Referencing the 4x models typically found on military rifles:
- They're very robust;
- They require no batteries yet provide daylight visible reticle illumination;
- Optical quality is excellent, as is FOV;
- Very simple to use;
- Trijicon's support is very good.
I have an Aimpoint Micro T-1 on my home defense carbine, ACOGs on my general use carbines, and variable scopes on my precision rigs. Like any optic, ACOGs are the result of conscious compromises. I just happen to be able to live with those compromises and appreciate the ACOG's strengths. I've used lots of 1-4x variables and prefer my ACOGs.
