Leveraging Military Technology In Optics

For 25 years Trijicon have been building up their range of magnifying reflex sights.  Given the choice of the world's magnifying combat optics, the US Army and Marine Corps, British Army and Israeli Defence forces opted for the Trijicon ACOG.  Trijicon won by coming up with an ultra rugged sight with excellent optical quality that would mount on almost any current weapon and would provide both instant aiming at close range targets and precision aimed fire at greater ranges. Trijicon came up with the 'Bindon Aiming Concept' that puts an illuminated aiming mark on the target with both eyes open aiming. Trijicon revolutionised rapid sighting with their Bindon Aiming Concept, putting an illuminated aiming mark directly on the target for both eyes open shooting. Aiming marks are specific to purpose and user depending on the speed of acquisition vs precision of aim required. The BAC aiming mark is usually combined with a reticle giving ranging and ballistic compensation out to the practical maxium range of the weapon.

What is the relevance to hunting? Thousands of hunters have found that rugged military optics enabling binocular vision shooting to hundreds of meters are the way to go. Despite rifle manufacturer's emphasis on flat shooting magnun cartridges and ultra precise rifles, most hunting in the US is done at quite close ranges. In these circumstances sheer precision takes a distant third place to fast target acquisition and shot placement. Cross hairs are easily lost against the clutter in the dim light that typically prevails under the forest canopy. A low magnification reflex sight like the ACOG TA44SR-10 offers the benefits of the rapid target acquisition of a red dot sight with the magnification to distinguish targets in dense underbrush. Center the aiming mark on the turkey's neck and squeeze off the shot. This stops the natural tendency to lift the head from the stock to find the turkey's head and put the shot over the top.

Most modern bottlenecked hunting cartridges let you aim straight on on a deer out to 250 yards. The vast majority of deer in the Eastern states are taken at shorter ranges than this. However, there will be times when you'll want to take a longer shot. The last thing you want when that deer finally appears is to wonder if you've dialled in the right direction or started from zero. Just putting the correct aiming mark on the kill zone is so much easier than fiddling with turrets and counting clicks. Whilst the reticles are calibrated for 5.56 and 7.62mm M855 and M80 round respectively all you need to do is sight in at 100 meters and fire test groups to see where your own rounds go relative to the aiming marks.

The intermediate magnification ACOGs like the Trijicon TA33-8 make an excellent predator shooting system when mounted on an AR15 rifle with a good trigger. Once again you have the bindon aiming concept providing rapid target acquisition and centring with both eyes open shooting, backed by stadia to take longer range shots with confidence. These sights can be retrofitted or, with the TA01NSN-RMR 4x32 reflex sight for example come with a top mounted red dot sight for very close, very fast moving targets that can present themselves in coyote shooting.  Mid range varmint hunting can be accomplished with the higher powered ACOGs, getting you on target fast on critters as they pop out of their holes unpredictably. The ACOG's relatively low magnification and great optics will keep it shooting long after your high powered varmint scope has become useless due to low light.

Trijicon's killflash (optional on most models and standard on some military units) prevents any possibility of objective lens glint spooking your deer.

AGOGs don't need batteries - Bindon Aiming Concept models use fiber-optic light gathering to illuminate their reticles in daylight and a tritium light source for night illumination.

Sights just don't get more rugged than the ACOG. Provided it is mounted on a sturdy base, it will not lose zero. Once taken off it will repeat to within 1 MOA. The ACOG reflex sight will take exposure to dirt, mud, sand, rain and snow and water pressure up to 80ft depth and keep going. It could be that you waited years and payed a small fortune for that hunting opportunity. You don't want your investment wasted by the failure of a fragile, fair weather optical instrument. The ACOG is the magnifying sight of choice of the armed forces of the western world. Civilian hunters have a tradition of adopting military technology from blackpowder through to GPS and taking in famous military weapons and cartridges from the .45-70 springfield to the .223 AR15. Putting an ACOG red dot sight on your rifle is the next step in that tradition.
