Even if we had the slightest interest in producing optics, all 19 of our machines are already at capacity.
There are far more advanced optics on the market than ACOGS. If no one else in the optic game is making them, it's because they probably don't think Trijicon is selling enough outside of military contract to even bother with it. Anything patent related on ACOG's have been up a long ass time ago. If anyone thought the market was there for it, good ACOG clones would already be a thing. I highly doubt ACOG's are a great seller at all. If not for mil purchases, I'm sure they would have been discontinued a long time ago.
LPVO's beat the pants off of an ACOG in every way unless you need your LPVO to survive using it as a hammer, etc. In that case the ACOG would still be better.

All your takes are bad man lol. RC2 Surefire suppressor is also goat. Yea let’s prioritize decibels on a round you need to wear hearing pro either way makes sense.
YHM 5.56 budget cans are known for terrible back pressure causing violent cycling making overgassing worse.
RC2 known for low back pressure, durability and superior flash suppression. Ya know the thing 5.56 cans are for.

A $1,000 LPVO still destroys a $1,000 ACOG though lol.
There’s a reason why military is moving on from ACOGS and transitioning to LPVO’s more and more.

I do like LPVO’s and think are they are great option for a 16”+ rifle but they aren’t the end all be all choice for an AR like you are claiming.
On a timer can I do a static range bill drill just as fast? Sure. But if you’re moving around shooting off cars and barricades and **** the LPVO adds a level of complexity you don’t have with a dot.

The only reason to take 300 blk over 5.56 is silent hog murder.
The ballistics on those bullets are trash.
I would expect that Relent is probably correct about the cost of an ACOG for Trijicon.
Trij has already designed the optic, built the forms for the forgings, designed the prisms, designed the lenses, developed relationships with the companies that cut them, built a dealer network, built a rep team, repair department, an accounting team, etc that let them have 1 ACOG make them several hundred percent profit.
The cost for a startup would be much higher, and their unit costs would price them out of the market.
It's possible for Relent to be correct about their costs, without anyone else being able to execute them.
Keep in mind that any manufacturer with a dealer network has to build profit for their dealer in there too.

For a rifle built for 5.56 long range shooting would an MPVO with on dot on top or offset be even better than an LPVO? Say a 2-10.
Other considerations : Match shooting vs I want one want rifle for home defense, boog, rage time etc. Will the average shooter actually take their rifle beyond the local outdoor range that maybe goes to 100, 200 or 300? Also practically speaking when irl we shooting anything with 5.56 at 700 yards.
Taking all this into consideration I’d recommend a simple dot for someone who wants an optic for their first build or wants one rifle for HD or SHTF.

That's why my AR's are exclusively 14.5" P&W (stupid AFT) with carbine length gas systems and carbine buffer systems, and carbine length quad rails with fixed front sights
That's also why I only carry a sig sour sidearm and am going to buy one of those expensive Sig rifles in that caliber I forget what it even is
What I do with my rifle is absolutely exactly the same as what the Army does and the Army's product decisions are the only ones we can accept

Actually shooting helps a lot. The most important factor is that you actually shoot your rifle, but the idea that an LPVO doesn't do well close up is silly.

I like it. It fits on the gun perfectly, the lazer is super bright and the light has a great "flood" effect for the size. However as I suspected the suppressor blocks some of the light, but that was to be expected. Obviously not the lights fault.

Everything 300 blk does well, something else does better. To get that 2400 fps, you're running a 16" bbl, which defeats the point of the gun. You're not fighting your way in to/out of an area requiring supers and using subs in the area to perform a quiet hit with a full auto rifle, which is what 300 was designed for.
300 has worse overpen concerns compared to 5.56, particularly if you miss, so watch your shooting lanes if that's your hd choice.
Meanwhile you're paying 60 cpr for trash ammo so you're shooting less. 300 blk is a trap.

It was the second 1911A1 that was assigned to me, and had a Colt (no horse emblem) slide on it. The pistol’s finish was sort of a weird grey/greenish color. I figured it was Parkerized or something like that.
Rattle like hell, parts from a dozen different pistols, probably.
