What am bestest acog?

[Cannonfodder]

As old age is starting to catch up with me I've decided I need to swap to a magnifying optic for my AEG and I'm thinking of an acog. Are there any recommended brands or any to avoid? Or is it a case of they're all about the same and not getting a lemon depends on whether the airsoft gods are smiling on me or not?

Also if there's anything similar but better I'm open to suggestions

I've had quite a few - the eye relief on every one I've had has been poor, however the G&P one is/was the best by a decent measure.

I have an evolutiongear and a specprecision, both of them are problematically dark compared to repros of other optics.

I have a trijicon as well and obviously it's better, but it's expensive.

If it still fits your vibe, then eg and holy warrior both do elcan spectre repros that are passable, but there is a bit of zero shift between the 1 and 4x magnification settings

Evolution gear hands downs for an acog, clear glass, lovely rugged build, it looks “proper” and they’re not THAT expensive

Still has the typical ACOG issue of eye relief but I find you get used to it quite quickly
