The Trijicon VCOG 1-8x28 USMC SCO LPVO Rifle Scope MRAD Segmented Circle Red with LaRue LT799 Mount (SKU VC18-C-2400012) is the USMC Squad Common Optic configuration of the VCOG: a 1-8x first focal plane rifle scope with the red MRAD Segmented Circle Enhanced reticle, supplied on a LaRue Tactical LT799 quick-detach mount with Tenebraex flip caps and a soft case.
How It Compares
What sets this apart from the other VCOGs is the package and the reticle. The SCO build is the one adopted as the US Marine Corps Squad Common Optic, and it arrives complete on the LaRue LT799 mount rather than as a bare scope. Its reticle combines a segmented circle for speed at 1x with an MRAD crosshair dot and wind holds for distance. The bare-scope alternatives are the VCOG 1-8x28 with the red MOA crosshair dot and the VCOG 1-8x28 with the red MRAD crosshair dot.

Ideal For
- AR-pattern and straight-pull carbine builds wanting a complete, mounted optic
- Shooters who need true 1x speed and 8x reach from one scope
- Duty and competition use where the LT799 quick-detach mount earns its place
