This video details an abuse test on the Vector Optics Continental 1-8x24 LPVO. The test establishes a baseline zero with PMC X-TAC 5.56 55-grain ammunition at 50 yards, then subjects the optic to physical impacts from an armorer's hammer. Finally, it verifies if the optic maintained its zero after the abuse. The host demonstrates a practical, testing-oriented approach to evaluating optic durability.

Frequently Asked Questions

How was the Vector Optics Continental 1-8x24 LPVO tested for durability?

The optic was subjected to an abuse test. First, a baseline zero was established by firing five shots at 50 yards. Then, the optic's turrets and tube were repeatedly struck with an armorer's hammer. Finally, a second group was fired to check for zero retention.

What was the initial accuracy of the Vector Optics Continental 1-8x24 LPVO?

Before the abuse test, the Vector Optics Continental 1-8x24 LPVO was zeroed at 50 yards. The initial group fired using PMC X-TAC 5.56 55-grain ammunition measured approximately one inch, indicating solid baseline accuracy.

Did the Vector Optics Continental 1-8x24 LPVO maintain its zero after abuse?

Yes, the video demonstrates that the Vector Optics Continental 1-8x24 LPVO maintained its zero after being subjected to physical abuse, including repeated strikes with an armorer's hammer on the turrets and main tube.

What tools were used in the Vector Optics LPVO abuse test?

The test utilized an AR-15 style rifle, PMC X-TAC 5.56 55-grain ammunition for zeroing, and a yellow and black armorer's hammer to physically strike the optic's turrets and main tube.
