to work to its full potential. It also has been beaten on by a bunch of baboons and 19-year olds, so it's proven.
FWIW: both were designed by the same guy.
Not gonna lie, I kind of want something battery powered. If they made a fiber optic/battery powered combo, that'd be the tits. Just don't want to drop a grand on an optic that has an expiration date built into it... and buying a used one with 8 years gone on the tritium and a looming price tag for Trijicon to replace it seems like something I wouldn't want to do.
