The Trijicon VCOG 1-8x28 FFP LPVO Rifle Scope MOA Crosshair Dot Red (SKU VC18-C-2400013) is a 1-8x first focal plane rifle scope with the red MOA crosshair dot reticle, LED illumination on eleven settings from a single AA battery, and a Q-LOC quick-release mount included.
How It Compares
The VCOG is Trijicon's armoured LPVO: a forged 7075-T6 body, submersion to 66 ft (20 m) and MIL-STD-810G testing, with eye relief that stays near-constant through the zoom range so your head does not move on the stock. This is the MOA unit, with 1/4 MOA clicks and 120 MOA of travel; the mil version is the VCOG 1-8x28 with the red MRAD crosshair dot. If you want it supplied on a LaRue LT799 mount with flip caps and a case, that is the USMC SCO VCOG package. Browse all LPVO rifle scopes, AR-15 optics or the full Trijicon optics range.
Ideal For
- Hard-use AR-pattern and straight-pull carbines that need a scope built like a prism optic
- Shooters who want true 1x and 8x from one scope without changing cheek position
- Set-ups that need a quick-release mount included rather than bought separately
