[ARCHIVED THREAD] - ACOG PROBLEM!!!

Posted: 3/22/2010 7:53:47 PM EDT

I have the 4x32 ACOG with the green horseshoe dot and today I noticed that the horizontal "black" cross hair to the right of the green horseshoe is separated into two blurry cross hairs. Still the sight works and is keeping zero but for what I paid I want to get this fixed! Anyone know how Trijicon's customer service is?

The best.

How far was the object you were looking at when you noticed the issue?

The ACOG reticle often looks blurry if you are trained on a close object. The arrow on my TA31F does this even when the rest of the reticle looks fine.

Did you read the manual that came with it???

If not get one.

=NORMAL.

It has to do with how the optic works, the right side may appear some what blurry, but it has no effect on how it functions.

From the FAQ page on Trijicon's website:

» 05. The right hand side of the crosshair is blurry. Is this normal?

Yes. The reticle pattern in the ACOG is formed by removing highly reflective metal from a prism mirror. This mirror is at about a 45-degree angle inside the gun sight. This means that the left side of the reticle is closer to the eye than the center of the reticle and the right side of the reticle is further from the eye. The result- the right side of the reticle is focused beyond infinity which can cause distortion on the right side of the reticle. The perceived distortion will be more or less depending on an individual's eyesight. The left side of the reticle is unaffected because the human eye has no difficulty focusing on a closer object. This in no way detracts from the performance of the scope. The image of the target area is not affected. Only the right hand side horizontal reticle line is blurry. This construction is required to achieve a parallax free vertical center of the scope, which allows the built in ranging on the reticle pattern.

I felt that I was good to go with the sight without reading the manual. I guess I was wrong. Thank you for the help!
