The Trijicon ACOG 1.5x16S Compact Scope (brand part no. TA44-C-400415) delivers the same lightweight, battery-free ACOG design as Trijicon’s red-reticle compact model, built instead around a green illuminated reticle for shooters who prefer that aiming point. Trijicon forges the housing from 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum at just 5.1 ounces, and illuminates the 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 green-reticle Compact ACOG suits AR-15 shooters who want a lightweight, battery-free optic with real holdover data.
