The Trijicon Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight, or ACOG, stands as a testament to precision engineering and battlefield reliability. As the chosen optic for U.S. Marine Corps and Special Operations Forces, its reputation is built on unmatched durability and performance.
This particular model, the Trijicon ACOG 1.5x16S Scope, offers fixed magnification coupled with an illuminated reticle designed for any lighting condition you might encounter. Dual illumination technology harnesses fiber optics and tritium to ensure that your reticle remains visible without reliance on batteries. Fiber optics adjust brightness based on ambient light while tritium ensures visibility in low-light scenarios.
Despite weighing only 5.1 ounces (without mount), this compact scope is housed in forged 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum alloy—making it virtually indestructible under combat conditions or high-intensity competitive shooting environments. The rugged design of the ACOG provides unparalleled fire control capability when mounted on weapons like the M16/M4 series.
The external windage and elevation adjustments require no tools—a crucial feature when every second counts—and lanyard-secured caps prevent loss during operation.
The included Compact ACOG Mount utilizes Q-LOC Technology crafted from Mil-Spec drop test rated 6061-T6 aluminum ensuring secure attachment to any Mil-Spec or NATO Picatinny rail system. Its spring-loaded mechanism guarantees consistent retention of zero even if knobs are not fully tightened—a critical attribute for maintaining accuracy shot after shot.
A matte black anodized finish offers both aesthetic appeal and additional protection against environmental wear, all proudly made in the USA. Torque specifications allow flexibility: initial tension at Spring Tension Only ranges between 12-16 inch/lbs which can be increased up to a robust range of 44-66 inch/lbs if necessary.
The Trijicon ACOG's proven record in combat settings combined with its user-friendly features makes it an indispensable asset for tactical professionals seeking reliable optical enhancement across various operational landscapes.
