steviesterno Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Looks great, I love my 1-4! I like the bullet hold over hash marks, that's a lot different than the green triangle. What's the expected street price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcloudy777 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Cool write up. Everything Trijicon makes is good stuff, but I want to ask: The VCOG is pretty close to Swaro money... is it in the same league? Better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccoker Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 This is not my scope, just reviewing it for my site. It is a very well designed and executed scope. Initial impressions are positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan 45 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) Cool write up. Everything Trijicon makes is good stuff, but I want to ask: The VCOG is pretty close to Swaro money... is it in the same league? Better? VCOG- Variable Combat Optic Gunsight Think variable ACOG. I'd say durability alone makes it better than a Swaro. Pat- this thing is bright. If the picture looks like the reticle is washed out, it's because the brightness isn't turned up.

Lead-Head Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Truly daylight bright. I can testify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccoker Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 Yes It is daylight bright. Glass is very good, not quite top end euro level. It is compact. Built in mount makes install fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chills1994 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Looks great, I love my 1-4! I like the bullet hold over hash marks, that's a lot different than the green triangle. What's the expected street price? You piqued my curiosity about the street price. SWFA has them listed at $2,380. Cha ching! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthyBlagga Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) I really wanted one of these... but looking at Mark's head position, now I'm not so sure. The mount design looks like it will not be compatible with a nose-to-charging-handle head position. I much prefer the consistency of the NTCH index. Is there any adjustment of eye relief built into the mount, or is it a solid one-piece affair? I'm not sure I want the mount to bridge onto the handguard.

jaredr Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 okay, not that i'm running out tomorrow to drop >$2K on an optic, but the scope+base construction is a deal killer for me, robs me of any flexibility to move the scope forward or back within the rings in order to get optimal head position while keeping mount solely on the upper. it's possible that the eye relief would just be perfect and I wouldn't need to worry about this but that's a big bet to make when i'm dropping that kind of cash on a scope.

Chills1994 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 According to this link: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_18/611666_Trijicon_new_VCOG_1_6x24.html a Bobro mount is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaredr Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 i see a QD mount version is available but don't see any reference to a bobro mount in trijicon's materials. ar15.com thread was from may 2013 so maybe they had some early release info that didn't pan out? either way, at more than $2K it's shortcomings are probably not real-world problems for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chills1994 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Yeah, for that kinda money, I think I'd rather have a DR Spectre. Or a Swaro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chills1994 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 About the only other place you could put a AA battery compartment is on the occular bell, and I don't know how well that would work being a variable. So you're back to using those coin shaped lithium batteries in a compartment that looks like a windage knob on the left hand side, in order to get a scope that can adjust for eye relief in better than Picatinny rail spacing increments.

urnsrus Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Where are they available? Played with one at the Grand Slam in Reno earlier this year and have been dying to get my hands on one, however none in sight. Have a message out to Midway USA thinking that their buying power, they should be on the front end of the slope, but have not heard from them.
