And I've never fired with an ACOG, I just want to try it sometime. That and I'll take any excuse to get as much trigger time as possible on Uncle Sam's dime.

Yeah, I guess that makes a difference too.

From what I saw on the range (we just got the CCO's and ACOG's for this deployment) was that the CCO's helped those that had problems keeping a consistent sight picture most.
My score stayed about the same (35) I generally shoot between a 34 and 37.
Problem for me was the 200's actually!

FYI easiest way to sight in the CCO is to first zero the iron sights, then while keeping a good sight picture, "lollipop" the front sight post with the red dot and center it with the rear iron sight.
3 rounds to zero iron sights, 3 to zero the CCO.
