The Trijicon ACOG 5.5x50 Rifle Scope Chevron .223 BAC Red Reticle (SKU TA55) is a fixed 5.5x magnification, 50 mm objective prism rifle scope with an etched red chevron bullet drop compensating reticle calibrated for .223/5.56, illuminated by fibre optics in daylight and by tritium after dark, with no battery of any kind.
How It Compares
The 5.5x50 is the long-range ACOG: more magnification and a larger objective than the 4x32 service models, on the same battery-free etched-reticle principle. The choice between this and the Trijicon ACOG 5.5x50 rifle scope Chevron .308 BAC red reticle is calibre — the bullet drop stadia below the chevron are cut for .223/5.56 here and for .308/7.62 there.
