Thought this was interesting to you ACOG fans out there...

(August 12, 2005) -- Trijicon Inc. Wixom, Mich., is being awarded a $660,000,000 firm-fixed-priced, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract for Rifle Combat Optics (RCO) fixed 4 power scopes designed for use with the M-16 family of weapons. The RCO enhances the Marine's ability to identify and engage targets in combat situations at greater ranges and with increased accuracy over standard iron sights.

The initial purchase will be 104,000 scopes at $610 each for a total initial delivery order of $63,440,000. The government may purchase up to a maximum of 800,000 RCO scopes on this contract over the five-year period the contract is in effect.

Work will be performed in Wixom, Mich. (90 percent) and Fredericksburg Va. (10 percent), and is expected to be completed in August 2010. Contract funds will not expire at the end of the current fiscal year. This contract was competitively procured using full and open competition. The Marine Corps Systems Command, Quantico, Va., is the contracting activity (M67854-05-D-1061).

They obviously did not read the Accupoint vs ACOG thread before they decided

Hmmm, so if we do a group buy of 104,000 scopes, we can get the price per ACOG down to about $610?

Looks like the supply will dry up again. If you are in the market for an ACOG, nows the time.
