Mounting Scopes Like The Navy (Backwards 😎) *Does This Work?* #fullautofriday #civtac #firearms

This video tests the functionality of mounting an LPVO backwards on an AR-15 style rifle, a technique humorously dubbed 'Navy style'. While the rifle remains functional, accuracy is severely degraded due to reversed magnification. A baseline test with correct mounting shows significantly tighter groupings, highlighting the practical limitations of the backwards setup.

Quick Summary

Mounting an LPVO backwards reverses its magnification, making targets appear smaller as power increases. While the rifle remains functional, this setup severely degrades accuracy, leading to much larger shot groupings and making effective shooting impractical.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when you mount an LPVO backwards?

Mounting an LPVO backwards reverses its magnification. Increasing the power makes the target appear smaller, and decreasing the power makes it larger. This is because you are looking through the objective lens instead of the ocular lens.

Is mounting an LPVO backwards practical for shooting?

While the rifle remains functional, mounting an LPVO backwards severely degrades accuracy. The reversed magnification makes targets appear much smaller and harder to track, resulting in significantly larger shot groupings.

What is the 'Navy style' scope mounting mentioned?

The 'Navy style' is a humorous term used in the video for mounting an LPVO backwards, inspired by a viral photo. The video tests if this unconventional setup is functional, though it proves impractical for accurate shooting.

What rifle and optic were used in the backwards scope test?

The video used a Bear Creek 202 rifle chambered in .22 LR and a Monstrum Panzer LPVO. A baseline test was performed with the optic mounted correctly before testing the backwards configuration.
