LPVO Scopes from Vortex, Primary Arms, SIG SAUER & Other Top Brands 134 products / 419 models

An LPVO scope is often used with tactical rifles and AR platforms because it's a cross between a red dot sight and a traditional rifle scope. These AR15 scopes have a magnification range starting at no magnification, or 1x, and increases from there. In some LPVO designs, magnification can get as high as 1-6x, 1-8x, 1-10x or higher with ranges out to 800 yards and more. Hence the name "Low Power Variable Optic" — magnification on an LPVO scope varies from low power to the highest setting. Like a red dot, an LPVO optic can be used for close quarters shooting, but that's about where the similarities end. A red dot is primarily used for close quarters whereas an LPVO has more of a dual-purpose role because of its long-range capabilities. That's why the LPVO is more often than not used for tactical purposes and 3-gun events. It allows the shooter to quickly switch from CQB to long-range targets.image
