I got a look at the VCOG at the NRA convention in Houston, and was pretty underwhelmed by it. I could see no justification for its price tag. I have no doubt it's very tough and rugged, but other than having the mounts integral with the rest of the body casting, there was nothing else about it that I thought was superior to a SS 1-6, even if the price was the same. The reticle in the show sample was also visibly canted at what looked to be about 3-deg. Optically, it's nothing special either. I could see it being a decent option if it were priced at about $1200... and the canted reticle isn't typical.
