Once clear of foreign material, use the pen's felt cleaner to finish clearing the lens. Peter Timm has been writing since for both print and online publications. Timm earned a Bachelor of Arts from the New York Institute of Technology in and emerged a technically astute writer. Step 1 Inspect the ACOG by bringing your scope into a dark room and allowing your eyes to adjust to the darkness for approximately one to two minutes the reticle is difficult to see until your eyes adjust.
This can damage the internal prism assembly. In this event contact the manufacturer for further instructions. If the ACOG doesn't work, contact the manufacturer for further instructions. Please check your Internet connectivity, your ScrapeAZon settings, your country code, and your shortcode configuration.
In my five years of experience with the optic, I took it around the world, to Afghanistan, Africa, Spain, Romania, not to mention yearly qualifications and countless field training exercises. The optic absorbs light from the area around it and charges the reticle. At night, the reticle may dim some, but the reserved power from the day provides it with sufficient power for the entire night.
The ACOG can submerse to a meters, which is an extreme distance for a rifle scope. The ACOG is also built like a tank, which is barely an exaggeration.
In fact in Iraq one on of these optics took an AK round and saved the Marine using it. The clincher? The optic kept working. ACOGs are remarkably durable. The fit and finish is remarkable, and even with years of abuse holds up. My ACOG was 4 power and utilized a chevron style reticle. Regardless of the model one that is positive about ACOGs is the fact the glass provides a crystal clear picture.
ACOG utilizes the highest quality glass and a fantastic design to give a crisp sight picture and utilize all available light. At qualification every year, it was almost too easy to effectively hit targets. Using standard ball ammo all I as a shooter had to do was place the appropriate bullet-drop holdover on my target and pull the trigger. The BDC holdover points also have a rudimentary range finding system built into it.
The holdovers are a small straight line that gradually decrease in size. As a fixed 4 power optic, the scope is designed for short to medium engagement distances. Utilizing this optic at five hundred yards I was able to effectively hit a man sized targets consistently.
The ACOG proved to be very versatile as well. Using the optic with both eyes open the scope acted efficiently as a red dot optic. One of the best ACOG on the market. Red dot sights have been written about multiple times on this website , so we will not discuss the basics about red dot sights. An ACOG is an example of an internal reflex sight. This kind of sight has multiple lenses, and has a tube shape. The ACOG has a fixed magnification , meaning that it is not adjustable at all. However, from the manufacturer, there are multiple magnification levels available.
This allows you to select exactly how much magnification you need, from 1. Without variable magnification, there is less moving parts, so the scope is more durable. However, this red dot is different than almost every other optic available on the market.
The reticle also has a bullet drop compensated reticle , which further increases its accuracy. Another excellent feature of this scope is how rugged it is. It is made from high strength aircraft aluminum, making it extremely strong. It is also waterproof to meters. To prove its strength and durability, it is widely used in the United States military.
Without batteries, there is no turning the scope on or anything. Assuming the optic is zeroed, simply open the lenses, aim down the sight with both eyes open, and fire your weapon. It really could not be easier to use. Looking down the sight with both eyes open makes it extremely easy to use. Whether you are a casual shooter, a competitive shooter , or a hunter, an ACOG will work for you.
