This video details a practical abuse test for the Vector Optics Continental 1-8x24 LPVO, conducted by the RTT : Guns & Gear host. The test involves establishing a baseline zero with 5.56 NATO ammunition at 50 yards, followed by direct physical impacts to the optic using an armorer's hammer. The optic's ability to retain zero after this rigorous testing is then verified. The host demonstrates a structured approach to evaluating optic durability under stress.

Quick Summary

The Vector Optics Continental 1-8x24 LPVO underwent a rigorous abuse test, starting with a 5.56 NATO baseline zero at 50 yards. It was then subjected to repeated impacts on its turrets and tube using an armorer's hammer. Post-test verification confirmed the optic successfully retained its zero, demonstrating notable durability.
