The Trijicon ACOG 1.5x16S Compact Scope (brand part no. TA44-C-400413) brings Trijicon’s legendary battery-free ACOG design to AR-15 shooters in a smaller, lighter package built for close-quarters speed. Trijicon forges the housing from 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum at just 5.1 ounces, and illuminates the red RTR horseshoe-dot reticle with tritium for low light and fiber optics for daylight, so there’s never a battery to replace. The reticle is calibrated for 55-grain .223/5.56 loads, giving genuine bullet-drop holdovers instead of a simple dot, and the Bindon Aiming Concept lets shooters keep both eyes open for fast target acquisition. The tool-less Q-LOC Picatinny mount makes installation and removal quick and repeatable. Among our gun scopes, this Compact ACOG suits AR-15 shooters who want a lightweight, battery-free optic with real holdover data for fast-moving, close-quarters use.
