 This is my very basic K'nex ACOG scope, inspired by Modern Warfare. It's mainly built from broken red connectors but is pretty good at it's job
Pros:
Good looks
Simple
Adjustable M16-style reticule
Good visibility

Cons
Not a real ACOG (yet)
needs many broken parts, which can snap when built

Check out my new ACOG v2, inspired by Trijicon's TA01NSN-RMR series!
