The Trijicon ACOG is a fixed-power prism scope with an illuminated reticle and, on the dual-illuminated models, no batteries at all — tritium and fibre optics do the work, so the reticle is lit at last light and still holds its own in bright sun. In Britain that combination has found a natural home on straight-pull and service rifle, where a robust fixed magnification and an always-on reticle beat anything that depends on a cell you might have left switched on. At Xtreme Tactical we stock genuine Trijicon ACOG rifle scopes from UK stock.
Fitting one to a straight-pull? See straight-pull rifle optics and our guide to the best optics for a straight-pull AR. Explore more Trijicon in Trijicon Optics, or compare with prism scopes and LPVO rifle scopes. Many ACOG set-ups pair with an offset or piggyback red dot for the close firing points. Everything ships from UK stock with no import fees.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the ACOG use batteries?
Most ACOGs are dual-illuminated: fibre optics gather ambient daylight and tritium takes over as the light goes, with no batteries at all. A few LED models in the range use a battery instead — check the specification on the listing before you order.
What magnification is an ACOG?
Fixed power, commonly 4x32 or 3.5x35, with a BDC reticle calibrated for 5.56 or 7.62 and designed for fast both-eyes-open shooting via the Bindon Aiming Concept. Across Civilian Service Rifle distances of 100 to 600 yards (90 to 550 m) a fixed magnification is a good deal more useful than it first sounds.
What mount does an ACOG need?
ACOGs are supplied with, or take, a Picatinny or Weaver pattern base — which is what an AR-pattern flat-top upper carries. See rifle scope mounts.
