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

The Trijicon VCOG 1-6x24 rifle scope is a variable-power optic designed to handle everything from close-quarters shooting to reaching out at distance. Built on the Bindon Aiming Concept, this first focal plane scope pairs a 1x magnification setting—ideal for fast target acquisition in tight spaces—with a 6x magnification for precision work at longer range. The 24mm objective and constant 4-inch eye relief mean you'll stay consistent behind the gun regardless of which power you're running, making it equally at home on a carbine, AR, or precision rifle platform.

What sets the VCOG apart is its reticle system. The segmented circle and crosshair design calibrated for .223 / 77 grain ammunition lets you estimate range and compensate for bullet drop without reaching for a ballistics calculator. The first focal plane mounting means your reticle subtensions stay true across the entire magnification range—no guessing when you're dialed down. The LED reticle comes in red with six brightness settings, letting you dial in the exact intensity for your lighting conditions. A single AA battery (lithium included) will run the scope for 700 hours at setting 4, so real-world battery anxiety is minimal.

Trijicon built the VCOG to endure. The forged 7075-T6 aluminum housing is aircraft-grade tough, and the scope is waterproof to 20 meters. Weight comes in at 23.2 ounces without mount, keeping your rifle balanced. The included TA51 thumb screw mount gets you in the fight quickly, and the package rounds out with a lithium AA battery, lens pen, and manual—everything you need to mount and shoot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the VCOG on an AR-15 or carbine?

Yes. The VCOG's 1x magnification, compact size, and included TA51 mount make it well-suited to AR platforms and modern carbines. The constant eye relief eliminates the need to adjust your head position when moving between magnification levels, which is a major advantage in close-quarters or transitional shooting.

Is the reticle calibrated for my ammo?

This VCOG is specifically calibrated for .223 / 77 grain ammunition. If you shoot different loads, the bullet drop compensating reticle will still function, but the holdovers may not align perfectly. Always verify your actual point of impact at your shooting distances before relying on the reticle for critical shots.

How long does the battery last?

With a lithium AA battery at brightness setting 4 (continuous on), you'll get 700 hours of run time. That's nearly a month of 24/7 operation—or roughly a season of regular hunting or range use on a single battery. The scope accepts standard alkaline AAs too, so spares are easy to find anywhere in the world.

What comes in the box?

The package includes the scope, TA51 thumb screw mount, one lithium AA battery, a LENSPEN lens cleaning tool, a Trijicon logo sticker, the user manual, and a warranty card.
