Every feature of the ACOG's (Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight) mechanical and optical design was designed for use with the M16 family of firearms. This sighting system was engineered for a single purpose; to provide increased hit potential in all lighting conditions - without relying upon failure-prone batteries.
Although the ACOGs have many features which are very advantageous for military use, they're equally well adapted for sporting and tactical applications. These compact telescopic sights are internally adjustable, with tritium illuminated reticles for use in low-light conditions.
This 4x32 ACOG puts adaptability and flexibility into the operator's hands - a necessary edge when the stakes are high, and the terms of engagement are uncertain.
Whether the days work involves precise long-range shot-placement, room-clearing, close-quarters MOUT engagements or high-stress fast-breaking action - sighting through the 4x32 ACOG is comfortable and intuitive. This ACOG's green chevron reticle is calibrated for flat-top firearms in 5.56/.223 - the unique target reference system offers bullet drop hash marks out to 800 meters, and the ability to gauge hold-offs in windy conditions or moving targets. The 4x magnification offers a respectable FOV and the ability to employ the Bindon Aiming Concept for a both-eyes-open technique that greatly enhances the operator's situational awareness.
Trijicon's proprietary tritium/fiber-optic illumination technology provides the chevron with a brilliant green glow. Green illumination allows the human eye to adjust to it quickly and appears bright in low/no-light conditions.
