The Trijicon VCOG 1-8x28 FFP LPVO Rifle Scope MRAD Crosshair Dot Red (SKU VC18-C-2400014) is a 1-8x variable combat optical gunsight with a first focal plane MRAD crosshair dot reticle, an LED lamp bright enough for daylight and dim enough for night vision, and a Q-LOC quick-release mount in the box.
How It Compares
The VCOG is the armoured end of the low-power variable range: a forged 7075-T6 body, a single AA cell rather than a coin battery, and a quick-release mount supplied as standard. This is the milliradian version, with 0.1 MRAD clicks matched to the mil crosshair dot. The VCOG 1-8x28 MOA Crosshair Dot is the same optic in minutes of angle, and the USMC SCO VCOG 1-8x28 is the issued configuration with a LaRue LT799 mount, flip caps and a soft case.

Ideal For
- Duty and service rifles where the optic has to take abuse rather than be looked after
- Shooters who want a full working day of illumination from a battery they can buy anywhere
- Builds that need the optic off and back on again without losing zero, using the Q-LOC mount

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it first or second focal plane?
First — the reticle scales with magnification, so holdovers stay true at every setting.
Is the reticle illuminated?
Yes — an LED with eleven settings: two for night vision, eight for daylight and one super-bright, with off positions between them.
What battery does it take?
One AA cell, lithium or alkaline. A lithium AA is included, and gives about 633 hours of continuous use at setting 6.
Does it come with a mount?
Yes — a Trijicon Q-LOC quick-release mount is supplied with the scope, so nothing further is needed to fit it to a Picatinny rail.
How tough is it?
The body is forged 7075-T6, nitrogen-filled and waterproof to 66 ft (20 m) submersion, and the optic is tested to MIL-STD-810G.
What warranty does it carry?
Trijicon's Limited Lifetime Warranty. Electronics carry a five-year term from date of manufacture.
Is this a genuine Trijicon product?
Yes — factory-new, genuine Trijicon, covered by Trijicon's Limited Lifetime Warranty.
