The best acog, almost perfect. - Trijicon ACOG TA02 4x32mm Rifle Scope, 32mm Tube

I purchased the Horseshoe Dot Reticle which turned out to be a breeze to use, way better than when I used the fiber/tritium chevron in the Army.

I paired this optic with the KRAM 5.5 Riser which brings it up to about 1.7” (lower 1/3 height), removed my iron sights, and got it to sit perfectly without any issues of eye relief.

Out of the box the reticle was centered perfectly so zeroing was a non issue. Made sure i was hitting paper at 25yds and then brought it out to 100yds to confirm zero. Took no more than 1 hour at the range. Also amazing field of view and clarity that still holds up with its design.

Once Zeroed, I was able to find a range with steel targets from 100-500yds (Frank L. DeSomma Memorial Range at Ben Avery Phoenix), and was dialed in the whole time out to 500yds. Note that I have this set up on a 14.5 BCM ELW BFH Middy with a Polonium K Suppressor, worked like a charm.

The optic itself is also super lightweight, fairly compact even with the battery tray, super bright and crisp illumination settings (which is why it was necessary for living out in the desert). I definitely recommend the horseshoe dot for its ease of use and lack of clutter.

My only gripes are the necessity for an after market riser (night and day difference when you get one) and the specific battery choice (why not use a CR battery?). I now have to purchase 3 different batteries for my kit now (CR123A for my Rifle and Pistol Light, CR2032 for my pistol optic, and now a Lithium AA for the ACOG).
