Q
L, member, from CA, United States, asked on April 08, 2021

How much clearance is there between the battery tube and the receiver picatinny rail? Is there enough height clearance to mount a 45 offset in front?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Armando R., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on May 07, 2021

Trijicon does not provide the height clearance measurement you are looking for, but there are a bunch of examples of end users having a 45 degree offset mounted in front and under the battery compartment of the VCOG. Please be aware that this is not a guarantee as 45 degree offsets vary greatly depending on whether its a red dot, iron sights and the angle/height at which the 45 degree offset sits depending on the platform. If you need an exact measurement you will need to reach out to Trijicon here:

Bigdaddy85, member, from OH, United States, asked on November 05, 2022

What should this scope be zerod at? Are those bullet drop compensating markers?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on November 09, 2022

The Trijicon VCOG VC18 1-8x28mm Rifle Scope reticle has MRAD or MOA holdover and windage marks. The distance you should sight in the rifle will depend on the caliber and how far your will be shooting. However, a 100 yard zero will work for .223/5.56 or .308.

Are rechargeable AA batteries ideal for this?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on August 19, 2022

Trijicon recommends and provides a lithium AA battery for their VCOG VC18 1-8x28mm Rifle Scope. Trijicon does not provide information regarding using rechargeable AA batteries, I'd recommend reaching out to them directly for more information.

How much longer and heavier is 1x8then 1x6? When attaching the M.I. 2 lever vcog QD mount will I have room behind it for trijicon 45degree rmr mount?

Expert Answer

Answered by Armando R., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on May 07, 2021

You shouldn't run into any issues mounting a 45 degree offset under the eyepiece. The standard 1-6x24 has the following dimensions:

Length x Width x Height
10.05 in x 2.51 in x 2.73 in
(255.27mm x 63.75mm x 69.34mm)

Weight: 23.2 OZ

The 1-8x VCOG has the following dimensions:

Length x Width x Height
10.8 in x 2.8 in x 2.8 in
(274.32mm x 71.12mm x 71.12mm)

Weight: 31.5 OZ

What would be the nearest equivalent optics height (full co-witness, lower 1/3 co-witness, etc.)?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Armando R., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on May 07, 2021

The height is going to be closer to a lower 1/3rd height, but Trijicon does not provide the optical height of the VCOG's over a picatinny rail.
