Trijicon VCOG 1-6×24 Riflescope Review

Built Quality

This Trijicon 1-6x24mm VCOG Scope housing is built using forged aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, it ensures the durability of this scope.

The U.S Defense Department tested the built quality of this scope. This scope does not get scratched even if you accidentally drop this scope a couple of times.

This VCOG scope comes with the mounting adapter, and the built has shockproof; it assures strong and durable construction. This scope can easily withstand heavy caliber, too, and it does not resist this scope’s performance.

Due to the durable construction, you don’t need any mounting ring to mount this scope. You can easily and quickly mount this scope on any mounting rail by using the mounting adaptor. Due to the durable built of this scope it one of the best scope for .308. 

Reticle and Magnification

When coming to the reticle in VCOG scopes, it is very tricky to choose because Trijicon provides 16 different reticle options to choose. You can choose one of them based on your preference, and also you can select either green or red color depending on your environment.

The reticle in the Trijicon VCOG 1-6X24mm scope is placed in the first focal plane, so the size of the reticle is also changed based on the magnification range. It ensures the pinpoint accuracy of the target in all magnification range.

The Horseshoe reticle is designed in this Trijicon VCOG 1-6X24mm scope; it allows you to rapid target acquisition, so this is the perfect choice for the shooters who are performing in the tactical environmental conditions, and also it is a great choice for the hunters who are want to operate in the intended range of this scope.

Comes to this scope’s intended range, it has a variable magnification range up to 1-6X with a 24 mm objective lens. By using the turret, you can easily switch between this magnification range.

This Trijicon VCOG 1-6X24mm Scope is designed with the illuminated feature, which has 6 brightness settings; you can set the reticle’s brightness level based on the lighting condition of your environment. 

Eye Relief

This Trijicon VCOG 1-6X 24mm Scope has a constant eye relief distance so that the distance between your eye and the weapon will be stable in all magnification range.

This scope’s eye relief distance is 4-inches; you don’t need to adjust how far your place the ocular lens from you. The 4-inch eye relief gives more flexibility than the 11/2 inches that gives in other scopes.

Due to the constant eye relief distance, you don’t need to change your head position in every magnification range. This is the key component for accuracy. 

Adjustments

When it comes to the build of the elevation, windage, and parallax adjustment turret of the Trijicon VCOG 1-6X 24mm scope, it does not slump.

These turrets are moving smoothly and cleanly every time of use, and you can shift forward or backward or left for each increment.

The turret has a clear cut to measure the increment that you moved, even though it is ideally more precise for great performance.

The parallax turret is placed above the scope, and this turret also includes the illuminated reticle control.

This turret is greatly built for the parallax compensation in the scope, but it is a bit tricky to use perfectly, so you have to make sure that you are not changing the illuminated setting at the same time. 

Any-Light Aiming System

Nowadays, Trijicon builds the most accurate riflescope using the innovative application of tritium.

The VCOG perfectly works in all lighting conditions. Having the riflescope with this feature makes for a great experience for the hunters.

The Trijicon VCOG 1-6X 24mm scope proves the pinpoint accuracy in any lighting conditions. Due to the advanced fiber-optics feature, the Trijicon makes the revolution among riflescopes.

Weather Proof

The forged aircraft-grade aluminum housing ensures the waterproof feature of this scope. Due to the durable construction of this scope, it is performing well in all weather conditions.

The nitrogen is purged into the scope, so the scope is completely fog proof. The nitrogen purge is to eliminate the fogging inside the scope in rainy and cold weather conditions to provide a crisp and clear image of the target.

This Trijicon VCOG 1-6X 24mm scopes also has the shockproof feature, so it also performs well in heavy recoil. 

Battery

The Lithium AA battery is used as a power source of this scope. When you choose the green illumination at 4 of 6 brightness settings, it will work continuously 1400 hours without any problem, as well as when you choose red illumination, it will continuously work 700 hours.

Due to this scope’s uninterrupted power provision, it is an efficient choice for long-day hunting.

It does not matter how many days you are planning for camping; you can take this scope with you without any spare battery. 

Mounting Option

The weight of the VCOG scopes is more than the average scopes. The weight of this scope is 23 oz without adding the AA battery and mounting system.

Thus, you have to pair this scope with the heavy-duty rifle, and you have to decide between the ring or rail for mounting. 

When choosing the ring for mounting this scope, there is an advantage for you; it does not add extra weight.

But this Trijicon VCOG 1-6X 24mm scope already comes with the rail mounting system, so it is better to stick to that mounting system.

Anyhow it will add a few ounces of weight to the overall build. that’s not the big deal because this scope is already heavy in weight. 

Best for Tactical shooting

The VCOG scopes are always considered as the tactical rifle scopes for the high action and the automatic platforms. This scope will perfectly paired with the Ar-15 and M-16 rifles.

Due to the variable magnification range of this scope, you can rapidly change the magnification range to make the perfect choice for CQB to long-range shooting.

This scope is the best option for tactical combat because of its various illuminated reticle feature, so you can change the illumination based on your environmental lighting condition for perfect accuracy.

It is also performed as the normal hunting scope. The durable construction of this scope ensures that this scope performs well in both the tactical and hunting scenarios.
