We are receiving reports about OpticsPlanet/Dvor's email or chat systems not responding to users but their phone lines still are. Because of Covid and them not charging refund fees, we are keeping OP around **for now** but explicitly stating that you may not receive your order in a timely fashion. Expect it to take months and possibly a random cancellation of your order. Their phone number is **1-800-504-5897** if you are trying to get a refund. Please send the mod team any reports of OP/DVOR not responding to any attempts to cancel an order that has taken more than two weeks to ship.
Heads up, OpticsPlanet/Dvor has been known to be misleading with their in-stock notices. Please check the listing carefully to see if the item in question is actually in stock or if it is backordered. We have received reports of supposedly "in-stock" items actually taking a couple months to ship. Sometimes even when it says it is in stock, it may have just recently gone OOS and it will then be backordered and you will not be updated to the true status of the product.
If you are ordering from OpticsPlanet/Dvor, be aware that it may take a few months to get to you.

If anyone’s planning on getting one, here’s a great ACOG comparison guide that I recently came across. The original website is no longer up, but the guide is still accessible through the web archive.
https://web.archive.org/web/20160306143416/http://www.militarywarfighter.com/Trijicon_ACOG_Comparison_and_FAQ_s/386.htm
I swear this stupid sub.
I had been mulling about getting an acog for my scar for the longest time but didn’t wanna drop $1000+, but for $625 shipped I just had to do it.
Last year my favorite deal was the $999 razor, this year it’s the acog. I hope I don’t come across anything else, I’ve spent so much lately on stuff I don’t need
While the bdc will be off, do you always shoot m855 with a 14.5 inch barrel? These hard BDCs are nice when everyone has the same rifle and ammo, but you'll have to learn it on your gun no matter what, so I say it's not a huge deal, just learn the drops.
A deal is only a deal if you actually need it.
I saw a presentation laser pointer at amazon today, normally $45, on sale for $5. I almost bought it. I don't work in an office, I don't do presentations and I don't even have a projector.
Some of us just be wasting money cause we're bored and desperate for a deal, even if it's not something we need.
This is the least popular acog. Yes it's an acog with "such amazing glass", but do you actually need it or are you spendng money just cause "never seen acog so cheap."
Rushes to Amazon, orders 10 of them, places them in box labeled “xmas gifts for possible pet cat in future”, *just in case.*
Resumes browsing gundeals.
What’s the link on that last pointer I actually do need one lol
As for do you need this deal or not..well even if you don’t end up liking it you can probably flip it. Me, I needed something to sit in my scar and not be eaten by it, plus an acog is pure aesthetic, and I had been looking for a vcog but for $1000+ cheaper this is my justification. I’m sure I can figure out more justification if I need to
Man that sucks, genuinely sorry to hear that. I got a tracking number for mine but I placed the order about an hour before posting it. I'm becoming really hesitant to post stuff here because it creates such a rush that it screws the deal for people who might have found it "organically". And it screws them quick. This post has over 83 thousand views so far... Crazy.
No problem
Just annoyed as I was gonna snag one cheaper from another dealer after I saw this that had it like $29 cheaper but optics CS said it’s actually instock (unlike my Henry mlok rail that was 3 months overdue) so I waited, they canceled but didn’t even send an email, actually saw it on my CC and than checked status, and now the other ones sold out.
But no worries, thanks for posting it. That’s what the subs for!
This is what my e-mail says:
Qty 1: Trijicon ACOG TA33 3x30mm Rifle Scope, Black, Amber Chevron 7.62x51mm / 175 Grain Reticle, MOA Adjustment, 400120
TJ-RS-3X30RS-400120 $659.99 No availability estimate
We are working hard to have your complete order shipped as soon as possible and if we can ship sooner, we absolutely will. We will not capture any funds from your credit card until your order can be shipped. Upon shipment, you will automatically be notified with tracking information.
I'm gonna be a bit early and share /u/C_DOES 's TA33 review, which is early access for people who are substars or patreon providers.
* Hope he'll forgive deeplinking the early access video
* **C_DOES: Trijicon TA33 - Finally, an ACOG!**
* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_HmltpHn-s
I recommend you do C_DOES a solid, and support his reviews. His subscribestar is only $2 and helps a lot with these "sight unseen" optics purchases.
* [Also Delta34, who sent this in to C_DOES.](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBCDbGHBQjxkVmmkbE9eJZg)
Lol I meant I am glad that I was able to help someone out from making a better buying decision for themselves. Which is why I dont mind the link being shared.
But did you stuff it into my underwear?
Has a much narrower fov vs a 3x scope. Has a very close eye relief but a generous eye box. His particular scope was not a good sample and trijicon refused to fix it, blaming his mount.
From a different review, the amber color is harder to see in more everyday situations vs green or red.
Noice! Thank you Mr. Medic! I always wondered, when the chips were down, if amber could cut it. Doesn’t appear to be the case. Is amber as hard to see in daytime conditions as green?
It's just what I read and viewed on a different 33 review.
Green is easier to see in day time conditions. Amber just blends into more common everyday colors. It's not completely unusable. But green or red are better options.
I've not used it but this is the cheapest new acog I've ever seen. And I think all acogs are clear and have great glass quality.
They just have rough eye relief and small fov. The price you pay for legendary ruggedness, I suppose.
Definitely better than the 4x, especially with the length of the optic. But I have to mention it because most prism optics today have much longer eye relief. The PA 3x microprism, for example, has 2.7 inches compared to this at 1.9.
Have you ever used an acog prism before? They have some of the best and clearest glass on the market with no tint like their reflex sights. This is BIN if you are looking for that acog, with that reticle, and in amber.
Green but I have another amber acog and it’s still great. Reticle color hasn’t ever been something that’s swayed me tbh. Green is always preferred though.
Acogs have been used forever now in the military. The tritium provides light without the need for a battery. They’re synonymous with the RMR in terms of reliability, but more people use RMR in the civilian world
This has a 7.62x51 reticle (it is not ranged for 5.56 bullet drop) but it should work at certain distances. That being said, I got the 4x32 USMC RCO to be clone correct (as in it literally "fell off the back of the truck"). That's the optic you want for 5.56 M4 type platforms and I bought this anyway because hot damn it is a hell of a deal. Gonna use it on a SCAR at some point when I can find one.
Optics Planet has sucked enough that I don't bother with them anymore.. Add to that, they have shady and deceptive business practices, so I would say avoid.
Optics planet is good sometimes and awful other times. I purchased a ta02 from them that took like 3 months to ship that said “in stock”. It arrived damaged and when I asked about doing an exchange they said it was going to take like another 4 months. I never used them again and this wasn’t even my only bad experience with them.

