The Trijicon VCOG 1-8x28 SCO in FDE is the commercial twin of the U.S. Marine Corps Squad Common Optic, built for shooters who want one optic for both close-range work and precise shots at distance. Trijicon describes it as functionally identical to the Marine Corps SCO, with a forged 7075-T6 aluminum housing, a first focal plane reticle and LED illumination that runs on a single AA battery. This version wears an FDE FIR-265 Cerakote finish and ships ready to mount in a LaRue Tactical LT799 mount, with Tenebraex flip caps and a soft case in the box.
This is the SCO configuration: red MRAD Segmented Circle Enhanced reticle, LaRue LT799 mount and flip caps, finished in FDE. The Q-LOC models in the same FDE finish (VC18-C-2400020 MOA and VC18-C-2400021 MRAD) use a segmented circle/crosshair dot reticle and Trijicon's tool-less quick-release mount instead, and the VC18-C-2400012 is the same SCO package in matte black.
Key features
- SCO-pattern reticle. Red MRAD Segmented Circle Enhanced reticle in the first focal plane, so holds and ranging stay true at every power.
- True 1x to 8x. Fast both-eyes-open shooting at 1x and 0.1 MRAD adjustments with 35 MRAD of travel for longer shots.
- Long battery life. One AA battery gives 633 hours at setting 6, with 11 brightness settings including 2 night-vision-compatible settings.
- LaRue LT799 mount included. No rings to buy; the scope arrives with the same mount specified on the Marine Corps optic.
- Built hard. Forged 7075-T6 aluminum, tested to MIL-STD-810G and waterproof to 66 ft (20 m).
- Near-constant 4 in eye relief. Head position stays the same as you run the integrated magnification fin.
