Trijicon, Inc., global provider of innovative Brilliant Aiming
Solutions™ for hunters, shooters, military and law enforcement
personnel, is pleased to announce that the U.S. Army has commissioned an
additional 10,000 TA31RCO-M150 Rifle Combat Optics to fill its TACOM
IDIQ contract. The Army-designated TA31RCO-M150 is known by many simply
as the 4×32 ACOG (Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight®.)
“The M150 is a battle-proven weapon sight that our soldiers on the
ground have come to trust. That the U.S. Army has called for 10,000 more
units only validates this fact.” said Bill Taggart, Trijicon Director
of Military and Law Enforcement Division. “Trijicon is proud that it can
help in the effort to protect our great nation at home and on
battlefields overseas.”
The Trijicon ACOG is a compact telescopic sight with a
tritium-illuminated reticle for use in low light or at night. It also
utilizes the Bindon Aiming Concept (BAC) by way of a bright daytime
reticle that uses advanced fiber optics to collect ambient light. In
this way, ACOG combines precise, distant marksmanship with close-in
aiming speed. Every feature of its mechanical and optical design was
chosen for a single purpose: to provide increased hit potential in all
lighting conditions.
The fixed 4-power M150 sight differs from ACOG units supplied to the
U.S. Marine Corps in that its external windage and elevation adjusters
allow the unit to be fully waterproof to an astounding 11 meters, even
without its turret caps in place. This proven durability is one reason
why the ACOG was awarded the Army’s demanding M150 contract.
This new order is in addition to existing 43,000 M150s already
ordered through TACOM IDIQ contract, as well as the original IDIQ
contract from the U.S. Army for 135,000 M150 units, placed in 2007.
