Anybody have any experience with a Trijicon ACOG? I have read a lot on them and have looked through and handled them in stores a few times. From what I have read they are about as good of a battle optic as You can get. I am interested in anyone’s real world experience with them to help talk me into buying one. I am interested in the 3X30 version which l think is the largest objective offered and calibrated for the 7.62X39 caliber.

I've got one and have used one. They are great but for what it is and what it cost.... you can just use a low power variable scope and I think you would be better off if money is a factor. Put another way... they just don't do a lot. A red dot with a magnifier is maybe more versatile.

I will be using it to have some fun at the range and also it will be a SHTF Setup so I want the best there is to be prepared if that scenario ever happens. The Trijicon will Be Mounted on a Arsenal SAM7SF . I am looking to get the Trijicon ACOG 3X30 calibrated for the 7.62X39. I have been studying the Trijicon VCOG but there is none calibrated for the 7.62X39 that I have found. Thanks for all the information and input In this thread 👍🏻

Don't get too caught up with what the reticle is "calibrated" for because that will only work for one specific grain weight of bullet with one specific powder charge. Buy the ACOG/VCOG you want and see where the reticle marks work for the ammo you will be running in the rifle. I've been thru the same thing with a scope calibrated for .300BO

I’m assuming you’ll be using a quality mount like RS or Midwest Ind on the side rail. So you know, for your application, and platform, there are many robust, quality com bloc made optics that will fill the same roll, cheaper, and are actually made for the AK. They sit very low over bore as compared to many attempts at western optics on a pic rail.

Mdees, I got the Arsenal SM-13 Mount installed on the SAM7SF. Can You list the Com Bloc optics You mentioned? I will look at all available options. Thanks!

If I had been allowed to choose my own optics, I would not have picked the acog. A good Burris or Meopta with illuminate reticle is a far better choice.
My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.

Acog is about indestructible. You have to factor that into the equation when looking variable power low magnification hunting optics on a tactical rifle. That is the reason I am considering the ACOG. I want a weapon that will have the least chance to fail Me in a SHTF situation. The Arsenal SAM7SF and the Trijicon ACOG should be very reliable in that situation.
