Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Bindon Aiming Concept (BAC) used with Trijicon ACOGs?

The Bindon Aiming Concept (BAC) allows shooters to keep both eyes open while aiming. It leverages the brain's ability to superimpose the illuminated reticle over the target, enhancing speed and situational awareness, especially during movement.

How does the Trijicon ACOG illuminate its reticle?

Trijicon ACOGs use dual-illumination technology. Fiber optics gather ambient light for reticle brightness during the day, while a tritium vial provides illumination in low-light or complete darkness, ensuring visibility in various conditions.

What are the key differences between the Trijicon ACOG TA11H and TA01NSN models?

The TA11H offers 3.5x magnification with a longer eye relief of 2.4 inches and weighs 17.5 oz. The TA01NSN provides 4x magnification, has a shorter eye relief of 1.5 inches, and weighs 15.4 oz.

How can I identify a fake Trijicon ACOG?

Authentic ACOGs have matching serial numbers on the housing and eyepiece. Look for raised lettering that clearly states 'Made in USA' and 'Trijicon ACOG'. Counterfeits often lack these precise markings or have misaligned serial numbers.
