This video compares the ZCO 2-10 and Nightforce ATACR 1-8 LPVOs, highlighting key differences in illumination brightness, eyebox size, and turret design. The Nightforce ATACR 1-8 offers superior illumination brightness, described as 'daylight bright' with a blooming effect at maximum settings. The ZCO 2-10 features an adjustable parallax from 5 yards to infinity and a larger, more open eyebox compared to the Nightforce's forgiving but slightly tunneled eyebox. Both are considered professional-grade optics.

This video delves into the practical considerations for effectively using Low Power Variable Optics (LPVOs). It emphasizes that LPVOs are versatile tools requiring shooter skill to overcome their inherent drawbacks, particularly at close range. Key factors discussed include reticle design, diopter adjustment for eye focus, tube and ocular lens size for target acquisition, eyebox management through proper firearm setup, and turret functionality for dialing. The content highlights the importance of understanding both close and long-range shooting disciplines to maximize an LPVO's potential, stressing that the optic itself doesn't grant skill but enables its application.

This YouTube video focuses on a comparison between Minute of Angle (MOA) and Mil-radians (MIL) for long-range shooting. The title, "MOA Sucks! MOA vs. MIL #longrangeshooting," clearly indicates a critical examination and comparison of these two popular measurement systems used in precision shooting. The video aims to educate viewers on the differences and potential drawbacks of MOA, suggesting it may be inferior for certain long-range applications compared to MIL.

This guide, presented by firearms instructor Elliott Delp, explains the fundamental differences between MIL and MOA turret adjustment systems on rifle optics. It covers how to identify each system, the typical increment values (0.1 MRAD for MIL, 1/4 MOA for MOA), and the importance of tactile and audible feedback for precise adjustments. Understanding these concepts is crucial for accurate zeroing and field adjustments.

Ryan Cleckner of Gun University provides expert advice on selecting the right rifle scope. He emphasizes prioritizing budget and essential features over simply buying the most expensive option. Cleckner advises spending more on the scope than the rifle and highlights the importance of training and practice.
