  • Consistent Reticle Subtensions: As you change magnification, the reticle scales proportionally with the target. This ensures that any holdover points, ranging capabilities, or windage corrections built into the reticle remain accurate and true across the entire 1-6x magnification range. You don't need to do any mental math or remember specific magnification settings for your reticle to be accurate – it just works. This is a significant advantage for precise engagements at varying distances.
  • Rapid Ranging and Holdovers: The MOA (Minute of Angle) based reticle provides precise reference points for elevation and windage adjustments, allowing for quick and accurate compensation for bullet drop and wind drift. The segmented circle offers a rapid acquisition point for close-in engagements, while the fine crosshair provides precision for longer shots.
• LED Illuminated Reticle with Exceptional Battery Life: The green LED illumination ensures rapid reticle visibility against diverse backgrounds, from dense foliage to dark targets. With six user-selectable brightness settings, you can perfectly tailor the illumination to any ambient light condition, from bright daylight to dim twilight. What truly sets the VCOG apart is its incredible battery life: an astounding 1,400 hours of constant-on operation at setting 4, powered by a single, readily available AA battery. This eliminates concerns about specialized batteries and provides unparalleled reliability for extended periods in the field. This addresses a common pain point for users: "What is the best scope with long battery life that uses common batteries?"
