Overview

Tactical Superiority: Compact ACOG Scope


Trijicon ACOG TA50 3x24 Compact Tactical Rifle Scope delivers unmatched precision and reliability for tactical professionals and serious hunters who demand combat-proven performance in a lightweight package. This compact ACOG scope combines Trijicon's legendary durability with innovative Q-LOC mounting technology to solve real-world challenges where every ounce matters.

Built with Proven Optics' commitment to doing the right thing, this tactical scope features battery-free dual illumination and an ultra-lightweight design that eliminates the reliability concerns of traditional electronic optics. The TA50's revolutionary 5.8-ounce construction represents a 62% weight reduction compared to larger ACOG models while maintaining the same combat-proven durability standards that have made ACOGs the official optic of the U.S. Marine Corps and Special Operations Forces. Experience the confidence that comes from equipment engineered for those who demand excellence when failure is not an option.

Who's This For?

Perfect for patrol officers, 3-gun shooters, and ounce-counting hunters who buy Trijicon ACOG TA50—a compact ACOG scope delivering battery-free 3× speed; 92% of verified owners praise its low-light clarity.

Pass if you crave variable 1-6× zoom or generous eye relief—LPVO fans and CQB red-dot purists may prefer other scopes.

Key Features

Dual Illumination System — Battery-free fiber optic and tritium technology automatically adjusts brightness levels, providing crystal-clear target acquisition in all lighting conditions from bright daylight to complete darkness.

Ultra-Compact Design — Weighs only 5.8 ounces at 5.0 inches long, delivering 62% weight reduction compared to larger ACOG models while maintaining identical combat-proven durability standards.

Aircraft-Grade Construction — Forged 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum alloy housing creates a nearly indestructible sighting system that passes military drop test requirements and withstands recoil from .22LR to .50BMG.

Q-LOC Mount Technology — Patented one-handed toolless mounting system with spring-loaded design maintains zero retention even without tightening knobs, featuring superior return-to-zero performance on any Mil-Spec or NATO Picatinny rail.

Tool-Free External Adjusters — External windage and elevation adjustments require no tools, with audible half-MOA clicks. Lanyard-attached. caps prevent loss during field operations.

Combat-Proven Reliability — No other magnified optic has been used more in combat than the ACOG, serving as the official medium-distance engagement optic of the Marine Corps and U.S. Special Operations Forces.

The Expert Says

Strengths: The compact ACOG scope excels in weight reduction, weighing only 5.8 ounces while delivering identical military-grade construction standards. Expert reviewers consistently praise its "exceptional glass clarity". The TA50's superior eye relief outperforms Trijicon's published specification. GAT Daily noted it's "exceptional in any role the older TA11 would be considered for." while delivering 62% weight savings.

Limitations: The dual-illumination system creates brightness inconsistencies in sunlight. The compact 24mm objective lens reduces light transmission compared to larger ACOGs. The 25.6-foot field of view at 100 yards is notably narrow—206% smaller than the TA31's FOV. Experts recommend pairing it with an RMR for low-light situations.

FAQ

Q: Does the TA50 compact ACOG scope work with my AR-15 rifle?
Yes, requires a high mount for proper cheek weld height over the front sight base. 

Q: Can I buy Trijicon ACOG TA50 with different mount configurations?
Available in a low-height base for AK platforms or a Q-LOC mount for AR systems.

Q: What happens when the tritium illumination dims after 12 years?
Trijicon offers a re-lamping service for approximately $150-$ 200, which significantly extends operational life.

Q: Will this compact ACOG scope maintain zero through heavy recoil?
External adjusters and forged aluminum construction ensure zero retention through .50BMG recoil levels.

Q: Does the TA50 require tools for windage and elevation adjustments?
No tools needed - external adjusters feature audible half-MOA clicks with tethered caps.

Q: Can I add a red dot sight to my TA50?
Integrated mounting bosses accept the Trijicon RMR with the RM54 mount for a dual-optic configuration.

Q: How does eye relief compare to larger ACOG models?
Published 1.4 inches but actual usable eye relief extends to 3.5 inches effectively.

Q: What warranty coverage applies to my Trijicon ACOG TA50?
Limited lifetime warranty on optical systems, 15-year tritium illumination guarantee from the manufacturer's date.
