The Trijicon ACOG 3x30 Rifle Scope Horseshoe/Dot 5.56x45 62gr Dual-Illuminated Red Reticle (SKU TA33-C-400380) is a compact fixed 3x ACOG with a 30 mm objective and a red horseshoe and dot reticle carrying 5.56x45 62gr bullet drop marks, lit by fibre optics in daylight and a tritium lamp after dark with no battery of any kind.
How It Compares
The TA33 is the compact ACOG with usable eye relief — 1.9 in rather than the 1.4 in of the 3x24 — which makes it far easier to live with on a service stock. The horseshoe and dot is the fastest of its reticle patterns: the horseshoe draws the eye at close range and the dot inside it is the precise aiming point. For a finer point of aim on the same body see the red chevron cut for .223 62gr; for a different cartridge the red horseshoe dot for 7.62x39 is cut for 123gr, and the green horseshoe dot for .223 62gr is the green-lamp equivalent of this one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it need batteries?
No — the ACOG reticle is lit by fibre optics in daylight and tritium in the dark. There is nothing to switch on and nothing to run flat.
What calibre is the reticle calibrated for?
5.56x45 NATO with a 62gr bullet. The stadia below the horseshoe are the drop holds for that load.
Where do I aim with a horseshoe and dot?
The dot in the middle of the horseshoe is the aiming point. The horseshoe itself is there to catch the eye quickly at close range.
Does it come with a mount?
Yes — a Trijicon Q-LOC Technology quick-release Picatinny mount, which is removable rather than integrated.
Can I shoot with both eyes open?
Yes — the ACOG is designed around the Bindon Aiming Concept for both-eyes-open shooting at speed.
What warranty does it carry?
Trijicon's Limited Lifetime Warranty. The tritium lamp carries its own multi-year term from date of manufacture.
Is this a genuine Trijicon product?
Yes — factory-new, genuine Trijicon, covered by Trijicon's Limited Lifetime Warranty.
