TRIJICON ACOG

Best Features:

Trijicon ACOG sights are known for their durability and reliability, but they also have several other features that make them popular among shooters:

• Ruggedness: ACOGs are built to take a beating. They’re fogproof, waterproof, and exceed military standards for shock resistance. Whether you’re dropping it, banging it around in the field, or using it on a high-caliber rifle, the ACOG can handle it.
• Bindon Aiming Concept (BAC): This feature allows you to shoot with both eyes open, which increases situational awareness. With a traditional magnified optic, you typically close one eye to aim, which limits your field of view. The BAC reticle allows you to use a chevron or horseshoe aiming point with a center dot. You can focus on the target with both eyes open and use the dot for precise aiming.
• Illumination: ACOGs use a combination of fiber optics and tritium to illuminate the reticle. The fiber optic gathers light from the environment to power the red dot in daylight conditions. In low light or no light situations, the tritium takes over. Tritium is a radioactive isotope that glows continuously for 15 years or more. So, you don’t need batteries to use the ACOG’s sight picture in any lighting condition.
• Glass Clarity: ACOGs use high-quality, multi-coated lenses that provide a clear and bright sight picture. This is especially important for long-range shooting, where you need to be able to see details on your target.
• Bullet Drop Compensation (BDC): Many ACOG reticles include BDC markings. These markings allow you to hold over for bullet drop at different distances, so you can make accurate shots without having to manually adjust your sights.
