Recommendations for a LPVO?

alanmc

Hi all,

Anybody got any recommendations for a decent LPVO? Budget is around €500. Not a fan of the horseshoe reticle found in most of 'em. Prefer a crosshair.

Thanks in advance,

alanmc.

Got an idea of the range of zoom you want, ie 1-6, 1-10?

Also, SFP or FFP?

And, probably final question unless I think of another, likely distances you'd be using it at?

Reason I ask the latter is red dot w magnifier can be better depending on the application & distance.

I too am curious. I’d have a much bigger budget in mind for one. Anyone using a EOtech plus magnifier?

1-6 24mm obj. Up to 300m range. SFP is fine for me.

Most of those magnifiers are 3x I think? Might be a little too low.

I had a scope from Vector Optics a few years ago that was really impressive build and quality for the price, I've kinda kept an eye on the companies progress since and they are steadily gaining a great reputation. Really good crowd to deal and communicate with.

This might suit you but if not drop them a message and ask have they anything more suitable.

Fair enough, what would be the closest you would be looking to shoot with it?

Reason I ask is a red dot and magnifier(5x can be gotten relatively easily now) is a faster option at closer ranges, and good at up to 300 if you know your holdovers/MPBR.

For an 1-6 have a look at this:

Most LPVOs have a variation of the horseshoe reticle or similar so a simple crosshair isn't the easiest to find.

I have a vortex strike eagle 1-6x24. Its30mm ring and illuminated. I

have the horseshoe reticle which I like - I'm not sure if it comes with

crosshairs. Built like a tank but a bit heavy would be my only criticism.
