I'm going NUTS trying to decide on a magnified optic for my open division rifle. I'm running a red dot on the handguard for close up shots, I just need to decide on a magnified optic.

I'm looking at:

1. Trijicon TA11 ACOG
2. Vortex Viper PST 1-4x
3. Trijicon TR20 3-9x
4. Vortex Viper 2-7x
5. Leupold Mk 4 1.5-5x

Anyone here shoot open? What do you recommend?

I don't shoot open so take this with that in mind. I did run a TA01NSN in Tac Optics for a while and liked it there. If you spend some time working with it, it is easy to hose with (in case your red dot goes down) and great on the long range stuff.

Well I am going nuts for the same reason but for now I have a Trijicon TR22 3-9x40 in a Larue mount on my 18" WOA. I just got this set up and sighted in but not shot a match yet.....

The TR22 is a 2.5-10x.

Do you mean a TR20 3-9x? If so, how do you like it? And what red dot are you running offset?

Sorry I mean TR20-2 and I will someday put a Burris Fast Fire on an offset. Right now I am shooting in Limited with my M4,later thie summer I will shoot new set up in open. So far I like the TR20 but not very bright in dark!

Ended up going with a TA11. Found a great deal on a used one.

Works for that Matt Burkett guy pretty well.
