Who's This For?

This compact rifle scope excels in the hands of experienced tactical professionals who demand precision and reliability in dynamic environments. Military operators, law enforcement officers, and competitive shooters consistently choose the TA33 for its superior eye relief and forgiving eyebox, making it ideal for a range of shooting positions and equipment configurations. The scope's 3x magnification strikes the perfect balance for engagements from 5 to 400 meters, while its battery-free illumination system ensures consistent performance in critical situations.

However, this tactical optic may not suit beginners or casual shooters seeking versatility. The TA33's narrow 19.3-foot field of view and specialized reticle require training to master effectively. Shooters who prefer variable magnification or are uncomfortable with fixed-power optics should consider alternatives, as the scope's combat-oriented design prioritizes durability over user-friendly adjustments.

Key Features

Dual Illumination System — Never requires batteries with tritium/fiber optic technology providing 15+ years of automatic brightness adjustment for consistent reticle visibility in all lighting conditions from dawn to dusk.

Superior Eye Relief — Exceptional 3.5-inch practical eye relief enables comfortable shooting from multiple positions without compromising sight picture, making this compact rifle scope ideal for dynamic tactical scenarios.

Trijicon Q-LOC Mount Technology — One-handed, tool-free mounting system maintains zero retention even without tightening knobs through a at rapid target acquisition thanks tospring-loaded design rated for military drop tests.

Bindon Aiming Concept (BAC) — Both-eyes-open shooting capability maintains situational awareness while providing magnified precision for seamless transitions between close and distant targets.

Broadband Multi-Coated Optics — Advanced lens coatings maximize light transmission and eliminate distortion for crystal-clear target identification in challenging environments.

Lightweight Tactical Design— Only 9.8 ounces, including mount, delivers professional-grade performance without adding bulk to your best tactical scope setup.

The Expert Says

Strengths: This compact rifle scope excels in rapid target acquisition with its exceptional 3.5-inch practical eye relief and forgiving eyebox design. The battery-free dual illumination system provides consistent reticle visibility for over 15 years, while the lightweight 9.8-ounce construction with Q-LOC mounting maintains tactical mobility. Expert reviews consistently praise its durability under extreme conditions and superior performance in dynamic shooting scenarios where traditional ACOGs struggle.

Limitations: The narrow 19.3-foot field of view at 100 yards significantly restricts peripheral vision compared to other tactical scopes. Adjustment-tracking irregularities have been documented in independent testing, with some units exhibiting inconsistent windage and elevation movements. The 3x magnification, while optimal for close-to-medium range, limits effectiveness beyond 400 meters, where higher magnification becomes essential for precise target identification.

FAQ

Does the TA33 have the same eye relief issues as other ACOG models?
No, the TA33 offers superior eye relief compared to 4x ACOG models, with approximately 3.5 inches of usable eye relief, making it much more forgiving for varied shooting positions.

Why is the field of view so narrow on this compact rifle scope?
The TA33's narrow 19.3-foot field of view is designed for precision targeting, but using both eyes open with the BAC technique provides unlimited peripheral vision awareness.

Do the adjustment turrets track properly for zeroing?
ACOG turrets require a firm tap after adjustments to seat the erector mechanism properly. This is a regular operation and not a defect or tracking issue.

How long does the tritium illumination last before replacement?
The tritium illumination is warranted for 15 years from the manufacture date, with replacement costs ranging from $300 to $600, depending on the scope condition and required components.

Is the Q-LOC mounting system compatible with standard Picatinny rails?
Yes, the Q-LOC mount is compatible with all Mil-Spec and NATO Picatinny rails, providing tool-free installation with spring-loaded retention that maintains zero.

Will this tactical scope work well for close-quarters shooting?
Yes, the 3x magnification and excellent eye relief make it suitable for CQB applications, especially when paired with the included RMR red dot sight.

What warranty coverage applies to combat or duty use damage?
The lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects but excludes damage from combat, accidents, or abnormal use, with repairs available at standard service rates.

Can I mount this scope on older AR-15 carry handle receivers?
Older TA33 models had single mounting holes for carry handles, while newer models require the Q-LOC mount system designed for Picatinny rails.
