This review of the Primary Arms GLX 1x Prism Optic with ACSS reticle highlights its suitability for shooters with astigmatism and those preferring non-battery-dependent aiming. The optic offers daylight-bright illumination, a durable build, and versatile reticle features for various shooting scenarios. It's presented as a strong mid-tier option compared to red dots, with considerations for weight and mount durability.
This review of the Primary Arms PLX C 1-8 SFP LPVO highlights its premium features, including Japanese ED glass for exceptional clarity, daylight-bright ACSS Nova Fiber reticle, and Autolive motion sensing technology. The optic excels at both one-power red dot functionality and eight-power magnification, offering a versatile solution for various shooting applications.
This review of the Primary Arms PLXc Griffin M8 Mil LPVO highlights its excellent Japanese glass, lightweight design, and versatile 1-8x magnification. While praised for its clarity and edge-to-edge performance, the review notes limitations such as fixed parallax at 100 yards and a magnification ring that can become stiff with use. The M8 reticle is discussed in detail, with a focus on its Christmas tree for ranging and its usability across different magnifications. The optic is recommended for its value in the $1000+ LPVO market, particularly for competition shooting like 3-Gun, but is not ideal for extreme long-range engagements.
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.
This review of the Athlon Midas BTR Gen 2 LPVO highlights its suitability for 3-gun competition, noting its lightweight design, audible and tactile turrets with 0.25 MOA clicks, and a daylight-bright illumination system. The reviewer found the optic to be well-constructed with a clear image across its 1x to 6x magnification range, though brightness diminishes at maximum power. It features a simplified ACSS-style reticle and is priced under $500, offering good value.
This review of the Hi-Lux CMR 1-8x24 LPVO highlights its daylight bright illumination, a key feature for target acquisition in bright conditions. While the optic offers good clarity and sharpness, particularly at higher magnifications, the reviewer notes some distortion and parallax shift at 1x power, which is common even in more expensive scopes. The capped turrets are tactile with no slop, and the magnification ring is smooth, making it a potentially good value optic under $500.
This review of the Vector Continental 1-8x24 LPVO highlights its performance as a budget-friendly option, particularly its daylight bright illumination and decent glass quality comparable to the Primary Arms Nova. While it offers an 8x magnification, edge clarity suffers at higher powers, and the reticle lacks horizontal wind holds. The scope features MRAD-based turrets and reticle, a 30mm tube, and a second focal plane design, making it a viable choice for those seeking an affordable LPVO with good daylight performance.
