This video reviews the Gideon Optics Guardian 1-8x24 LPVO, highlighting its utility as an all-in-one optic solution. It discusses the optic's ability to transition from 1x for close-quarters to 8x for extended ranges, noting the clarity of the glass and the reticle design which features a quick-acquisition center dot at 1x and a Christmas tree style reticle with holdovers at higher magnifications. The reviewer successfully tested the optic out to 400 yards.

A year-long review of the Discovery Optics ED-LHT 3-15x50 scope indicates it remains a strong value under $275, praised for its build quality and sharp Japanese ED glass. However, users consistently note a tight eyebox and a reticle that can be too thin for general use, especially in low light. It's considered a good entry-level option for precision shooting up to 400 yards.

This review of the Gunnr Odin 1-10x28 LPVO highlights its first focal plane reticle, 1/4 MOA clicks, and resettable turrets, making it suitable for precision shooting beyond typical LPVO ranges. The reviewer demonstrates zeroing the scope and discusses its effectiveness for longer distances, particularly with its Christmas tree reticle, while noting its impressive eyebox and glass quality despite challenging weather conditions.

This review covers the Discovery Optics ED PRS Gen 2 5-25x56mm First Focal Plane optic. The presenter highlights its substantial build, toolless zero stop, and included accessories like a leveling kit. Initial impressions note the large size and weight, along with some minor concerns about turret alignment and the reticle's visibility at lower magnifications.

This review covers the Monstrum Challenger 5-25x56 FFP scope, highlighting its value proposition at an affordable price point. Key features include a first focal plane reticle, a 56mm objective lens for light gathering, a 30mm tube, audible and tactile turrets with a zero stop, and a side parallax adjustment. The illuminated reticle is noted for its daytime brightness, making it versatile for various shooting conditions and target types.

This review of the Gunnr Odin 1-6x28 LPVO highlights its first focal plane reticle, 1/4 MOA click adjustments, and robust build quality. The reviewer praises its large eyebox, generous eye relief, and the clarity of its German-shot-edge glass. While excellent for precision shooting and targets beyond 100 yards, the reviewer notes the illuminated reticle may not be bright enough for full sun conditions at 1X magnification, making it less ideal for close-quarters combat scenarios compared to second focal plane options.

This review of the Gunner Odin 1-8 LPVO highlights its exceptional value, featuring German Schott ED glass and a first focal plane reticle at an affordable price point. The optic offers daylight bright illumination, locking turrets with a zero stop, and a usable Christmas tree reticle. While it has a slightly heavier build and lacks red dot brightness, its performance punches well above its weight class, making it a disruptive option in the budget LPVO market.

The Monstrum Panzer 1-6x FFP LPVO is a new offering from Monstrum, building on their Panzer line. It features a first focal plane (FFP) reticle that remains proportional to magnification, a new Christmas Tree reticle design with ranging information, and utilizes extra-low dispersion (ED) glass. The 1-6x magnification range offers a more forgiving eye box and eye relief compared to higher magnification LPVOs, making it a practical choice for users who don't require extreme magnification.

This video provides practical instruction on effectively using a rifle scope's reticle for various shooting applications. It covers essential techniques such as zeroing an optic by measuring group centers with the reticle, applying windage and elevation holds, and making corrections based on impact points. The instructor also details advanced uses like measuring wobble zone, calculating speed drop with a Kestrel, and determining maximum point blank range, emphasizing the reticle as a versatile measurement tool.

This guide details a rapid target acquisition technique using the Accufire 1-6 LPVO, as demonstrated by an experienced shooter. The technique focuses on using the optic's large outer reticle ring for fast engagements at close range, bypassing the center dot. It highlights the practical application of an SFP reticle for dynamic shooting scenarios.

This video provides an in-depth look at the Hi-Lux PR5 5-25x56 first focal plane riflescope, highlighting its features for precision shooting competitions like PRS and NRL-22. The presenter, Christopher from Hi-Lux, details its 10-yard minimum parallax, 34mm tube with 110 MOA of adjustment, tactile 1/10 mil locking turrets with stainless steel detents, and a user-friendly pin-style zero stop. The scope also features digital illumination control with memory, night vision compatibility, and comes with accessories like a sunshade and throw lever. The video also touches on Hi-Lux's expertise in reproducing vintage optics, drawing parallels to modern manufacturing.

This review of the Apex Rival 4-32x56 precision rifle scope highlights its exceptional clarity, robust tracking, and user-friendly features. The instructor, with over a year of persistence to obtain the scope, expresses strong satisfaction, noting the Japanese ED glass, precise turrets with 15 mils per rotation, and a superior magnification ring. The scope's reticle is praised for its usability at high magnification, featuring fine aiming points and ranging elements. The instructor plans to purchase the scope for their PRS rifle, recommending it as a top-tier option.
