looking for some opinions on Trijicon 4x ACOGs

[Dench]

i picked up my flattop m4 style bushmaster today, and i wanted to get a ACOG for it. ive seen infantry use it before, and i dont remember hearing to many complaints about it.
http://www.trijicon.com/user/parts/products1.cfm?PartID=481&back_row=4&categoryID=3
this is the one that they use if i can remember correctly. this would be the marine corps m4 version of it. the price on the trijicon website says $1,450 which is on the high side.
however http://www.opticsplanet.net/trijicon-ta31rco-m4-acog-4x32-usmc-sight-m4-w-ta51-mount.html has it for about $1,230. does anyone have any experiance in getting optics from this website? does anyone know where i could go to maybe even get one in person?
anyhelp greatly appreciated, i want to get the iron sights as backup only, and not my primary way to aim

great optic had one in the sand box and i loved it ive heard of the website before but never ordered anything so i guess this is useless to you

the infantry guys that were stationed in kosovo had them, but the combat engineers were stuck with the iron sights..
now its my turn i think to get one

Hey, long time lurker here, thought I'd chime in on opticsplanet. I don't know much about this particular ACOG, but I've dealt with Opticsplanet before and I've never had a problem. Their prices are the lowest I've found and their customer service folks are know their stuff. I would definately recommend buying from them. They helped me pick out my newest pair of hunting binoculars and I was very pleased with the result. They carry a lot of cheap optics but they also carry a lot of high end, quality optics as well. The leupold selection is pretty good. Hope this helps.

I bought my ACOG from www.swfa.com off their Sample List site. Good deals and certainly no complaints about the ACOG.
