Reviews & Ratings for Trijicon ACOG 4x32 Red Triangle Reticle Rifle Scope — 4 reviews — Page 1

If you have an AR that has a non-removable carry handle, and want a 4 power optic to use on the rifle, which will be as a close height over bore (HOB) as possible, then consider this ACOG. You can buy a MUCH cheaper alternative if you install a picatinny rail on top of the carry handle, and then mount an optic on top of the rail, which may significantly increase the HOB ratio, depending on the size of that optic. The higher the optic mounting, the more the bullet's trajectory deviates from a straight line at different distances. That’s why I bought my particular ACOG. CAVEAT: While the ACOG has a battle tested lineage that spans decades, and is an exemplary optic, it may cost as much or more than your AR-15. But if you can afford it, I highly recommend the purchase. This is my second one. Admittedly, the tritium reticle may begin to fade after 10 years or more, but for daylight shooting, that is not an issue. I highly recommend this optic that installs easily into the channel on top of the AR 15‘s A2 carry handle.

Craftsmanship is excellent, sight is bright, comes packed in a nice case, with all the proper paperwork. Only downside is sight picture seems small. Shipping was not really a problem and item came intact with no damage.

I'll make this short and sweet: the glass is very clear with no distortion at any edge, the field of view is large, the scope isn't too heavy but it doesn't feel cheap either, the reticle and drop subtensions/stadia are crisp, clear, and well illuminated in all light, the triangle combines the best of quick aiming with a larger "dot-like" shape while using the triangle tip for precision when needed, and the thing is practically bomb-proof with Trijicon CS backing you up if you need them. One thing: eye relief is limited, but if used on an AR, having your nose up at the charging handle puts it in the perfect spot and is my preferred head placement anyway. Summed up: I love this optic like I've never loved an optic before.
