How does the dual-illumination system work without batteries?
The ACOG uses tritium gas for low-light illumination and fiber optic technology for daylight brightness adjustment, providing automatic reticle visibility for 10-15 years.
Why won't my ACOG zero properly?
Check the mount's tightness and tap the scope lightly after each adjustment to reset the internal prism mechanism, as per Trijicon's manual.
Is the fixed 6x magnification limiting for close-range shooting?
While optimized for medium to long-range engagements, the Bindon Aiming Concept enables both-eyes-open shooting for close-quarters situations.
What maintenance does the ACOG require?
Regularly clean the lens with the included LensPen, check the tritium illumination in darkness every six months, and ensure the mount screws remain tight.
How do I adjust the reticle brightness?
The dual-illumination system automatically adjusts - cover the fiber optic rod to dim for low-light or expose it fully for maximum brightness.
Does Trijicon honor warranty for second-hand purchases?
Trijicon typically services ACOGs, regardless of ownership, with a lifetime scope warranty and a 10-year tritium warranty, although fees may apply.
Can I use this scope on weapons other than the M240?
The TA648MGO-M240 is calibrated explicitly for 7.62mm M240 ballistics, although the TA75 mount is compatible with any MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail.
Why does the reticle appear blurry indoors?
Fiber optic illumination may be insufficient in dark environments targeting bright backgrounds - this is normal behavior requiring tritium-only illumination.
