The Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight, ACOG, is arguably the most commonly used telescopic Gun sight in the world today. The ACOG scope is manufactured by Trijicon and is immensely popular. These rifle scopes are used mainly by outdoor marksmen, hunters and military personnel. The ACOG scope was designed to be used in conjunction with the M4 carbine and the M16 rifle. Trijicon makes the scopes in a variety of magnifications with different reticles. You can choose the reticle that suits you best. One advantage that these scopes have over their competitors is that they do not need to be charged in fact they do not need any battery power. This is because a radioactive substance called tritium is used to illuminate the reticle of the scope. This substance will continue to light the scope for 10 to 15 years before running out of juice. When you are on a long hunting trio you will appreciate this feature because you will not have to worry a bout carrying extra batteries for your scope or about keeping your scope charged throughout the trip. The maintenance of the scope is also easier because you do not have to change the battery. For additional illumination some models make use of fibre optics. The light outside the scope is directed towards the reticle making it easier to sight and shoot your target.Based on where and when you will be shooting you will need to select a scope that meets your requirements. The ACOG scopes are available in a variety of configurations and you will not find it too difficult to find one that meets your needs. If you plan on shooting underwater then there are waterproof ACOG scopes available. An important factor that you need to think about is the amount of magnification you want the scope to have. This will depend on the range of your shot. ACOG scopes have fixed magnifications and you cannot zoom in or zoom out with the scope.Most ACOG scopes also have bullet drop compensators. Thi s will also contribute towards improving you shooting. These scopes are perfect to use on hunting trips because they do not need any battery and do not need to be recharged. You can get a lightweight scope and easily carry it around with you while you travel. These scopes are available for sale online. When you purchase a scope made by Trijicon you can be assured of its quality.
