Quoted: @USA1st is this the one - they are both still there. I bought one of each. https://www.eurooptic.com/Bushnell-SMRS-1-65x24-ILL-CQ-BDC-Riflescope-ET71624.aspx View Quote Thank you very much. I thought they were gone when didn’t see them on the sale list anymore. I just ordered it. Thanks @borat |

No picture because it isn't mounted on anything but I just picked up a Leupold 2.5x20 on here as my first magnified optic. My crummy eyes need all the help they can get! I guess it would be considered a LPFO.
Anyone using a non illuminated LPVO? |

Quoted: Thank you very much. I thought they were gone when didn’t see them on the sale list anymore. I just ordered it. Thanks @borat View Quote @USA1st I'm a newbie to scopes. What I'm seeing is that you can use the LPVO at 1x for up close but it's not fast. I have not mounted the Bushnells or my Primary 1-6 SLX FFPs to rifles yet but their eyeboxes are tight. The PA is not as tight as the Burris. What I am looking fwd to are: Primary Arms 2x prism Ordered 6 of those! |

Quoted: the buis thread had me thinking of optics.. and I love me some LPVOs Anyone mind sharing some pics? What's your favorites? Leupold 1-8 Vortex 1-10 Bushnell smrs ii pro i just bought for my father, very impressed with it View Quote @Mop89 I'm new to optics and am glad that you were impressed with the Bushies. WHen I look at them there seems to be a very tight eyebox, very little latitude side to side and back/front to get a good sight pic. Your thoughts? Shit, can't beat the price. I wonder how they can sell the scope that cheap. $600 and everywhere else it's $1100 I think. Is there an LPVO that you could really use effectively at 1X, kinda like a red dot? |

If I didn’t know you actually operate I’d crown you King of the Gear Queers. Don’t mind me, just being a jealous poor over here Being serious, what’s the pros/cons of the light on the bottom rifle vs a pressure switch setup? |

Quoted: Interesting analogy - please elaborate. I’m currently running a PA ACSS Raptor 1-6 on one of my rifles and I’ve found it to be fantastic for the money. My only complaints are it’s not particularly bright on 1X as a reflex sight (though closing the front cap helps), and, in that same function, you neee to be conscious of scope alignment so you don’t lose the reticle. Perhaps those 2 are some of your same observations. View Quote Brightness is one, but glass clarity is the biggest knock. When it came out it was unbeatable in it's price range. That was quite awhile ago though, and glass quality in that market has evolved a lot while the 1-6 ACSS has not. But the Raptor is known for having a slight clarity increase over the normal ACSS. A daylight bright reticle, crisp glass, and an ocular housing that disappears makes a crazy difference in speed and user friendliness for me. The 1-6 ACSS unfortunately doesn't have any of those. |

I can’t post a pic but I went with the SWFA 1-4x with lighted center point. I have never seen anyone else mention SWFA, I think it’s pretty solid.

I'm still shopping around
Priorities are: -daylight bright on 1x -some form of BDC reticle I like the ACSS reticle in the PA options, but the daylight brightness isn't there I like the nuclear bright red dot in the Vortex PST/Razor, but don't really care for the basic crosshair reticle |

Dark Lord of optics just did a youtube review of one from Delta. He scored it well. I don't know if it was him or another that hated the Primary Arms LPVO, and loved the 1-10 gen3 vortex.

View Quote I've heard from multiple sources that LOW in Japan makes a lot of SWFA's in-house stuff, and LOW makes the Bushnells that are being discussed in this thread. I don't have an SWFA LPVO, but I do have one of their 10x42 scopes and the glass quality is fantastic, definitely worth more than you're paying. |

Two pre-E razor 1-6.

I need one.
My 3-gun days are probably behind me, so I'm wanting to turn my Open rifle into more of a "do-all" social gun. I've already replaced the honking muzzle brake and taken off the offset red dot for use on something else. Right now it's wearing a 2-8 Nikon non-illuminated scope (that will get switched to a bolt gun), I need a good daytime-bright 1-6X, but fuck I'm broke right now. |

The manual recommends it be removed if the scope is going to be stored for long periods, I assume to prevent damage if the battery leaks. Just a thought if you haven't already pulled it. |

Anyone have both a Razor 1-6 and the Gen II PST 1-6? I'm curious how the eye box compares. It's much tighter on the PST than I prefer and have been more thinking about upgrading...but only if there's a significant difference.
