Nice!

Actually though, I will have to think about it. And see if it is anyway superior to other options I turned down and chose the ACOG.

Wow. Looks awesome, although I would likely have to sell my motorcycle to buy one.

**jpmuscle** · 05-01-13, 01:28

Certainly looks promising.

What does it weigh?

23 oz w/o mount and battery
4" eye relief
10" long

I see a lot of pictures with an RMR on or with the VCOG. Why bother with a 1-6x? If you're going to run an RMR, why not use a 6x ACOG?

Meh, yet another overweight low power variable. Someone call me when they make a 1-6 or 1-8 that doesn't weigh enough to **** up the balance and handling of a lightweight rifle.

I think they made it extra rugged and thus heavy, on purpose.

I like the 700 hr battery life a lot though. And I was never a fan of scope rings.
