Trijicon Durability - Real Stories of Trijicon Optics Put to the Test

All Trijicon optics are tested to the Science of Brilliant protocols for proven durability you can trust. What we’ve learned from decades of deployment with America’s greatest fighting forces, we’ve put back into our technology for hunting and shooting enthusiasts. Many products—such as the ACOG®, VCOG® and RMR®—exceed military testing protocols, and every Trijicon product follows the lessons we’ve learned from our battle-tested technologies. Explore real life scenarios below where Trijicon optics have been tested to the harshest conditions.
