Among scopes for rail mounts, the 22.5-degree V-shaped Zeiss rail is the most prevalent standard. It was introduced in 1990. After the patent expired in 2008, compatible scopes have been offered from manufacturers such as Blaser, [1] Leica, Minox, Meopta, Nikon, [2] Noblex (formerly Docter [3]), Schmidt & Bender [4] and Steiner.

The scope base is the attachment interface on the rifle's receiver, onto which the scope rings or scope mount are fixed. Early telescopic sights almost all have the rings that are fastened directly into tapped screw holes on the receiver, hence having no additional scope base other than the receiver top itself.

The first ACOG model, known as the TA01, was released in 1987. [3] [4] An example was tested on the Stoner 93 in the early 1990s by the Royal Thai Armed Forces. [5]In 1995, United States Special Operations Command selected the 4×32 TA01 as the official scope for the M4 carbine and purchased 12,000 units from Trijicon. [6]

Scope models with 0.025 mil and 0.05 mil adjustments are also becoming more available. Lower adjustment values make it possible to more finely adjust the sight towards the center of the target, but at the cost of more adjustments to keep track of. Some also participate with sights intended for hunting or practical long-range shooting (i.e. PRS).
