I had an ACOG on my rifle, I was a FISTER though.. We kinda needed the 3x. If i was infantry i would prefer the Comp M.. thats just me.

But i suppose since your gonna be in the Stan a ACOG would be ok due to the terrain. It's open.

If you have an ACOG get a DOCTER site. It is a small relex site that mounts to the top of the scope. You won't be making eye shots at a 100 meters but you will hit your target. Alot of the guys that use ACOG's use this also. It takes some practice because your line of site is different but with a little range time and dry firing you will be good to go.
