The problem with LPVOs nobody is talking about
This video investigates a subtle but significant issue in Low Power Variable Optics (LPVOs) at 1x magnification: image shift. The presenter, Moondog, demonstrates how the internal optical alignment of some LPVOs can cause the image to appear misaligned with the external world, requiring the scope to be rotated for proper sight picture. Expert analysis suggests this is related to the relationship between the reticle's optical center and the turret adjustments, affecting even high-end models. The investigation highlights the importance of understanding optic centering beyond mechanical zero.
