Elliott Delp, an experienced firearms instructor, details the practical field of view (FOV) of an LPVO at different magnifications. He explains how FOV correlates with objective lens size and magnification, demonstrating a significant reduction from 109 feet at 1x to 18 feet at 6x, both measured at 100 yards. The discussion also highlights the importance of adequate eye relief for comfortable and effective shooting.
This expert-level review of the EOTech Vudu 1-6x24 FFP LPVO by 9-Hole Reviews highlights significant drawbacks. The optic's reticle design is deemed suboptimal for an LPVO, particularly at distance, and its field of view and eyebox are considered tight compared to competitors. Illumination performance is also a major point of criticism, with the reticle lacking daylight brightness. While the included throw lever is functional, the overall package is considered a poor value proposition in its price range.
This expert-level comparison, led by an experienced firearms instructor, details the performance differences between the Vortex PST 1-6x24 and the Vortex Razor 1-6x24 Gen 2E LPVOs. Key distinctions lie in external dimensions, weight, illumination control, zoom dial smoothness, and crucially, glass performance including field of view, bezel thickness, eye relief forgiveness, and color fringing. The Razor generally offers superior optical quality and user experience, particularly for dynamic shooting scenarios, though at a higher price point.
This ACOG showdown compares the Trijicon TA31 (4x), TA11 (3.5x), and TA33 (3x). The TA31 offers the best FOV but suffers from short eye relief. The TA11 is the most practical all-around choice with better eye relief, while the TA33 is a lightweight, niche option with a narrow FOV.
This expert overview of the Trijicon MRO HD red dot sight, presented by Caleb from Brownells, highlights its 'High Definition' improvements over the standard MRO. Key features include enhanced reticle clarity, optimized performance with magnifiers, 16 brightness settings (including NV), and tool-less flush adjustments. The sight boasts a rugged build and a superior field of view for effective both-eyes-open shooting.
This video provides a review of the Noisefighters Panobridge, a device designed to create a binocular setup for PVS14 night vision devices.

Links to a more detailed article on the Guns & Tactics website are provided for further information.
This video challenges the common firearm adage that 'more magnification is always better' for optics. Brownells Gun Techs Caleb Savant and Steve Ostrem argue that optic choice should be tailored to the specific firearm's capabilities and the intended shooting application. They explain that excessively high magnification can hinder target acquisition, especially on short-range firearms or for fast-moving targets. The presenters emphasize the importance of a low power scope with a wide field of view for certain hunting scenarios, citing Caleb's successful deer hunt with a 6x scope at 210 yards as a real-world example. The myth is definitively debunked by matching optic needs to practical firearm use.
