Why Replacing Your Scope With An ACOG Makes Sense
The original Trijicon ACOG magnifying rifle sight was introduced 25 years ago and is still a strong seller. This is a highly competitive market with highly discriminating customers like the US Army, Marine Corps, SOCOM, British Army and Israeli Defence Forces. Trijicon won by coming up with an ultra rugged sight with brilliant optical quality that would mount on almost any current weapon and would provide both instant aiming at close range targets and precision aimed fire at greater ranges. Trijicon came up with the 'Bindon Aiming Concept' that puts an illuminated aiming point on the target with both eyes open aiming. Trijicon revolutionised rapid sighting with their Bindon Aiming Concept, putting an illuminated aiming mark directly on the target for both eyes open shooting. This mark is available in different shapes for different applications in up to four colors. It can be combined with ranging, ballistically compensated reticles to cover the full spectrum of ranges out to the envelope of the .50BMG cartridge.
What does that mean to you as a hunter? Ever more hunters are reaping the benefits of military optics enabling binocular vision shooting out to their humane killing distance. A lot of hunting is done at very close ranges - for example turkey hunting and deer hunting in back woods. In these circumstances sheer precision takes a distant third place to fast target acquisition and shot placement. Cross hairs are easily lost against the clutter in the dim light that typically prevails under the forest canopy. A low magnification reflex sight like the Trijicon TA44SR-10 offers the benefits of the rapid target acquisition of a red dot sight with the magnification to discriminate targets in dense underbrush. You put the aiming mark on the turkey's neck and squeeze the trigger removing the urge to lift your head to find the turkey's head and sending your pattern clear over it's head.
Most modern bottlenecked hunting cartridges let you aim straight on on a deer out to 250 yards. More deer are taken at less than 100 yards than a lot of shooters will credit - hence the enduring popularity of the .30-30 and .45-70 cartridges. However, there will be times when you'll want to take a longer shot. The last thing you want when that deer finally appears is to wonder if you've dialled in the right direction or started from zero. Whilst scopes are available that overcome some of these objections, it's a lot easier to just lift the muzzle slightly to put the right aiming mark on the target. Whilst these marks are set up for the M855 5.56X45mm and M80 7.62X51mm rounds, you can easily test shoot to see where your own loads hit relative to the aiming marks out to the maximum range at which you would take deer.
The intermediate magnification ACOGs like the ACOG TA33-8 make a superb coyote shooting system when combined with an AR15 rifle with a good trigger. Once again you have the bindon aiming concept providing rapid target acquisition and centring with both eyes open shooting, backed by stadia to take longer range shots with confidence. These sights can be retrofitted or, with the ACOG TA01NSN-RMR for example come with a top mounted red dot sight for very close, fleetingly exposed targets that can appear in coyote shooting. Higher magnification models make great mid range varmint shooting sights, enabling shots on target without continually dialling in. The ACOG's relatively low magnification and great optics will keep it shooting long after your high powered varmint scope has become useless due to low light.
Trijicon's killflash (optional on most models and standard on some military units) prevents any possibility of objective lens glint spooking your deer.
AGOGs don't need batteries - Bindon Aiming Concept models use fiber-optic light gathering to illuminate their reticles in daylight and a tritium light source for night illumination.
Finally, the ACOG is ultimately rugged. Provided it is mounted on a sturdy base, it will not lose zero. Once taken off it will repeat to within 1 MOA. Designed for military use, the ACOG will resist exposure to everything nature can throw at it including water pressure down to 80ft. It could be that you waited years and payed a small fortune for that hunting opportunity. You don't want your investment wasted by the failure of a fragile, fair weather optical instrument. The ACOG is the magnifying sight of choice of the armed forces of the western world. Civilian hunters have long assimilated the best of military technology, the Mauser and AR15 actions, the .30-06, .308 and .223 cartridges, VHF radio, 4x4 vehicles and GPS. Moving to ultra rugged magnifying reflex sights is the next step in a long tradition.
