Trijicon's ADVANCED COMBAT OPTICAL
GUNSIGHTS 4x32, 3.5x35 & 5.5x50 Any Light Aiming Specialist. The
Advanced Combat Optical Gunsights (ACOG) are internally adjustable,
compact telescopic sights with tritium illuminated reticle patterns
designed for use in low light or at night. Bindon Aiming Concept
(BAC)* models feature bright daytime reticles using fiber optics
which collect ambient light. The ACOG's combine traditional, precise
distance marksmanship with close-in aiming speed. Although the ACOGs
have many features which are very advantageous for military use,
they were developed by Trijicon without government funding.
Designed for use with the M16 family
of firearms, every feature of the ACOG's mechanical and optical
design was chosen for a single purpose: to provide increased hit
potential in all lighting conditions - without the use of failure-prone
batteries. Service History The ACOG has set the standard for military
aiming optics.
Trijicon ACOG 4x32 was tested in
the Advanced Combat Rifle (ACR) program conducted by the U.S. Army
in 1989. An ACOG was mounted on the rifle that was used as a benchmark
in the test, and several contractors incorporated the ACOG on their
proposed advanced weapons.
Since its introduction in 1991,
the Trijicon ACOG 3.5x35 has been very popular with users concerned
with combining long range accuracy with quick shot placement on
moving targets. The 3.5x35, the first model available with the advanced
Bindon Aiming Concept (BAC)*, makes this possible.
A special model 4x32 (TA01NSN) was
chosen by the U.S. Special Operation Command (SOCOM) as standard
issue for all Special Forces units including the Green Berets, Navy
Seals, and U.S. Army Rangers. (National Stock Number [NSN] 1240-01-412-6608).
The ACOG went on to be used successfully by U.S. military units
in El Salvador, Panama and Desert Storm. The TA01NSN and TA31 were
used intensively by Special Forces, Marines and the Army in Operation
Anaconda (the War on Terrorism in Afghanistan) and Operation Iraqi
Freedom. ACOGs are currently in use by many federal, state and local
law enforcement agencies as well as in the civilian market. Advantages
BAC* models can be used for botheyes-
open instinctive aiming for faster target acquisition.
For the military, the ACOG combines
the benefits of magnified aiming with a compact and rugged design.
This allows the soldier to selectively take out enemy ground troop
leaders while reducing the likelihood of fratricide.
The ACOG is ideal due to its high
degree of discrimination, even among multiple moving targets.
The ACOG's compact and rugged design
makes it a valuable addition to any rifle. *Bindon Aiming Concept
(BAC) The highly advanced Bindon Aiming Concept is an optical breakthrough
that combines traditional long-stand-off marksmanship capability
with the ultimate in close combat transitional aiming.
Using the both-eyes aiming method,
when the weapon is being moved, the perceived image is unmagnified,
permitting extremely rapid target acquisition. As soon as the weapon
movement is stopped and the shooter is close to the proper aim on
target, the targeted image zooms into magnification, permitting
greater shooting accuracy with higher hit ratios. This is particularly
useful for moving targets or for targets in dense cover. Stronger
by design The ACOG 4x32, 3.5x35 and 5.5x50 have been successfully
tested beyond military requirements.
Tests include exposure to temperature
extremes, salt spray, fog, fungus, humidity, water depth, sand,
dust, shock, vibration and free-fall drop onto a hard surface. It
is designed to withstand an impact of 8000 g's. A perfect match
Although the ACOG is a great addition to virtually any military
or civilian rifle, it's an ideal match for rifles in the M16/AR15
family for which it was originally designed. A hole through the
AR15/M16 integral base permits use of the iron sights without removal
of the scope from the carry handle. Several flattop and other popular
rifle adapters are available. Dependable with high performance The
user does not need to make any special adjustments between shots
at different ranges. Ranging for the 4x32, 3.5x35 and 5.5x50 is
already built into the reticle pattern which is parallax-free along
its vertical axis. The width of the horizontal lines corresponds
to the width of a 19-inch silhouette at that range.
-
Eye-friendly advantage Conventional
riflescopes offer only a tiny exit pupil, requiring careful
eye positioning directly behind the eyepiece. ACOG provides
maximum eye latitude behind the eyepiece for easier target acquisition.
This greater aiming freedom is particularly important in stressful
field situations requiring quick aiming.
-
Multi-coated lenses provide maximum
optical performance.
-
Forged 7075-T6 aircraft aluminum
alloy housing, precision machined to exacting tolerances and
hard-anodized to match the upper and lower receiver of the M16
rifle.
-
Internally adjustable. Because
only the prism housing moves, the ACOG is much more rugged than
conventional designs. Aerospace seals make the ACOG waterproof
to Navy Seal depths.
-
The strongest design.
-
The ultimate scope.
-
Proudly made in the USA.
