The Trijicon ACOG 3x30 compact scope with green horseshoe reticle is a purpose-built optic for shooters who need fast target acquisition without sacrificing situational awareness. Born from military and law enforcement use, this 3x magnification scope pairs a compact footprint with Trijicon's legendary Bindon Aiming Concept (BAC)—a feature that lets you keep both eyes open while aiming, maintaining your peripheral vision and reaction speed in dynamic situations. Whether you're running a home-defense rifle, a patrol carbine, or a versatile intermediate-range setup, the ACOG 3x30 delivers the speed and awareness that matter when every second counts.
The green horseshoe reticle is illuminated by a combination of fiber optics and tritium, so it works equally well in bright daylight and low-light conditions without requiring batteries or user adjustment. The reticle pattern also includes bullet-drop compensation calibrated for .223 ammunition (69-grain), making it effective beyond point-blank distances without constant manual adjustments. The 0.25 MOA click adjustment system gives you fine control when zeroing or engaging at different ranges.
Mounted in Trijicon's Q-LOC Technology mount, this scope sits solidly on any Mil-Spec or NATO Picatinny rail. The mount uses a spring-loaded, tool-less design that's fast to attach or remove, yet maintains zero even under recoil. At 9.8 ounces and with a low-profile footprint (6.2 inches long), it won't add bulk or weight to your rifle. The forged aluminum housing in matte black is durable, corrosion-resistant, and built to handle hard use. Made in the USA, it carries the reliability Trijicon is known for in the field.
The ACOG 3x30's long eye relief (1.9 inches) accommodates a wide range of shooting positions and works well on rifles configured for shooting from cover or unconventional platforms. If you want an optic that prioritizes situational awareness and speed over pure magnification, and you need it to work in any light without fuss, this is a thoughtful choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifles and platforms work with the ACOG 3x30?
The ACOG 3x30 mounts to any rifle or platform with a Mil-Spec or NATO Picatinny rail. Its low profile and short length make it ideal for AR-15 pattern rifles, PCCs, and other modular platforms. The long eye relief (1.9 inches) also accommodates non-traditional shooting positions or rifles with unusual ergonomics.
Is the reticle illumination automatic, or do I have to turn it on?
No user adjustment needed. The reticle is illuminated by a combination of fiber optics (which gather ambient light) and tritium (a radioactive gaseous element that glows in the dark). In daylight, the fiber-optic element brightens the reticle; in low light or darkness, the tritium takes over. Because it's self-powered, there are no batteries to replace or manage.
Is the scope pre-zeroed, and will the mount hold zero through heavy recoil?
The scope comes mounted in the Q-LOC Technology mount, which features a spring-loaded design rated for heavy recoil and repeated handling. The mount is designed to maintain zero even if the attachment knobs are not fully tightened, though we recommend proper installation. You'll need to zero the scope to your rifle before use; the 0.25 MOA click system allows precise adjustments.
Can I use this scope on .223 rifles with different ammunition types?
The bullet-drop compensation is specifically calibrated for .223 Remington with 69-grain ammunition. While the scope will function on any .223 rifle, the BDC markings will be most accurate with that load. For other ammunition weights or calibers, you'll need to zero at your intended distance or use Kentucky windage for longer shots.
What's included in the box?
The ACOG 3x30 comes mounted in the Trijicon Q-LOC Technology mount. The mount is ready to attach to any Mil-Spec or NATO Picatinny rail using the tool-less fastening system.
