The Trijicon 4×32 ACOG incorporates the innovative Bindon Aiming Conceptâ„¢ (BAC) – a revolutionary both-eyes-open aiming method that provides the shooter with “instinctive” target acquisition and increased hit potential. The reticle features a red chevron aiming point and incorporates a Bullet Drop Compensator (BDC), which offers additional aiming points out to 800 meters. Weighing in at a mere 16.2 ounces and measuring 7.3″ L x 2.1″ W x 2.5″ H, the Trijicon 4×32 ACOG is lightweight, versatile and mounts to any MIL-STD-1913 rail using the supplied mount.
