Trijicon 1-6x24 VCOG Rifle Scope Black, Horseshoe Dot / Crosshair .223 / 55 Grain Reticle

The Trijicon 1-6x24 VCOG rifle scope brings true variable magnification and combat-grade optics to hunters and shooters who need flexibility from close quarters to mid-range precision. Built on forged 7075-T6 aircraft aluminum and tested to MIL-STD-810G standards, this first focal plane scope handles the rigors of hunting, tactical training, and field use without compromise. The 1-6x magnification range lets you stay heads-up and fast at low power while giving you optical reach when the shot demands it, making it equally at home in brush country or on the range.

The illuminated horseshoe dot reticle with .223/55-grain ballistic compensation is calibrated for one of the most common rifle cartridges in North America. That reticle stays true across the entire magnification range thanks to first focal plane design—your holds and rangefinding subtensions work the same whether you're at 1x or 6x. The LED illumination runs on a standard AA battery (lithium provided) and delivers 700 hours of runtime at mid-brightness, with six adjustable settings to match ambient light and personal preference. Constant 4-inch eye relief means you won't chase the scope when you shoulder the rifle, and the integrated dial fin gives you smooth, intuitive magnification adjustments.

Setup is straightforward: the included TA51 thumbscrew mount locks onto any Picatinny rail without requiring additional rings, and the scope is waterproof to 20 meters. The multi-coated glass delivers the light transmission and clarity you expect from Trijicon's reputation for optical quality, with zero distortion across the field. Whether you're rounding out a modern sporting rifle, setting up a hunter's AR, or running dedicated precision practice, the VCOG bridges the gap between fast-target shooting and accurate distance work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rifles and rail systems does the Trijicon VCOG mount to?

The integrated TA51 thumbscrew mount locks directly onto any Picatinny rail without conventional scope rings. The mount is compatible with many standard Picatinny rail systems designed to accept the Trijicon ACOG.

Is the 1-6x24 VCOG a first focal plane scope, and why does that matter?

Yes, the VCOG features a first focal plane (FFP) reticle. This means the reticle size, subtensions, and ballistic holds remain consistent and true at any magnification setting from 1x to 6x. You get accurate ranging and bullet-drop compensation whether you're running low power for speed or higher magnification for precision.

How long does the battery last, and what type does it use?

The scope runs on a single AA lithium or alkaline battery. With a lithium AA battery at brightness setting 4 (mid-range), you'll get 700 hours of continuous runtime. A lithium battery is included in the box, and standard AA alkaline batteries are an acceptable alternative.

What reticle pattern and calibration does this scope come with?

This model features a horseshoe dot with crosshair reticle pattern, calibrated for .223 Remington ammunition at 55 grains. The reticle is available with red or green illumination for both day and night use.

Is the VCOG waterproof for hunting in rain or wet conditions?

Yes, the scope is waterproof and rated for submersion to 66 feet (20 meters), making it suitable for wet weather hunting and field conditions.
