Can you Zero an ACOG?

The TA33 ACOG scope is designed to be zeroed at 100 meters using the tip of the Chevron reticle as the point of aim/point of impact (POA/POI). In order for the bullet drop compensator to work correctly, a 100 meter zero should be verified.

What is the ACOG calibrated for?

This 4x32 BAC ACOG scope provides a dual-illuminated reticle using fiber optics and tritium for a bright aiming point in any light condition. The ranging reticle is calibrated for M193 ammunition (5.56, 55gr FMJ, common military surplus) fired from a 16" barrel.

How long does the tritium in an ACOG last?

The tritium illumination has a usable life of 10–15 years. Some versions of the ACOG have an additional daytime reticle illumination via a passive external fiber optic light pipe.

What distance is ACOG good for?

The Trijicon ACOG is a fixed 4x magnification with a 32mm objective lens. Shooting out to 400 yards with this 4x scope is super easy, especially with the crystal clear glass. With the fixed magnification, the ACOG's field of view is over 36 feet at 100 yards.

Are Acogs fixed power?

ACOG stands for Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight. These are fixed power optics that can range from 1.5x to 6x with plenty of options in between.

Trijicon ACOG Truing and Zero Process

Do Acogs come zeroed?

(See Bullet Drop Compensator (BDC) Units section). The TA33 ACOG scope is designed to be zeroed at 100 meters using the tip of the Chevron reticle as the point of aim/point of impact (POA/POI).

Do Acogs hold zero?

The ACOG is known for not holding zero under extreme use and extreme environments. Again, the tritium fiber optics illuminates the reticle so the scope is always on and ready to use.

What ACOG do SEALs use?

One of Trijicon's most popular scopes is the Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight (ACOG). This sight is very popular with Special Forces and SEALs, and it is now being fitted on every rifle carried by the U.S. Marines.

Can ACOG be used for CQB?

ACOG sights? A red dot is perfect for CQB (0 – 100 yards) since it's lighter, faster and easier to use. But if you want to shoot further out (100+ yards) without worrying about batteries, then go for an ACOG.

How many clicks does it take to adjust an ACOG?

Adjustment increments with the ACOG® 3.5x35 are 1/3 inch per click at 100 yards. This means that 3 clicks (4 clicks internal adjusters) are required to move the bullet one inch on the target. To make adjustments remove the adapter cap.

Does tritium glow forever?

Tritium glows less brightly than many lume applications at full charge, but will often be brighter within the first hour as the lume fades. Tritium, however, has a half life of 12 years, meaning after that time half their glow will be gone.

Does tritium ever stop glowing?

The beta radiation from tritium makes the phosphor glow. The half-life of tritium is 12 years so the glow will slowly fade.

Can you use an ACOG at night?

Fully night vision device compatible, the Trijicon 4x32 LED ACOG is also compatible with most other 4x32 ACOG accessories available.

What ACOG does USMC use?

The TA31RCO is an Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight (ACOG) designed for the USMC's M16A4 weapon system (20” barrel). It incorporates dual illumination technology using a combination of fiber optics and self-luminous tritium.

Can ACOG zoom?

Bindon Aiming Concept (BAC): Trijicon ACOG models equipped with BAC allow use of the both-eyes-open aiming method along with scope magnification sighting for rapid target acquisition--in any light.

Is 2x too much for CQB?

In recent years, the military has been equipping personnel with CQB optics that feature greater than 3X magnification. The goal is to give troops the ability to engage and destroy targets out to 1,000 yards. But too much magnification is a big no-no at many law enforcement agencies.

Is ACOG better than EOTech?

Between the two brands, ACOG gets higher marks for durability and longevity. You get higher glass quality, more magnification options, and longer-lasting illumination than EOTech. In case your optic should happen to malfunction or break, you've got a lifetime warranty with ACOG.

What will replace the ACOG?

The NGSW-FC will replace the close combat optic, rifle combat optic and machine gun optic.

Do all Acogs have tritium?

Most ACOG® models are battery free, featuring a tritium/fiber optic illuminated reticle that automatically adjusts the brightness based on available light.

Is ACOG a sniper scope?

The ACOG Scope is a high-powered illuminated scope, useful for applications on DMRs and other stable weapons to improve their effective range. Furthermore, it allows a sniper rifle to excel better in closer-ranged engagements, at the cost of extreme-distance sniping.

How long does an ACOG battery last?

Powered by a single AA battery, the LED ACOG can run for over 12,000 continuous hours (on setting #4). The body has been optimized by moving the RMR mount forward to maximize its performance in conjunction with the ACOG.

Is an ACOG a holographic sight?

While holographic sights fall under the “red dot sight” umbrella, ACOGs are in a class of their own. ACOGs are telescopic sights, with varying degrees of fixed magnification.

Is tritium illegal in the US?
