Trijicon’s Description: The Trijicon 1-8×28 VCOG® (Variable Combat Optical Gunsight) is a highly rugged, variable magnification riflescope designed for close quarter battle (CQB) and long distance marksmanship. With a forged aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminum housing, the VCOG® is nearly indestructible. Superior glass provides exceptional clarity and color with zero distortion. The universal segmented circle/MOA crosshair dot reticle is designed for multi-platform use, accommodating multiple calibers, ammunition weights, and barrel lengths. The first focal plane reticle allows subtensions and drops to remain true at any magnification, allowing the shooter to quickly and accurately apply the correct hold. With ruggedized electronics, the LED reticle is robust enough for any application. Powered by a lithium AA battery (provided), the 1-8×28 VCOG offers a battery life of 633 hours at setting 6. Choose from 11 user-selectable brightness settings, 2 night vision settings, 8 day settings, and 1 super-bright setting. An integrated dial fin allows easy rotation through the magnification range, and a near-constant eye relief means no head or stock position adjustments are needed. Waterproof to 20 meters (66 ft.).
RKB Armory’s Opinion: This is one of our favorite LPVOs! To our calibrated eyeballs, the optical quality is typical Trijicon, which is a very good thing. The housing almost disappears, and the 28 mm objective lens allows for a nice, bright picture. It even runs off of a AA battery. It’s nice having an LPVO, which you know is super tough. This is a worthy successor to the ACOG. The U.S. Marine Corps chose wisely, when they chose the VCOG 1-8.
