Dropping The ACOG + RCR

Published on August 5, 2025
Duration: 0:27

This video details a rigorous durability test of a Trijicon ACOG paired with an RCR piggyback sight on an AR-15. The test involves a direct drop onto a rock, impacting the optics housing, followed by a live-fire assessment to confirm zero retention and RCR functionality. The demonstration highlights the robust nature of Trijicon optics and T.REX ARMS's commitment to real-world performance evaluation.

Quick Summary

The T.REX ARMS video demonstrates a durability test where a Trijicon ACOG with an RCR piggyback sight was dropped onto a rock. Post-impact, live fire confirmed both optics maintained zero and the RCR's electronics remained functional, showcasing robust performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What was tested in the T.REX ARMS video?

The video tested the durability and zero retention of a Trijicon ACOG optic combined with a Trijicon RCR red dot sight mounted piggyback on an AR-15 rifle. The test involved a direct drop onto a rock followed by live fire.

Did the Trijicon ACOG and RCR hold zero after the drop test?

Yes, following a direct impact drop onto a rock, both the Trijicon ACOG and the piggyback-mounted RCR successfully maintained their zero. The RCR's electronics also remained functional.

What is the benefit of mounting an RCR on an ACOG?

Mounting a Trijicon RCR (a 1x red dot sight) on top of an ACOG (typically 4x magnification) provides versatility. It allows for rapid target acquisition at close range while retaining the magnification of the ACOG for engaging targets at distance.

How was the durability of the optics assessed?

Durability was assessed through a controlled drop test where the rifle impacted a rock directly on the optics housing. Post-impact, the shooter performed rapid live fire to verify zero retention and functionality of the RCR.
