Trijicon 3.5x35 LED Battery ACOG Rifle Scope - Matte Finish, .223 Red Horseshoe Dot Reticle, Includes Picatinny Adapter

The Trijicon 3.5x35 LED ACOG rifle scope is a battle-proven optic that brings user-controlled illumination to one of the most trusted designs in tactical and hunting applications. Built on decades of ACOG reliability, this 3.5x magnification scope combines a 35mm objective with a red horseshoe dot reticle calibrated for .223 ammunition, making it at home on AR-platform rifles, modern sporting rifles, and other tactical setups. Unlike fixed-brightness models, the LED version gives you six adjustable brightness levels—plus an off position between each—so you can dial in the perfect reticle glow whether you're in bright daylight, dim indoor spaces, or anywhere in between.

Where this scope really earns its reputation is toughness and practical performance. The housing is forged from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminum, the same material used in jet fuselages; it's virtually indestructible and handles recoil that would crack lesser glass. A single AA battery runs the LED for over 12,000 continuous hours on setting #4, meaning you can leave it on for months without worrying about dead batteries. The scope is fully night vision compatible, so it integrates seamlessly into setups that include thermal or night vision devices. Eye relief sits at 2.4 inches—comfortable for most shooters and forgiving under rapid fire or recoil.

Setup is straightforward: the scope ships with the TA51 Picatinny adapter (thumbscrew flattop mount) already included, plus an AA battery, lens pen, lanyard assemblies for the adjuster and battery caps, and the manual. The red reticle and Bindon Aiming Concept optics mean fast target acquisition in close to mid-range engagements. At just 16.8 ounces (without mount), it won't burden your rifle's balance. Whether you're running a patrol rifle, home-defense AR, or precision .223 setup, the LED ACOG delivers the brightness control modern shooters expect without compromising the legendary ruggedness Trijicon built its name on.
