Overview

The Trijicon VCOG 1-6x24 is a first focal plane rifle scope built around a red segmented circle and crosshair reticle calibrated for .223 55-grain loads, aimed at duty and precision rifle use.

Because it is first focal plane, the ballistic reticle stays accurate for holdovers at any magnification setting rather than only at one fixed power, which matters for anyone actually using the bullet drop compensation. Runtime is rated from a single AA lithium battery rather than a proprietary cell, simplifying field replacement.

  • 1-6x24 first focal plane rifle scope
  • Red segmented circle and crosshair reticle for .223/55gr
  • 90 MOA windage and elevation, 0.5 MOA clicks
  • Up to 700 hours illumination runtime on one AA battery

Who it's for

Shooters running .223/5.56 with 55-grain ammunition who want a low-power variable optic with a true first focal plane ballistic reticle. Less relevant to shooters using other calibers, since the reticle is specifically matched to that load.

Pros and cons
