Steiner 1-4 lpvo - Steiner P4Xi 1-4x24mm Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, Second Focal Plane (SFP)

I run this lpvo on a 12.5 inch 5.56 upper, i have come to really like lpvos and i heard alot of good things with this one, i decided to run the 1-4 on my 12.5 because i figured being a 12.5 im not ever going to shoot it past 300 yards but its still nice having the magnification, with all that being said i dont know if id ever buy another 1-4, im not bashing this optic by any means, the glass is super clear the quality is top notch and i really like the illuminated dot in the middle but looking back, in my opinion running a lpvo is nice when its a 1-6 or a 1-8, at 4 power you're better off running a red dot with a magnifier, so do i recommend this optic? Yes if your specifically wanting a 1-4 lpvo and no if you just want an lpvo, get the benefits of a higher power lpvo but thats just my opinion
