Trijicon 1-6x24 VCOG Rifle Scope Black, Segmented Circle / Crosshair .223 / 77 Grain Reticle

The Trijicon 1-6x24 VCOG rifle scope is a variable-power optic built for the shooter who needs to move seamlessly between close-quarters and distance work. From a home-defense AR-15 to a rifle used for hunting or tactical training, this scope handles the full spectrum: power down to 1x for active target acquisition and CQB situations, or crank to 6x for precision shots at range. The 24mm objective keeps things compact without sacrificing light transmission, and the first focal plane reticle ensures your ranging marks and hold points stay true regardless of what magnification you dial in.

What sets the VCOG apart is the combination of intelligent engineering and real-world durability. The segmented circle and crosshair reticle is calibrated for .223 ammunition running 77-grain projectiles—a popular match-grade combination for precision rifle work—and lets you read range and apply bullet-drop compensation quickly without a calculator. The forged 7075-T6 aluminum housing is aerospace-grade material designed to absorb recoil abuse and environmental punishment alike. Add waterproofing to 20 meters, constant eye relief across the magnification range (4 inches), and LED illumination in green with six brightness settings, and you have a sighting system that adapts to your shooting conditions, not the other way around.

The VCOG runs on a single AA battery—either alkaline or lithium—and a lithium cell will give you substantial runtime at moderate brightness. It ships with the TA51 thumb-screw mount, a fresh lithium battery, a lens pen, and documentation, so you're ready to mount and shoot the same day. At 23.2 ounces without mount or battery, it's light enough to leave on a rifle all day without fatigue but substantive enough to feel like serious glass.

Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in the box?

The VCOG ships with the scope, a TA51 thumb-screw mount, one lithium AA battery, a LENSPEN lens cleaning tool, a Trijicon logo sticker, your manual, and a warranty card. You'll have everything needed to mount and use the scope immediately.

Can I use an alkaline battery instead of lithium?

Yes. The VCOG operates on any standard AA battery—alkaline or lithium. A lithium cell will deliver longer runtime at moderate brightness settings; the specs above reflect performance with lithium power.

Is the 1-6x VCOG good for AR-15 hunting and tactical applications?

The 1x low end makes it excellent for close-range shooting and CQB scenarios, while 6x provides enough magnification for precision work at intermediate distances. The reticle is calibrated for .223 / 77 grain ammunition, making it well-suited to AR platforms running that load. Its compact 24mm objective and manageable weight also work well on mid-length or carbine-length rifles.

Will the reticle hold true across all magnification levels?

Yes. The first focal plane design means your ranging marks, hold points, and bullet-drop compensation remain accurate whether you're at 1x or 6x. The segmented circle and crosshair will scale proportionally as you adjust power.
