The Trijicon ACOG 556 NATO/223 optic is known by most who have served in any military or law enforcement capacity. As a result, it is highly coveted and retails for around $1500. Finding one can prove to be difficult. According to Trijicon, there are currently zero available at authorized dealers within 100 miles of Pop Smoke Media HQ.

However, that doesn’t mean you can’t find one. You can take your chances with bidding type websites that broker sales between users, but you never know what you’re really getting. It could show up and look like it was smuggled back from OIF 4 after being on 3 deployments, and customer support on many of these sights can feel nonexistent.

Or….

You could purchase a seat to a digital review, and potentially win a brand new one for 1/38th of the cost. It is limited seating, so the odds are much better than the huge give aways you see social media. Not to mention, the hosts are licensed FFL dealers, meaning it is a far lower risk than buying it online from a stranger.

I’m talking about Field Seats, the Veteran owned company that reviews guns and optics, and gives them away. They are always reviewing great optics you could win, including the Trijicon ACOG 556 NATO/223 Rem or a brand new EOTech Vudu 3.5-18X50 FFP.

Referring to the importance of paying top dollar for quality glass, the old saying with optics goes “Buy once, cry once.”

That does not have to be the case if you win your optic from Field Seats. Check them out today, and increase your chances by buying a ticket for your partner, sibling or loved ones.
