I am building an M1A SOCOM 16 into an EBR. Is this the scope for the project? Will it handle the "hit" of the M1 .308? Expert Answer

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

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:

Proven VCOG got an upgrade by Matt S., Gear Expert, September 6, 2019
Bombproof, rock solid VCOG now with 8x magnification. I love how turn key this optic is, everything you need perfectly assembled. Just take it out of the box and mount it on your rifle. While the reticle isn't my favorite, it definitely gets the jo...

6.5 Application by Miller, Verified Owner, July 11, 2023
The VCOG having been my first Trijicon optic, has set the bar (very) high in regards to build quality and performance. This thing is an absolute tank. Solid build, precision out of the box. The biggest cons would be weight and relying on batteries bu...

Gruntproof Scope by LDB, Verified Owner, March 3, 2020
This thing is build like a tank. The only reason it does not get 5 stars is the weight of the optic. I can see why the USMC chose this particular scope. If you run out of ammo in a fight, you can take the scope off the rifle and use it as a club! ...

The big VCOG by rogers, Verified Owner, September 30, 2020
I put this scope on a Q Fix rifle. Its a great focal range for the woods up here in the Northeast. Looks like the biggest gripe about the vcog is the weigh, compare it to a vortex 1-6 with a scope mount It's comparable. The forged housing is unbeliev...

Product Info for Trijicon VCOG VC18 1-8x28mm Rifle Scope, 34 mm Tube, First Focal Plane (FFP)

The Trijicon 1-8x28 VCOG (Variable Combat Optical Gunsight) is a highly rugged, variable magnification Rifle Scope 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.image

The universal segmented circle 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 1-8x28 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.).
