What type of reticle would you suggest?I've owned many LPVOs in search of my favorite and also read and watched hundreds of hours of reviews. The best sub-$500 LPVO is the Burris RT-6. It's my optic of choice in the budget LPVO arena and use mine regularly. For around $600 I recommend the Vortex Viper PSTII, or for a little more the Steiner P4Xi which uses excellent Schott glass. For around $1000 things get complicated. Tons of new and used options, all seem good. The Trijicon Accupoint is great and has a brighter reticle than their battery powered options. For a little more I'd say the Vortex Razor 1-6 gen2 is worth the extra coin over the competition in the $1000 bracket, but for around $1000 I'd buy the Accupoint. For over $1000 I prefer my Elcan, the Nightforce NX8 with its tight eyebox but excellent reticle and small footprint, or the Vortex Razor 1-10. I'm not familiar with LPVOs over the $2k range as I can't justify those at this point, but I'm sure the competition is tight in that area as well.
Reticle will depend on two things. What your doing and preference.What type of reticle would you suggest?
Also with the Accupoint once you're in low light don't you lose the brightness? Doesn't it work like the ACOG in regards to gathering light?
I'd say wait longer, save more and don't get a POS glass.Get what you can afford.
Well, again, it depends on what your doing. Just plinking, hell, get a Monstrum or what ever is cheap if you don't care. Hunting, $300 minimum IMO but $500-800 would be better. Competing, buy the best glass you can find, use credit it if must. It's easy to get a $3k credit card at Sportsman Warehouse. The type of rifle makes a difference also.I'd say wait longer, save more and don't get a POS glass.
If you keep both eyes open, you shouldn't run into any problems. You just don't have the the "V" variable.I was just going through this decision process for a Tavor 7 I am expecting to show up this week. I was looking at LPVOs, but ended up on a 3.5x ACOG. Most expensive glass I have ever bought. Hope I don't miss the "LP" part of the LPVO too much or it will be an expensive mistake.
So just run it like a red dot even though it is magnified?If you keep both eyes open, you shouldn't run into any problems.
Exactly. Your brain will do all the difficult work.So just run it like a red dot even though it is magnified?
My TA01 was expensive (for me) but I'll tell you what; looking through one for the first time was an "...oh. I get it..." moment, to be sure. Very happy with mine.I was just going through this decision process for a Tavor 7 I am expecting to show up this week. I was looking at LPVOs, but ended up on a 3.5x ACOG.

I went with the TA110 for the extra eye relief. Really excited to try it out. Midway had some of the .308 version on closeout with a great price.My TA01 was expensive (for me) but I'll tell you what; looking through one for the first time was an "...oh.
