I thought I wanted a TA33 at one point until I finally understood why they made it. The TA31 has bad eye relief, especially if you were forced into using iron sights, but with proper Mount it's not terrible. The TA33 was the response to this and they simply went way too far the other way. Eye relief for days but an absolutely dismal FOV. The TA11 is a great blend, just wish they could have made it a bit lighter.

C_Does, love the video. 3 comments: 1) Delta34 is a great dude with a great channel. 2) Trijicon makes some great stuff but some of their product line (ACOG TA31, Accupoint) desperately needs mid-life upgrades, and some are just evolutionary dead ends. The 1.5x, 2x and 3x ACOGs made sense before magnifiers and microprisms came around. A 1.0x ACOG prism would be neat. 3) Trijicon seems to have had some QC escapes as of late. I know a guy on Discord who had internal debris on the prism of his TA02. Manufacturing after 2020 has seen QC plummet. If it works though it tends to be bomb-proof; Delta34 blew up an ACOG and it still worked.

The TA33 is an interesting choice for a first ACOG review. On one hand, it's one of my favorite models- but it's also very unconventional. You might have been better served looking at a TA31 or TA11, which present more like traditional rifle scopes. The TA33 has a different philosophy of use, where you shoot with both eyes open and it's more akin to a magnified red dot than a scope. I wouldn't want to use it for scanning and identifying targets, for example. But it's great for quickly getting on target to hit something you've already identified. The "killer feature" on the TA33 is not actually its long eye relief, but it's ridiculously forgiving eye box. It's nearly impossible to lose the reticle and image to scope shadow, which means it's also very fast for snap shooting (and it's also workable in front of night vision). That said, your comparison to the SLx 3x isn't wrong. The SLx is a great little prism optic (I have one, too), and it's a huge value. The TA33 has been around since 2007, so of course I would expect someone else to figure out how to improve on a 16 year old design and reduce costs. The fact that Trijicon continues charging what they do for the ACOGs despite not adding modern improvements like battery illumination across the whole line (TA02 and TA110 notwithstanding), adjustable eye pieces, or windage marks in the reticle is silly.

I did a simplified tracking test on my ta31 a few weeks ago. I didn't have the chart, but I mounted it in a vise and used my neighbor's garage door as reference. So I can only confirm accurate tracking in the vertical using the reticle, but I can also see that mine did not jump around all over the place like in the video. Mine generally tracks in the direction of adjustment without jumping or sticking. I have a ta33 I can test as well but haven't got around to it.

My ACOGs have always zeroed differently than they should per instructions. Usually the adjustments are about half as fine as they should be and it seems like some adjustments adjust more than others. It’s not like it’s an optic I’ll be dialing, but it’s still a bit obnoxious. And yeah, tapping the optic between zeroing adjustments is common. It even used to be recommended in the army zeroing procedure.

The TA50 is a better TA33 in my eyes as it achieves the same thing with smaller size and weight, same eye relief and eyebox, and slightly bigger fov (not by much) The first I received was a super beat up fiber amber with simple crosshair and no bdc. I could tell it was generations behind the next one I got with red crosshair bdc but the older one had a better eyebox and more eye relief. I gave that one away as a christmas present and kept my newer TA50 and put it on a WWSD inspired lightweight build but to be honest.... I woulda been better off with just getting the SLX.

Ok, I think i figured out the 'tracking' issue. It's only when you crank on the adjusters really fast that the reticle does the jumping around. When you clicked through slowly, it moved fine. The USMC marksmanship manual says this: Adjusting the optic is a precision exercise and should be performed by- • Moving the adjusters slowly. And the US Army FM 3-22.9 says: NOTE: To ensure a consistent zero, tap the scope with the palm of your hand to stabilize the adjustment mechanism after an adjustment has been made, and then fire a three-shot group on the target.

Great vid. Have seen multiple comments/reviews about over bright reticles based on sighting location but never the reticle issues, well done. You should send a copy of this video to Trujicon and ask them to explain how the mount causes this issue. Maybe the military had started seeing issue with QC also and went to LPVO option. But since they had the mil contract there was no incentive to modernize the sight. There are aftermarket options to control fiber optic overbright. Like some commenters I also was thinking about the acog for a AR but with the cost and I think they are way behind other modern sights, cant do it. Why they dont have led as a part of all these models I dont get. I understand the military guys used them. I'm retired military but there are better options. IF you are gonna be a "shooter" in real life, maybe just maybe you need something "private snuffy" proof but if not I don't see it. Maybe since no more mil contract for trujicon they will have to change to meet civilian market needs or fade away. I was also thinking vcog but the price of that scope is ridiculous to the max. Can just get a Vortex or the new SIG DVO. If they break can get another one under warranty or buy another for less total cost. Will be curious to see how trujicon adapts to the new market without military contract.

