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

The Trijicon VCOG 1-6x24 rifle scope is a battle-proven variable power optic built for shooters who need versatility across distance—from close quarters to several hundred yards. The 1–6x magnification range makes it equally at home in a rifle slung through thick timber as it is on a precision-focused day at the range. With a compact 24 mm objective and first focal plane reticle system, the VCOG delivers true holdover values at any magnification you dial, eliminating the guesswork when you're dialing for distance. The horseshoe dot reticle with crosshair subtensions isn't just pretty glass; it's designed to let you estimate range and apply corrections quickly—a trait that matters when hunting or running transitions on multiple targets.

Built from forged 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, this scope is engineered to take hits. Waterproof to 20 meters and packed with Trijicon's reputation for reliability under hard use, the VCOG has seen service in professional and recreational circles alike. The illuminated reticle runs on a single AA battery—you get a lithium cell in the box—with adjustable brightness across six settings and exceptional runtime. The constant 4-inch eye relief means you're not chasing a moving sight picture; mount it and go. The package includes a TA51 thumb screw mount and a LensPen for glass care, so you're ready to bolt it on and get shooting.

If you're running an intermediate rifle cartridge like the .223 and want a scope that won't compromise on glass quality, durability, or real-world versatility, the Trijicon VCOG is a scope that earns its place on a working rifle. It's the kind of optic that makes sense for hunters who cover varied terrain, shooters who train across multiple distances, and anyone who values a scope that simply works.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in the box with the VCOG 1-6x24?

You get the scope, a TA51 thumb screw mount, a lithium AA battery, a LensPen for lens care, a Trijicon logo sticker, the user manual, and a warranty card.

Does the VCOG work on rifles other than .223?

The reticle and bullet drop compensator on this model are calibrated specifically for .223/55 grain ammunition. If you're running a different cartridge, you'll need to account for the difference in ballistics when applying holdovers.

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

The scope runs on a standard AA battery—alkaline or lithium. With a lithium AA cell at brightness setting 4 of 6, you'll get approximately 1,400 hours of continuous runtime. The lithium battery is included in the box.

Does the VCOG reticle stay accurate at lower magnifications?

Yes. Because the VCOG uses a first focal plane reticle, all the subtensions and holdover marks remain proportionally true and accurate at any magnification from 1x to 6x. You don't lose precision when you dial down.
