Trijicon 1-6x24 VCOG Rifle Scope Black, Horseshoe Dot / Crosshair .308 / 175 Grain Reticle

The Trijicon 1-6x24 VCOG (Variable Combat Optical Gunsight) is a first focal plane rifle scope engineered for shooters who demand precision from close quarters to extended range. Built on a forged 7075-T6 aluminum housing and tested to military standards (MIL-STD-810G), this scope bridges the gap between tactical CQB and precision rifle work with its variable 1–6x magnification, multi-coated glass, and illuminated reticle system. The 24mm objective gathers excellent light without unnecessary bulk, making it equally at home on a patrol rifle or a hunter's precision build.

The horseshoe dot and crosshair reticle comes calibrated for .308 Winchester with a 175-grain bullet, delivering bullet drop compensation (BDC) that lets you dial in range quickly and apply the right hold at any magnification. Because the reticle lives in the first focal plane, its subtensions stay true whether you're zoomed to 1x for rapid target acquisition or dialed to 6x for longer shots. The LED illumination runs on a standard AA battery—with roughly 700 hours of runtime at mid-brightness on a lithium cell—so you'll always find power when you need it, and the scope integrates a quick-detach thumbscrew mount (TA51) that attaches directly to any standard flatop rail without rings.

Eye relief sits at a comfortable 4 inches, and waterproofing to 20 meters means this scope handles weather and rough handling. Six adjustable brightness settings let you dial illumination to suit light conditions, and the integrated magnification dial makes speed adjustments intuitive. Whether you're running a modern MSR, a precision .308, or a tactical build, the 1-6x VCOG delivers the durability and optical quality Trijicon is known for without compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

You get the scope, a TA51 thumbscrew mount, a lithium AA battery, a LENSPEN cleaning pen, a Trijicon logo sticker, the owner's manual, and a warranty card.

Will the TA51 mount fit my rifle?

The TA51 is an integrated quick-detach mount that connects to standard flatop (Picatinny) rail systems. It eliminates the need for conventional scope rings. Verify that your rifle has a flatop rail compatible with Trijicon ACOG-pattern mounts.

How long will the battery last?

A lithium AA battery provides approximately 700 hours of continuous runtime when the scope is set to brightness level 4 (mid-range). Both lithium and alkaline AA batteries are compatible, though lithium cells deliver longer life. The scope has an "off" position between each of the 6 brightness settings to conserve power when not in use.

Can I use this scope on rifles other than a .308?

The reticle is specifically calibrated for .308 Winchester with 175-grain ammunition. While you can mount the scope on other calibers, the bullet drop compensation markings will not be accurate for different cartridges. Consult Trijicon or a qualified gunsmith if you need a reticle for a different load.
