I'm still rocking a Burris 1-4x. I can't afford to keep up.

My rifle with the 1-6 Delta Stryker is quickly becoming my general purpose rifle. I wish I would have bought another one when they were $650.

Seem pretty popular to me. Just not with the checklist you have.
Trijicon is the first thing that comes to mind |

I've been pretty disappointed with the 1-8 and 1-10 offerings to be honest. The eyebox is tight and there's usually a lot of other compromises made to get that magnification range. I find 1-6x is the sweet spot for me in terms of magnification to distance (for a 5.56 rifle anyways) and for eye box and picture clarity.

Seriously considering the 1-6x Sig Tango-MSR LPVO for $279
I dont really need anything more for an AR in my area. Price difference goes up after that quite a bit, but i think it is a pretty decent optic for $300. Any experience with this particular LPVO? |

Internet is so full of opinions on this matter. So many solid choices nowadays. Don't get wrapped up into thinking this or that is "The best". If that was the case there'd only be Vortex razors, ATACR's and Khales out there. People get so hung up on the tiny nuances, when the reality is there's plenty on the market to choose from, and the high end shit comes with diminishing returns.
Budget - Credo 1-6 or Vudu Mid grade - VCOG 1-6 or ATACR High end - S&B short dot or March shorty Just my opinion, nothing more. I suggest you buy, try, sell, buy, try, keep. |

Not FFP, and not tactical, but this is one of the most durable, best eyebox and lightest weight scopes I have ever owned.
At 14.7 ounces to me it’s a great scope for any gun your going to carry for a long period of time. https://www.leupold.com/vx-5hd-1-5x24-cds-zl2-illum-firedot-duplex-riflescope-2 |

It’s pretty rare for me to use a variable.
Fixed and a red dot are generally what I run. I DO like the 1-8 razor. Eye box not as bad as everyone makes them out to be. Good glass.  Attached File |

I still have a pair of Vortex 1-6 Strike-Eagle BDC optics on a couple of rifles and I love 'em. The BDC reticle is really accurate with my loads and 6x is plenty of magnification for a .223. I have the Strike-Eagle 1-8x on my AR10 and the BDC on that is dead on out to 600. If you catch the 1-8 on sale with the free cantilever, IMO it's one of the better deals on the market.

FFP is dumb in a LPVO. Just my opinion. You give up low mag performance too much.
That said. SAI 1-6 seems to be doing good. |

Trijicon credo. It's a good scope, but the FFP is not daylight bright. I got mine for ~ $900 from euro optic right after they came out.

There aren't many daylight bright FFP scopes. It's a small list.
Plus, as others mentioned, 1-6 works better in SFP since when you need magnification and your holds, 6X isn't too much magnification. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: FFP is dumb in a LPVO. Just my opinion. You give up low mag performance too much. That said. SAI 1-6 seems to be doing good. The mentality is at low end, you're using it more like a red dot. The finer details of the reticle being readable isn't a concern. The flipside is that any holdovers remain the same no matter the magnification level. Of course, most just use them at minimum or max power, rarely anything in between. |

I agree with SFP being best for a 1-6.
With that in mind, Vortex razor gen II-E was king for a long time. It’s still a great choice but is on the heavier side. I’m looking at a Khales K16i currently. |

I’m down to one LPVO. They’re just not as fast or fun to shoot for me compared to a prism with an offset. I don’t shoot 5.56 past 400 yards so they’re mostly dead weight. That is for me though and I certainly don’t judge anyone who prefers a LPVO.