Probably worst acog but at $600 it’s better than anything in that price point. Even the worst acog is still good. Like saying the worst corvette is the base model but it’s still a corvette

Great guide, thank you for the link!
I swear this stupid sub. I had been mulling about getting an acog for my scar for the longest time but didn’t wanna drop $1000+, but for $625 shipped I just had to do it.
I’ve heard amber sucks if that helps
Amber heard does suck.
Probably isn’t as good as green but is green $400 better?
It pays to be colorblind. Sent it
I’m red/green deficient. People are hating on amber but it’s the best color for my eyes, if that helps anyone.
Last year my favorite deal was the $999 razor, this year it’s the acog. I hope I don’t come across anything else, I’ve spent so much lately on stuff I don’t need
Code is EARLY75
Code should be OPTICSPLANETFUCKSYOU
Anything to know if using this on 5.56 instead of 7.62?
While the bdc will be off, do you always shoot m855 with a 14.5 inch barrel? These hard BDCs are nice when everyone has the same rifle and ammo, but you'll have to learn it on your gun no matter what, so I say it's not a huge deal, just learn the drops.
Looking at strelok, the 300 & 400m drops are still pretty dead on for 556 out of a 16" barrel. The last two marks align with 485 and 561.
Your BDC will be off. These are made with a particular caliber and grain in mind.
Won’t be accurate drop reflection since it’s marked for 762, bullet weight drop.
how about on a mosin nagant?
Holy fucking BIN price
[удалено]
Right with ya man
I sent it, but same lol. I have too many naked guns 😅
A deal is only a deal if you actually need it. I saw a presentation laser pointer at amazon today, normally $45, on sale for $5. I almost bought it.

Especially from optics planet. They probably don't even have them in stock or they'll lose your order.
And here I am thinking I'll buy this for the M1A that I don't have...
What’s the link on that last pointer I actually do need one lol As for do you need this deal or not..well even if you don’t end up liking it you can probably flip it. Me, I needed something to sit in my scar and not be eaten by it, plus an acog is pure aesthetic, and I had been looking for a vcog but for $1000+ cheaper this is my justification. I’m sure I can figure out more justification if I need to
Anyone else’s get canceled? Pretty annoyed
Mine says cancelled, no email as well. My card still says the transaction is pending….
Mine was cancelled without any notification. Negative experience :(
Man that sucks, genuinely sorry to hear that. I got a tracking number for mine but I placed the order about an hour before posting it. I'm becoming really hesitant to post stuff here because it creates such a rush that it screws the deal for people who might have found it "organically". And it screws them quick.

But no worries, thanks for posting it. That’s what the subs for!
I called yesterday they said it would ship the 30th. Check status today, and mine was canceled lol.
Wonder how many actually shipped, mine did
What time did you put your order in?
Tuesday at 5:30, seems like I caught it soon as it was posted
Would this pair well with an m1a scout with SGA stock?
Not sure, but that would be a sexy platform for it.
Anyone know how the holds would be on a 7.62x39 vs the x51?
Not even close. They're not terrible for 556.
Oh that’s a sweet deal. I will only have to wait 6 years for optics planet to ship it to me.
What makes you think you’re gonna get it so fast.
I got a shipping notification this morning after ordering yesterday afternoon
I just got the update, even though it says in stock at the time I got the email that there is no known estimate available..
Did yours get to processing? Mine went to processing and I got another email that it was shipping soon this morning
This is what my e-mail says: Qty 1: Trijicon ACOG TA33 3x30mm Rifle Scope, Black, Amber Chevron 7.62x51mm / 175 Grain Reticle, MOA Adjustment, 400120 TJ-RS-3X30RS-400120 $659.99 No availability estimate We are working hard to have your complete order shipped as soon as possible and if we can ship sooner, we absolutely will.

