The Trijicon ACOG 3.5x35 Rifle Scope Chevron .223 BAC Green Reticle (SKU TA11F-G) is a fixed 3.5x magnification, 35 mm objective prism rifle scope with an etched chevron bullet drop compensating reticle calibrated for .223/5.56, illuminated in green by fibre optics and tritium with no battery of any kind.
Trijicon designed the ACOG — Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight — for military service, and the features that came out of that programme are the reason the range still sells: the reticle is etched into the prism rather than projected, so it cannot fail; a fibre-optic light pipe along the top of the housing feeds daylight into the reticle and self-adjusts to ambient brightness; and a sealed tritium lamp keeps the same aiming point lit after dark. That heritage is engineering, not marketing — a forged aluminium body, a waterproof seal and nothing to switch on.
Bindon Aiming Concept (BAC): the illuminated reticle is bright enough that, shot with both eyes open, your brain merges the magnified image from the sighting eye with the unmagnified view from the other. You get 3.5x magnification for the shot and something close to 1x situational awareness for everything around it.
Illumination Colour: Green — this configuration is also stocked as the Trijicon ACOG 3.5x35 rifle scope Chevron .223 BAC Red reticle.
How It Compares
The reticle pattern is the choice to make here. This is the Chevron, which gives you a chevron tip as the primary aiming point, which gives a fine, unobstructed point of aim and doubles as a ranging reference. The alternatives on the same 3.5x35 body and the same .223/5.56 calibration are the ACOG 3.5x35 Crosshair Green reticle and the ACOG 3.5x35 Horseshoe/Dot Green reticle. If your rifle is chambered in .308/7.62 instead, the same Chevron reticle is calibrated for it as the ACOG 3.5x35 Chevron .308 BAC Green reticle. A shorter, lighter fixed-power ACOG is the Trijicon ACOG 4x32 rifle scope, and for a magnified optic that runs on a battery-powered illuminated reticle instead, browse the wider prism scope range. See the whole range in Trijicon ACOG rifle scopes, the optics for straight-pull rifles and full Trijicon optics range, or read our guide to prism scopes and Trijicon buyer's guide.
Ideal For
- Civilian Service Rifle and practical rifle shooting on a straight-pull AR-pattern rifle in .223/5.56
- Straight-pull carbine work from gallery distances out to 300 m, where one fixed 3.5x magnification has to cover both ends
- Shooters who want an optic with no battery to check, charge or replace before a shoot or a stalk
- Airsoft and milsim builds replicating an issued rifle, where the ACOG is the recognisable optic

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Trijicon ACOG 3.5x35 need batteries?
No — the Trijicon ACOG 3.5x35 rifle scope is battery-free. A fibre-optic light pipe along the top of the housing collects ambient daylight and feeds it into the etched reticle, and a sealed tritium lamp illuminates the same reticle in darkness, so there is no battery to fit, replace or find flat.
What is the Bindon Aiming Concept (BAC) on a Trijicon ACOG?
The Bindon Aiming Concept (BAC) is Trijicon’s name for shooting an illuminated ACOG with both eyes open. The reticle is bright enough that the brain favours the magnified sighting eye for the aiming point while still using the unmagnified view from the other eye, so you keep close-range speed and situational awareness at 3.5x magnification.
Which calibre is this ACOG reticle calibrated for — .223 or .308?
This Trijicon ACOG 3.5x35 (TA11F-G) is calibrated for .223/5.56: the bullet drop compensating stadia below the chevron aiming point correspond to that cartridge. The same chevron reticle is offered calibrated for .308/7.62 as the ACOG 3.5x35 Chevron .308 BAC Green reticle.
What is the eye relief on the Trijicon ACOG 3.5x35?
The Trijicon ACOG 3.5x35 has 2.4 in (61 mm) of eye relief, which is generous for a prism optic and gives room for a firm cheek weld behind a .308 or .223 rifle.
What happens to the aiming point if the illumination is not visible?
The reticle is etched into the prism glass rather than projected, so the full chevron aiming point and its bullet drop stadia remain black and usable against a bright background even when the tritium and fibre-optic illumination is not contributing.
Should I choose red or green illumination on the ACOG?
Both are the same reticle and the same calibration; only the illumination colour differs. Red tends to read more naturally against green vegetation and preserves dark adaptation, while green is the brighter colour to the human eye in daylight. This one is green — the ACOG 3.5x35 Chevron Red reticle is the alternative, and our guide to green versus red illumination covers the difference in more detail.
