Modern rifle platforms demand optics that bridge the gap between close-quarters engagement and long-range precision. A single sight that offers true subtensions at any magnification, rugged construction, and intuitive ranging tools can be the difference between a confident shot and a guess.

TRIJICON VCOG delivers a purpose-built solution with a 16×24 variable combat optical gunsight designed for both CQB and extended marksmanship. Shop this product

Key features and optical performance

The TRIJICON VCOG offers superior glass quality and light-gathering with zero distortion across its magnification range. Its 16×24 configuration provides a clear field for long-distance observation while remaining compact enough for closer work. The first focal plane reticle ensures subtensions and BDC drops remain true at any magnification, enabling rapid holds and range estimation without mental math.

Reticle & illumination

Built-in bullet drop compensating (BDC) and ranging reticles make elevation and range application quick and repeatable. An LED reticle with six adjustable brightness settings runs on a single AA battery — a universally available power source. Using the provided lithium AA extends run time dramatically, with up to 700 hours at setting 4 constant-on.

Construction and field durability

The housing is forged from 7075-T6 aircraft aluminum alloy, giving the TRIJICON VCOG military-grade toughness that resists shock and harsh handling. Waterproof rating to 20 meters (66 ft.) and a constant eye relief reduce the need for stock or head-position adjustments. An integrated dial fin simplifies magnification changes under stress.

Price for this precision sight is $2270.99, reflecting its premium optical package and rugged construction. View product details and pricing
