Code's Review of Trijicon 1.5x16mm Compact ACOG Rifle Scope
I scratched my head at the thought of a 1.5x optic- decided to give it a go, and glad I did. The 1.5x is extremely fast for CQB, yet the extra boost in magnification can lend to target ID. Running an ACOG boosts confidence that your optic can go ham and back and stay zeroed. Fiber optics, tritium, and an etched reticle all complement eachother in various lighting conditions. Some claim looking into a lit area from a dark area has serious wash out- I find these claims over-hyped, and can work through this situation no problem, maybe just milliseconds lost, thanks to the etched reticle. If you are not 100% confident with dealing with potential washout perhaps consider the addition of offset irons. I choose the green reticle since I favor that contrast in desert environment. When in the dark the tritium is well lit, almost as if you are looking through a battery powered reticle on lower mid-range; seems turbocharged over my TA31 for some reason. I contempated this vs the ACSS reticle. I liked the concept of the ACSS but ended up choosing the circle dot, as the ACSS reticle is BDC calibrated for M193 out of a 16” barrel, and my intented use for this optic is for targets 200 meters and in out of a 10.3 URG-I MK18. I am happy with this choice and have found the circle dot extremely fast and easy to pick up. The eye box and relief seem generous, much more than advertised. Field of view is impressive for such a small scope. Did I mention how lightweight and compact this ACOG is?
