Roderick Smith from United States, CA Public Profile

After waiting so long for this ACSS Aurora I was disappointed upon receiving it to discover that the highly-touted elements of the reticle were much smaller than those of my standard TA31. The chevron is smaller and dimmer, the BDC lines are so small that the numbers are difficult to read, and the windage dots are too small for real action shooting. I had intended to upgrade my TA31 with this ACSS Aurora, but it will not serve my use for a defensive weapon. With the standard TA31, the chevro is not only larger and brighter, but the illumination also extends down to the 4 cross line, so that both the 4 and the BDC line are illuminated. That is a big tactical advantage both for outdoors in daylight. I'm sure the windage dots would be useful with a bipod but otherwise not worth the sacrifice to rapid acquisition of the chevron and BDC lines in action shooting.
