Crashm Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 I have just ordered an lmt mws 308. Does anyone have an opinion on the acog ta 648 as the optic for this rifle? What about the acog ta 55? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 no opinions on the optic but congrads on your rifle order <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 So, the 648 is a 6x scope with a BDC hash based on the .223 round, out to 800 meters. That is an M16A4 optic, right there, for someone in an SDM role. MSRP is $2.6k bones, too.The TA55 is also a 5.56-gun scope, but the TA-55A has a reticle for a .308 gun. Details, when ordering, are everything. Both those scopes MSRP at about $1,950. As I see it, based on your choices, the only available option that will work with the gun you ordered is the TA-55A.Did you research this, or just ask a general question? I'm just curious.

Crashm Posted July 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I know that the British army is using the acog ta 648 as the scope for this rifle. I have never actually seen one, but i have found that they can be bought used for around $1300.00. I have seen and held the ta 55 and they can be bought new for around $1300.00. I have never used either of these scopes and was wondering what others thought of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Wow, man, that's a serious discount, even for used! That would be a hard deal to pass up.I didn't know the Brits were using that optic on their L129s, but they've got to be doing it for a reason. I've used a 5.56-specific BDC scope on my .308 while I was waiting on the primary optic to go on sale, and the BDC hashes were nowhere close at distances over 300 yards.That info changes the game a little, right there. If you can snag one for $1300, it would definitely be worth it to do so, just to try. If it doesn't work for what you want, you could still sell it for the same that you paid, and not be out anything. Or, that's a really good reason to build up a nice 18" or 20" AR-15. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreers Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 negetive batman, the ta648 bdc is based of the m118 ball ammo. but your spot on with it being on at 300yrds. After that the bdc is like all the rest, you have to find to use hold over. I didn't mind paying full price but I expected the bdc to work as advertised and for the price it should. I spoke to Tri and they sent me some bullistic tables they say was used for development. They stated the ta648 bdc is based on the .308 round. I was currently doing some load testing to find a middle of the load round at mag length but am currently recovering from a tough shoulder surgery. any information please let me know.

loridah Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 I am still wondering if you can reload for this rifle or not. If any of you know, please let me know. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 I am still wondering if you can reload for this rifle or not. If any of you know, please let me know. Thanks.It would be just like reloading for any other semi-auto .308 AR platform rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loridah Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 It would be just like reloading for any other semi-auto .308 AR platform rifle. So, in other words, NO. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 try looking in the reloading section, there is plenty of info there and people to reference who do successfully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 So, in other words, NO. Thanks.People reload for .308 semi-autos ALL the time. What's not working for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt.Cross Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 People reload for .308 semi-autos ALL the time. What's not working for you?I'm wondering the same as well... based on comments in other threads factory ammo works fine for him, but fired brass apparently doesn't work well. It's not clear to me whether he means fired brass from that gun's chamber, or fired brass from a different rifle. In any case, that's gotta be one very tight chamber to be so finicky. <dontknow> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired JM Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Either that, or he's only neck sizing the fired brass instead full-length sizing the entire case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zumabob1957 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Martin Rettins has a load of these ta648. They are 1300.00 the last I saw . Great glass but to heavy. Talked to two guys from the army and they use these on their machine guns . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 if you can find out if that is the true price on those there please verify, that is an outstanding deal <munch> , not that i'm in the market but i would consider buying one for a deal that good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty44 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I load for three 308 Win rifles. Two bolt actions and the DPMS. Fired casings from one of the bolts and the AR do fine in all three rifles with neck resizing. Fired casings from the other bolt will work in all three rifles but: In the other bolt it is necessary to force the bolt closed. The AR seems to have enough force from the BCG to close and lock. I do not use fired brass from the first rifle in the other two (except for the minimal experimentation to determine what would work) because I do not want to have problems at the range and am nervous about what the tight fit may mean. I have purchased several kinds of gauges to check the chambers but need fired casings from each rifle. Currently that is not possible. Otherwise, neck sizing is sufficient as long as I keep the brass separated into two groups.For my new M-15 I have bought a Hornady two-die full-length resizing & loading set. I have not had an opportunity to shoot this new rife and have not yet opened the package of dies. Or bought components for reloading.

FAAWrenchBender Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 I am still wondering if you can reload for this rifle or not. If any of you know, please let me know. Thanks. I know this post is old,......but what is this guy talking about? If one is lacking this basic knowledge about reloading, he should steer clear!
