Rifle Scopes Browe BCO 4x32 LED 7.62x39

[Guest]

I received my Browe BCO 4x32 LED 7.62x39 glass on Thursday. This is a direct competitor to the Trijicon ACOG and this 7.62x39 version was designed specifically for the SIG 556R 16". It comes with an ARMS #17 QD mount which is a plus. I have it mounted on my SIG 556R and will be taking it to the range today. This 7.62x39 version was just released in March and I got one from the first batch. The SIG 556R along with the Browe BCO and Lapua ammo was ringing steel out to 700+ yards.

Here is some information from OST where I purchased mine from.

We took the SIG 556R out past what is normally accepted for a 7.62x39 rifle proving that a good rifle with good ammunition was capable of greater accuracy than most would expect. The TA33 was and still is a great optic. But I wanted something better. To that end I contacted Brian Browe of Browe Optics and contracted him to make one of his scopes in 7.62x39.

The 4x32 BROWE® Combat Optic (BCO) is a state-of-the-art optic that delivers the best-in-practice features of high-quality optical glass, high precision machining, and rugged military design with unique, next-in-practice features that puts the BROWE® Combat Optic (BCO) at the forefront of its class. The BCO offers customers a modern designed, internally-adjustable, combat optic with many unique features, such as Single Intuitive Control (SIC), Target Light Sensor Technology, field-programmable BCO Microcontroller, and a vibration sensor – all packaged in a rugged and versatile titanium housing.

Initial inevitable comparison to the TA33-R13.

1). BCO Already comes with an ARMS mount, whereas the TA33 comes with an old school screw on mount which is not quickly detached.

2). BCO is extremely light for what it is and is made of titanium, not aluminum. A better comparison would be with the TA02. In fact...picture a TA02 ACOG in 7.62x39 and you have it.

3). Glass is as clear as anything I could ever discern. The optic only weighs 5 oz more than the ACOG, but the objective is bigger (thus easier to use in CQB)...and it is 4X, making long shots far easier than with a 3X.

4). Reticule is easily used. We ran some "ranging" experiments with it and its true to form. I like the "optional illumination" better than constant red or green fiber optic. I can zero with the illumination OFF giving me a far better zero index than with the changing brightness of the fiber optics.

5). Illumination is excellent. The BCO is unaffected by changing light conditions.

That looks fairly cool! I haven't seen any x39 reticles out there til now. I would think it would be pretty close for 300 blk supersonics too. Nice scope.

Just got back from shooting my 556R and Browe BCO x39 for the first time. My range only goes out to 100yds but this thing is dead accurate with brass ammo at 100yds. Now I just need to find somewhere to shoot past 100yds before my SI class in August.
