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

The Trijicon 1-6x24 VCOG rifle scope is a variable-power combat optic purpose-built for shooters who need flexibility from close quarters to extended distance. Built on the Bindon Aiming Concept, this 1-6x magnification scope is equally at home in a tactical rifle setup, a modern sporting rifle, or a dedicated hunting carbine. The first focal plane reticle geometry and bullet-drop-compensating design give you ballistically true holdovers at any power, and the segmented circle / crosshair pattern — calibrated for .223 / 55 grain ammunition — lets you quickly range and engage without a calculator.

Trijicon engineered the VCOG around real-world performance: 4 inches of constant eye relief means you can shoot from the same head position no matter where you dial the magnification. The forged 7075-T6 aluminum housing is as tough as military-grade optics get, and the variable reticle illumination runs on a single AA battery with 1400 hours of runtime at mid-range brightness. An integrated magnification dial and TA51 thumb-screw mount complete the package—nothing proprietary, nothing fussy. It's rated waterproof to 66 feet and delivers the optical clarity and light-gathering you'd expect from Trijicon's reputation in precision glass.

If you're running a modern rifle platform and want the versatility to go from point-blank reactive shooting to longer engagements without fumbling with magnification or holdover math, the VCOG deserves a serious look. The first focal plane design means your reticle subtensions remain true across the entire zoom range, and the included lithium AA battery (plus accessories like a LENSPEN and TA51 mount) get you running immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in the box with the Trijicon VCOG?

Each VCOG ships with a TA51 thumb-screw mount, a lithium AA battery, a LENSPEN lens cleaning pen, a Trijicon logo sticker, the user manual, and a warranty card. You're ready to attach and shoot right away.

Is the 1-6x24 VCOG a first focal plane scope?

Yes. The reticle sits in the first focal plane, which means your bullet-drop compensator and ranging subtensions remain true and accurate at every magnification level from 1x to 6x. You don't have to do math or guess which reticle line to use when you change power.

How long does the battery last on the VCOG?

With a lithium AA battery at brightness setting 4 (mid-range), you get 1400 hours of continuous runtime. The scope runs on either alkaline or lithium AAs, and the brightness dial has 6 positions so you can dial it up in bright conditions or down for night use.

What rifles and calibers is the VCOG reticle calibrated for?

This specific model is calibrated for .223 / 55 grain ammunition. The first focal plane design ensures your holdovers work correctly at any magnification, making it a solid choice for Modern Sporting Rifles, tactical carbines, and .223 hunting setups.
