Trijicon 1-6x24 VCOG Rifle Scope - Black, Horseshoe Dot/Crosshair Reticle (.223 / 77 Grain)

The Trijicon 1-6x24 VCOG rifle scope is a variable-power optic built for shooters who need speed at close range and precision at distance. Whether you're running a tactical carbine, hunting in mixed terrain, or working through CQB scenarios, this first focal plane scope adapts to your shooting without forcing you to compromise on glass quality or durability. The 1-6x magnification range handles everything from tight indoor work to engagements well past 100 yards—all with the optical clarity and light transmission Trijicon is known for.

What sets the VCOG apart is its marriage of practical reticle design and real-world durability. The horseshoe dot and crosshair reticle includes bullet drop compensation and ranging subtensions, calibrated for .223 / 77 grain ammunition. Because it's a first focal plane design, those holdovers remain accurate at any magnification you dial in—no second-guessing your drops when you zoom. Red LED illumination offers six brightness settings and runs for 700 hours continuous use (at setting 4) on a single AA battery, so you've got reliable target acquisition in low light without complexity. The integrated dial fin makes magnification changes smooth and intuitive, and constant 4-inch eye relief means you can shoot from a consistent cheek weld every time.

Built from forged 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, the VCOG is engineered to survive hard use. It's waterproof to 20 meters, weighs 23.2 ounces (without mount), and ships with everything you need to get running: a TA51 mount, lithium AA battery, lens pen, and manual. This is the scope Trijicon built for professional and serious recreational shooters who expect their optics to work when it matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the VCOG first focal plane or second focal plane?

The Trijicon 1-6x24 VCOG uses a first focal plane reticle. This means the reticle size scales with magnification, so your bullet drop and ranging subtensions remain true and accurate regardless of which power you dial in.

What ammunition is this scope calibrated for?

The VCOG is calibrated for .223 Remington with 77 grain bullets. The reticle's bullet drop compensator and ranging marks are designed around this specific load.

What comes in the box?

The scope ships with a TA51 thumb screw quick-detach mount, one lithium AA battery, a lens pen (TA56) for cleaning the optics, a Trijicon logo sticker, the user manual, and a warranty card.

Will this scope work on an AR-15?

The VCOG is compatible with any rifle platform that accepts Picatinny rail mounts via the included TA51 quick-detach system. The 4-inch constant eye relief works well with most modern carbine stocks, but always verify your specific setup before purchase.
