Trijicon Vcog 1-8X28 Riflescope Ffp Red Moa Crosshair Dot Illum W/ Thumbscr

The Trijicon VCOG 1-8x28 riflescope is a first focal plane combat optic built on the same proven design as the USMC Squad Common Optic. This is a scope engineered for shooters who need to move between close-quarters engagement and longer-distance precision without switching glass. The 1-8x magnification range covers the full spectrum—from quick target acquisition at low power to extended-range accuracy at full zoom—while the segmented circle/crosshair reticle with MOA wind-hold subtensions works across multiple calibers and barrel lengths without caliber-specific adjustments.

Built from forged 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum and tested to MIL-STD-810G military durability standards, the VCOG won't fail when it matters. The illuminated red reticle runs on a single AA lithium battery (included) with 633 hours of runtime at mid-brightness, and you get 11 user-selectable brightness levels—two for night vision use, eight for daylight, plus a super-bright mode. A constant eye relief of 4 inches means no adjustment to your head position as you change magnification, and the integrated LaRue Tactical mount or thumbscrew adapter lets you get on rail quickly without hunting for rings.

The first focal plane design keeps reticle subtensions true at any magnification, so your wind holds and distance corrections work the same whether you're running 1x or 8x. The scope delivers exceptional optical clarity through multi-coated glass with zero distortion, and it's waterproof to 66 feet—solid in rain or dust. At 28 ounces and under 11 inches long, it balances weight and capability on modern rifle platforms.
