Trijicon ACOG 3x30 Compact Scope with Green Crosshair Reticle
- Min Magnification:
- 3x
- Max Magnification:
- 3x
The Trijicon ACOG 3x30 compact scope with green crosshair reticle is a professional-grade optic built for shooters who need fast target acquisition without sacrificing situational awareness. Originally designed for law enforcement and military work, this scope combines modest magnification with genuine low-light performance and an unusually long eye relief—making it equally at home on a patrol rifle, home defense setup, or compact tactical platform where speed matters as much as precision.
What sets the ACOG 3x30 apart is its Bindon Aiming Concept (BAC) design, which lets you keep both eyes open while sighting. That means better awareness of your surroundings and faster target transitions than traditional scopes. The green crosshair reticle is illuminated by a hybrid fiber-optic and tritium system—daylight-bright in sun, self-lit in darkness, no batteries required. The 0.25 MOA per-click turrets are Bindon-corrected for .223 / 69-grain ballistics, so your dope is built in.
Optically, the 3x30 is a straight magnification scope with a wide 19.3-foot field of view at 100 yards, letting you track moving targets and scan terrain without tunnel vision. At 9.8 ounces and just over six inches long, it's genuinely compact—especially paired with the included Trijicon Q-LOC mount. That mount uses a one-handed, tool-free clamping system on any Mil-Spec or NATO Picatinny rail, with spring-loaded retention that maintains zero even if you loosen the knobs to swap rifles. The forged-aluminum housing is anodized matte black and built to military drop-test standards.
This is a scope that doesn't need to prove itself—it's been proven. Backed by the reputation Trijicon earned over decades in professional service.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifles and firearms are compatible with the ACOG 3x30?
The included Trijicon Q-LOC mount is compatible with any Mil-Spec or NATO Picatinny rail. This covers most modern ARs, carbines, and tactical rifles. The compact form and long 1.9-inch eye relief also work well on shorter-profile or high-mounted setups where traditional scopes may cause discomfort.
Does the reticle illumination require batteries?
No. The ACOG 3x30 uses a hybrid fiber-optic and tritium illumination system. Fiber optics gather ambient light during the day to brighten the green reticle, while tritium provides self-illumination in low light or darkness. This design is entirely passive—no batteries, no electronics to maintain or fail.
What caliber is the bullet drop compensation set for?
The scope is corrected for .223 Remington / 69-grain ammunition. The turrets and reticle holdovers are indexed to this load, so your adjustments will track accurately with that ballistic profile.
What is included in the box?
You receive the Trijicon ACOG 3x30 scope and the Trijicon Q-LOC Compact Mount. The mount features a one-handed, tool-free clamping system and is ready to attach to any Picatinny rail.
