Best 4x Acog?

[Guest SquashyTundra6]

Hello everyone, I'm looking to replace my own acog with a better one - I got mine very cheap on ebay and whilst I love it, it does need upgraded. Can anyone recommend a decent airsoft acog sight?

 

Is the we tech version any good? Here's the link: http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/airsoft/we-wecog-4x32-dr-acog-sight.htm#.VY6uXHCkqrU

It might be a contender unless anyone says otherwise

 

Thanks!

What makes a decent airsoft ACOG ?

 

They are all replicas of the real thing.

 

I have one on my SCAR which works fine but only one in tne armoury, so cant compare.

[Guest SquashyTundra6]

Well something which has been made with a higher standard of quality control, something clear and isn't lopsided, good materials that won't be damaged too easily.

 

The one I have is angled in a strange way, the internal reticle is twisted to the right, anytime it's hit by a bb or if it is dropped the metal on it ends up looking like the T-1000 anytime it's shot at - so Ideally I just want a new sight that will rectify these issues

I only have one so cant comment on all the versions out there, but from what Ive seen, if you pay more than about £90 for an ACOG, they are usually decent quality.

 

This is the one I have.

The WE one seems quite decent, although Im not personally botheted about a doctor sight.

[Guest SquashyTundra6]

The G&P one is only £75, it seems to get good reviews and it looks like it is much better quality!

 

Personally, I quite like the red dot, however I have an element one I put on my current acog, so I can just swap it round.

 

Thanks very much, I think this is exactly what I was looking for

I bought mine from Pro Airsoft Supplies two years ago for £99.

 

Ive also fitted a kill flash to stop it getting shot out.

[Guest SquashyTundra6]

Well if it's lasted two years and still works alright then it should be good for £75. (Although knowing my luck it'll be £45 for postage or something stupid like that)

 

I tend to use a lens protector just, although for something like this I may look into the kill flash... Just to be extra safe

i have 2 off these on different guns, great little sights, but you may need a RIS raiser >> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281705901156 cheap too

(i have had one on my CM16 for over 2 years)

[Guest SquashyTundra6]

I had actually been looking at one of them originally, however I couldn't find a review on it anywhere and for something that looked so unique I thought I'd steer clear... However if you can vouch for it then I'll certainly give it a go, I do quite like the look of it!

 

I've already got a ris raiser, can't see a thing without one on an L85 haha

 

Thanks very much sp00n

[sp00n]

I can vouch. This is mine on my g&g l85

Sorry I cart display the pic am on my phone atm

[Guest SquashyTundra6]

Hmm, and it certainly doesn't look half bad, Thanks again good sir!

[sp00n]

No probs mate.

 

The only issues I have had is I couldn't find a Mount to fit a small DR sight, if I didn't turn the illuminated reticle off it drains the CR2032 battery, and keep the mount bolts nipped up lol

[Guest SquashyTundra6]

I suppose a dr mount like this is too big?

 

 

Alright, I can live with those small problems! I can get those batteries in packs of 6 in the pound shop of I find myself using the illuminated reticle often

It can be used without illumimation though can't it?

[sp00n]

Believe it or not, the bridge that clamps onto the scope is too small.

 

Yeah it still works without batteries just isn't illuminated.

[Guest SquashyTundra6]

Too small? That is a suprise actually... Although it is very thin? I might see if I could modify it, ofcourse By the looks of it the fibre optic fromt sight appears to be too high for a doctor sight to work with anyway, so back up iron sights it is

 

Not a problem, as long as it isn't a holographic type reticle, then I'm quite happy to go ahead with it
