[QUOTE="Jeff In TX, post: 36549, member: 1522"] Froggy, I have many friends who are former US Army and USMC snipers. I've shot, practiced and competed against many of them. Since the US army is moving to the AN/PVS-10 day-night optic, I'd love to know where they mount that ACI. You see I'm not saying that those branches of the arm services don't use ACI, but they are not standard issue. That means in theory they can't not be attached to the USMC M40A1 or A5 rifle. Other than spray paint and a improvised taped cheek piece, that's about the only modification a US marine corp sniper can make to his service weapon. Wow, there some of the best tactical shooters in the world. They've been trained to use simple tools for shooting at angles. Sometimes it's as simple as a $1.00 protractor with a string and fishing weight attached. I sure there are a lot of branches of the service that use the ACI and again, it's probably a great tool. At $89.00 it's just a bit pricy for me and I've been trained using other methods for calculating and shooting angles. You all act as though if you don't have this tool, you can't shoot at angles. That's just BS! Tactical shooters from all walks of life, have done just done just fine over the last 100 years without that ACI. If it works for you that's fantastic. My self and countless others have done just fine without one. I'm sure if I tried it, I'd probably like it, but not at $89.00!
