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

The Trijicon VCOG 1-6x24 rifle scope is a variable-power optic built for shooters who need to move fluidly between close-quarters and distance work. The 1-6x magnification range keeps both eyes in the fight at low power while delivering enough glass at 6x for precise shots past 100 yards. Paired with the horseshoe dot/crosshair reticle calibrated for .308 Winchester 175-grain ammunition, this scope handles the job—whether you're doing tactical training, hunting, or running a professional operation where durability and speed matter equally.

The VCOG's first focal plane design means the reticle's ranging subtensions and bullet drop holds remain mathematically true at any magnification you dial. That's the kind of consistency that saves rounds and confidence downrange. The scope comes mated to Trijicon's TA51 thumb screw mount, so you're ready to attach it and go. Waterproof to 20 meters, it'll stand up to wet field conditions without compromise. A single AA battery—alkaline or lithium—powers the LED illumination through six brightness settings, and you get a lithium cell in the box to start.

At 23.2 ounces and with a constant 4-inch eye relief, the VCOG sits comfortably on any modern rifle platform without requiring head position adjustments between magnifications. The housing is forged 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, hard enough to take a beating and stay in zero. If you're looking for a scope that bridges the gap between CQB speed and rifle range precision without any fussiness, the Trijicon VCOG delivers the kind of rugged, no-nonsense glass that professionals and serious hunters trust.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in the box?

The VCOG ships with a TA51 thumb screw mount, a lithium AA battery, a LENSPEN lens cleaner, a Trijicon logo sticker, a manual, and a warranty card. You're ready to mount and shoot out of the box.

Is this scope suitable for hunting and long-range shooting?

Yes. The 1-6x magnification handles everything from close-range work to distance, and the .308/175-grain calibrated reticle is purpose-built for that round. The first focal plane design ensures bullet drop holds remain accurate across the full magnification range, which is critical for ethical long-range hunting.

How long does the battery last?

With a lithium AA battery (which is included), you'll get approximately 700 hours of continuous use at brightness setting 4. Alkaline batteries will run for about 1400 hours at the same brightness level, though lithium batteries are recommended and last longer overall in field use.

What does first focal plane mean, and does it matter?

First focal plane means the reticle sits in front of the scope's magnification lens. That matters because the ranging reticle subtensions and bullet drop compensation holds remain true at any magnification you select—1x, 3x, 6x, or anywhere in between. Second focal plane scopes require you to dial to a specific magnification for the reticle math to work, which adds complexity in the field. FFP is faster and more reliable when you're moving between distances.
