In the world of optics, ruggedness and precision are paramount. The Trijicon 1-8x28 VCOG® (Variable Combat Optical Gunsight) stands as a testament to this principle, offering an unparalleled combination of durability and optical excellence. Built from forged aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminum, this riflescope is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while maintaining its integrity.
The heart of the VCOG is its superior glass quality, which delivers exceptional clarity and true color rendition with zero distortion—a critical factor whether engaging in close-quarter battle or reaching out for long-distance marksmanship. Its universal segmented circle/MRAD crosshair dot reticle provides versatility across different platforms, accommodating various calibers, ammunition weights, and barrel lengths.
A notable feature of this optic is its first focal plane reticle design. This ensures that subtensions and ballistic drops remain accurate at any magnification level—an advantage that allows shooters to apply precise holds quickly under diverse shooting scenarios.
Ruggedized electronics within the VCOG provide a robust LED reticle powered by a lithium AA battery (included), boasting an impressive battery life of up to 633 hours on setting six. Users can choose from eleven brightness settings: two for night vision operations, eight for daylight use, plus one super-bright option for extreme lighting conditions.
The scope's user-friendly features include an integrated dial fin enabling smooth magnification adjustments without altering head or stock positions due to consistent eye relief. Moreover, it offers waterproof capabilities down to 20 meters (66 feet), ensuring reliability in adverse weather or aquatic environments.
Complementing the optic itself is the Trijicon VCOG Mount with Q-LOC™ Technology—crafted from Mil-Spec drop test rated 6061-T6 aluminum featuring a tool-less mounting system designed for quick deployment with one hand operation. The spring-loaded mechanism guarantees retention even if knobs are not fully tightened while delivering outstanding return-to-zero performance on any Mil-Spec or NATO Picatinny rail—all wrapped in a low-profile matte black anodized finish proudly made in the USA.
