- description
An ACOG-pattern scope has a large forward objective sitting well out in front of the shooter, which is both the best thing about it and the worst. Good, because a big objective gathers light and keeps the picture bright at magnification. Bad, because it is a wide bright disc pointed straight down the lane you are watching.
The grid does two jobs at once. Low sun on a magnified objective produces a flash that is visible a long way off, and the honeycomb pattern breaks the reflection so there is nothing to spot. At the same time it sits proud of the glass as a sacrificial barrier, so a BB that would have struck the lens strikes aluminium instead.
Both colourways are the same part. Pick black on a black scope body and dark earth where the rest of the gun is tan, because a mismatched grid on the front of an optic is the first thing anyone notices in a photo.

Good to know before you buy
The ACOG objective diameter is what this grid is machined around. A micro red dot or a holographic sight needs its own pattern and will not accept this one.
At magnification the grid is more visible than it is on a red dot, especially under canopy. Worth knowing before you fit one for a night game.
Clone ACOG-pattern scopes from several makers share the same objective bezel, so the fit is not restricted to one brand of scope.
Frequently asked questions
Does it fit scopes other than AIM-O?
If the objective bezel matches the ACOG pattern, yes, and most clones of that scope do. Check the outer diameter of your objective housing against the one on this listing first.
Will it darken the picture at magnification?
A little, and more noticeably than on an unmagnified sight. In bright conditions it is a fair trade for not having a cracked objective.
Black or dark earth?
Function is identical. Choose whichever disappears against the scope body you are fitting it to.
Does it replace a flip-up lens cover?
No, they do different things. A grid guards against impact and glint while you are shooting; a cover keeps dirt off while the gun is in the bag.
