The TRIJICON VCOG 1-8x28 MOA RED Q-LOC from Trijicon is a rugged variable magnification riflescope built for close-quarters battle and long-range precision, featuring a forged 7075-T6 aluminum housing for near-indestructible durability and superior glass that delivers exceptional clarity with zero distortion. Its first focal plane reticle uses a universal segmented circle MOA crosshair dot design, maintaining true subtensions and drops across the 1-8x magnification so holds are accurate at any power, while the LED illumination provides a robust red reticle with 11 user-selected brightness settings, including 2 night-vision presets, 8 daytime settings, and a super-bright option to adapt to any lighting. Powered by a readily available AA battery, the scope offers up to 633 hours of operation at setting 6 and employs a near-constant eye relief with an integrated dial to traverse the magnification range smoothly. The VCOG is water resistant to 66 feet and uses Trijicons Q-LOC mount for reliable return-to-zero, one-handed mounting, compatibility with Mil-Spec or NATO Picatinny rails, and a low-profile design. This model includes a 28mm objective, 28mm objective size, red reticle, and BAC compatibility, delivering precise ballistic holds across calibers with a compact, USA-made build.