There’s nothing wrong with the adjustments. These don’t track like a normal scope. The prism is held against the erectors through spring tension. When an adjustment is made with the turrets sometimes the springs can hang up which is what causes the tracking issues you are noting in your video. Simply tapping the rifle against a table, using a small mallet, or firing a shot or two off target will settle the prism to show you the true position of the reticle. These are not meant to be dialed for correction . The scope should be zeroed and then left alone, using the reticle to adjust for range.
@paulyp9853

Further proof that government contracts are not the end all be all. One of the biggest factors in getting a government contract is being the lowest bidder. Not a ringing endorsement. That is something you dont normally hear about. Of course ACOG's will always have their fan base because they were used in the military and some swear by them. Proof that you can adjust to anything if that is your only option. Anytime I see an ACOG review it is usually lacking when compared to the competition despite always being much more expensive. Now I understand that they are bomb proof and there is a lot to be said for that given its intended purpose. Disclaimer - I never owned an ACOG, and I never had to have my life depend on an optic so I am not speaking with first hand experience, but for the civilian who is not putting his life on the line I believe there to be better options just according to what I have read/seen.

Would have been curious if you tapped at that point if the elevation returned to normal. I have TA02 ACOG, and personally have not done a tracking test like this. However, when Zeroing it, if I either tap the knobs, or send a round to “set” the erectors, haven’t had an issue zeroing. But this TA33 example seems to be a bit wonky for sure.

As EverydayMarksman said the true benefit of the TA33 is that it's easier to use for quick shots with both eyes open because of the smaller tube you are looking through which yes you do give up field of view for it but higher powered binoculars, a monocular or a rangefinder is better for scanning a large area anyways. I almost bought the SLx 3x until I watched FocusTripp do a drop test and saw that the zero got knocked way off by 25 to 30 MOA and he only dropped it from shoulder height. I have yet to see an SLx actually be torture tested to anywhere near the same extent as the ACOG has so while it is a lot cheaper it's also not going to be near as tough as the ACOG. Range worthy and combat worthy are not the same thing. It depends on just how tough someone wants their optic to be and if it's actually worth the extra you have to pay to get it. While the ACOG does have a goofy zeroing process once it's zeroed it stays put which is more important in a combat worthy optic. One of the benefits of a prism optic is it doesn’t rely on separate rings like an LPVO which is a weak point but if the prism optic doesn’t maintain zero after the same impacts which would mess up an LPVO’s zero then there’s no real advantage to the mounting system. This is one of the reason the Marines use the VCOG instead of a normal LPVO. The ACOGs and the VCOG are about as tough as you can get for a magnified optic that is mounted to something that gets banged around a lot more than a hunting rifle or a dedicated sniper rifle. The ACOG might be an old design and might lack some of the features that others have but it's still in a league of its own.

I like my prisms big. The 4x32 ACOG is amazing, and eye relief is not an issue if you have a nice mount setup. This optic with an RDS is still the best set up for a mid-range rifle.

Mr. SeaDoo. You should really see if you can get your hands on an Element Immersive 5x prism. Its kinda big and heavy but, imho, it is REALLY impressive for ~$500.

Thank you very much for this video. As far as I know, the selling point of the Acogs is that they are extremely simple, strong and reliable, and that users can rely on them even in very harsh conditions and tough use. Elcan has similar selling arguments. These are not characteristics that can be tested on a peaceful day with a lot of time to compare them with other optics.

I have the slx3x, looking at the comparison between the slx 3x and ta33, the glass in the trijicon is clearly better, but other than that, i cant see many reasons to go with the ta33 over the slx 3x.

@@boygonewhoopdataZZ I dunno, I have a 5x SLx, and am not easy on it. Plenty of scuffs, chips, etc on the optic, and its been fine, still it. I'm sure I could break it if I tried, and I dunno if its "bombproof", but its been plenty durable for things like hiking, camping, drills, etc.

The only fragile parts of the slx 3x micro are the mounts, especially the cantilever spacers.

I would run one of these an a ar pistol. Not a gpr but somewhat of a cqb style optic with an rmr on top, almost like having a red dot and magnifier. Mostly run it for the rmr and if I need to take a more precise shot then I can look through the acog.

The first ACOG model TA01 was released in 1987. That makes this design 36 years old (Looking forward to your review of Laser Disks for movies.) While both designs were excellent for their time, we have a lot more cost effective solutions today. The design has had longevity because of its ease of use and reliability. Take into account that a 100 dollar clone of this design can accomplish the same thing, so it lives on based on its battle experience. If you are looking to repel down a helicopter or jump out of an airplane then this is the product for you, but also note that the military has since migrated away from this design.

You should read the manual that comes with the TA33. The eye relief is 3.6” per the manual. I have two of them. In reality it’s more like 5”. You lose almost zero fov until you get beyond 5”. Long eye relief plus narrow fov is just physics. There is no way in hell the PA has more eye relief than the TA33. I own multiples of both. FOV and scope body of the TA33, and also the TA47, shine in run n gun type events, ie real world situations these optics were designed for. A large FOV and and large scope body blocking your peripheral vision suck. Try using the optic in one of your .22 matches and you’ll understand what I mean. Try using it as a magnified micro red dot. You’ll get it then.

Yeah, I don’t think he does the kind of shooting where the lower magnification acogs shine. The ta33 is honestly the most useful acog to use for more than static observation and things like that.
