Trijicon VCOG Cantilever Mount - Precision Optic Mounting Solution for Tactical and Hunting Applications

The Trijicon VCOG Cantilever Mount is a precision optic mounting solution built to handle demanding tactical and hunting applications. Engineered specifically for the compact Trijicon VCOG and compatible ACOG platforms, this cantilever mount lets you dial in proper eye relief and lock your optic into place on any Mil-Spec or NATO Picatinny rail without sacrificing a zero. If you're running a modern rifle platform—patrol, precision, or hunting—and need a lightweight, reliable way to mount a quality compact scope, this mount delivers.

The design centers on speed and repeatability. A one-handed, tool-less mounting system gets your optic on the gun fast, and the spring-loaded mechanism maintains constant retention so your zero stays true even if the knobs loosen up. Trijicon engineered this mount from 6061-T6 aluminum (Mil-Spec drop test rated) and finished it in matte black anodize, keeping weight down and profile low while resisting the abuse a serious rifle sees. The cantilever design lets you shift your optic fore and aft along the rail to dial in your sight picture, a feature that pays dividends when you're setting up a rifle for a specific shooter or use case.

Return to zero is where this mount earns respect. Whether you're removing the optic for cleaning, swapping guns, or verifying zero after transport, the spring-tension system and rock-solid Picatinny interface bring you back on target. Made in the USA, it's the kind of accessory that works in the background until you need it to work hard.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Trijicon VCOG Cantilever Mount compatible with my rifle's Picatinny rail?

Yes. This mount is designed to work with any Mil-Spec or NATO Picatinny rail, so it will fit standard AR platforms, bolt-action rifles with Picatinny tops, and other modern weapon systems that use the universal rail standard.

Can I adjust the position of my optic on this mount?

Yes. The cantilever design allows you to slide your optic forward and backward along the Picatinny rail to achieve proper eye relief and customize your sight picture for your specific setup and eye position.

Does this mount hold zero if I remove the optic and remount it?

The spring-loaded retention mechanism and solid Picatinny interface are designed for superior return to zero, so you should be able to remove and remount your optic repeatedly and return to your point of aim. Always verify zero at the range after any major equipment change.

What torque should I use when mounting this to my rail?

Trijicon specifies a torque range of 12–16 in./lbs. using spring tension alone, or up to 44–66 in./lbs. if you tighten fully. Follow the manufacturer's guidance and use a torque wrench to avoid over-tightening.