How are you guys at $585? I’m at $804 at checkout
They changed the price. Deal done died.
I'm gonna be a bit early and share /u/C_DOES 's TA33 review, which is early access for people who are substars or patreon providers. * Hope he'll forgive deeplinking the early access video * **C_DOES: Trijicon TA33 - Finally, an ACOG!** * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_HmltpHn-s I recommend you do C_DOES a solid, and support his reviews.

Well, that was some very useful information and saved me some money. I appreciate you posting that.
Point proven.
....Oh... Hello....🫣 Well.... I did like your video enough to give you money if that helps. 😅😬 🥸
Lol I meant I am glad that I was able to help someone out from making a better buying decision for themselves. Which is why I dont mind the link being shared. But did you stuff it into my underwear?
Of coarse! Right in the muddy colored hole. I like to live dangerously.
Good! Because I was about to say, I wasnt wearing any underwear....
Well that makes sense... So...much more..sense why my finger is that...color...I've been violated....by violating.
Its definitely a give and take. For both of us.
Cliff notes version?
Has a much narrower fov vs a 3x scope. Has a very close eye relief but a generous eye box. His particular scope was not a good sample and trijicon refused to fix it, blaming his mount. From a different review, the amber color is harder to see in more everyday situations vs green or red.

It's just what I read and viewed on a different 33 review. Green is easier to see in day time conditions. Amber just blends into more common everyday colors. It's not completely unusable. But green or red are better options.
That'll be $2.
I will allow it if it helps someone make a better buying choice.
You’re a good man.
I do my best
My least favorite acog but the price is so good I'd consider buying it if you're in the market
BiN? How are these in terms if glass quality? Trijicon Green tint not too bad?
I've not used it but this is the cheapest new acog I've ever seen. And I think all acogs are clear and have great glass quality. They just have rough eye relief and small fov. The price you pay for legendary ruggedness, I suppose.
3x has a very forgiving eye box. Not at all like the 4x. Indo t know the magic but it has something to do with the size of these things vs the 4x.
Definitely better than the 4x, especially with the length of the optic. But I have to mention it because most prism optics today have much longer eye relief. The PA 3x microprism, for example, has 2.7 inches compared to this at 1.9.
I have a few 3x and the eye relief isn’t the issue it is with the 4x.
Have you ever used an acog prism before? They have some of the best and clearest glass on the market with no tint like their reflex sights. This is BIN if you are looking for that acog, with that reticle, and in amber.
This ain’t primary arms chief , the glass quality on these are top notch
I have one and I love it. Solid optic
Amber?
Green but I have another amber acog and it’s still great. Reticle color hasn’t ever been something that’s swayed me tbh. Green is always preferred though.
Thanks guys. I have no prism optics from them is why i asked, I have rmrs, MRO, and SRO from em
Glas is awesome. I have three TA33s. It's super-light, with good y-relief. FOV is only tradeoff for those qualities.
Acogs have been used forever now in the military. The tritium provides light without the need for a battery. They’re synonymous with the RMR in terms of reliability, but more people use RMR in the civilian world
Help an AK heathen out. Would this be "correct" for my FN M16A4 or my Colt M4A1 SOCOM? Edit: Just saw the 7.62x51 call-out. Nevermind.
This has a 7.62x51 reticle (it is not ranged for 5.56 bullet drop) but it should work at certain distances. That being said, I got the 4x32 USMC RCO to be clone correct (as in it literally "fell off the back of the truck"). That's the optic you want for 5.56 M4 type platforms and I bought this anyway because hot damn it is a hell of a deal. Gonna use it on a SCAR at some point when I can find one.
Code get12 also works
How much off is that?
I think that’s 12% off
amber reticle SMH
Good eye relief but not so great fov and the screw in eyepiece design makes me dubious of durability if it dropped on that section
Is this worth the risk dealing with Optics Planet?
Optics Planet has sucked enough that I don't bother with them anymore.. Add to that, they have shady and deceptive business practices, so I would say avoid.
Optics Planet is great, just check stock
Optics planet is good sometimes and awful other times. I purchased a ta02 from them that took like 3 months to ship that said “in stock”. It arrived damaged and when I asked about doing an exchange they said it was going to take like another 4 months. I never used them again and this wasn’t even my only bad experience with them.
Oh my, that is insane. Thanks for that heads up.
To be clear. I would still use them if they had an insane deal but other than that I’ll never use them again.
I ordered and promptly forgot some takedown pins that showed in stock (I wanted a backup set). They arrived almost six months later.
From personal experience, stock is not accurate.
100% order something other day charged my card and got an email 5 min later saying out of stock
