For the LPVO’s in the under 1000 range, what would you recommend for a setup that’s meant to be a duty-grade/fighting rifle build? Intended usage would be defense/SHTF, where reliability is paramount? After doing some preliminary research, I do have some models in mind, but wanted another take, and maybe see if there were any advances in optics that would give new options. Thanks in advance.
Mount included? If not, you can find used razors for about $950. That’s about as duty grade as you can get.

A used Razor might be an option. Are there any offerings I’d be able to get new for under a grand?Quote:

Honestly LPVO's are not the most durable optics on the planet. No where near an aim point. However a lot of them are durable enough. I recently did a TON of research on LPVO's before buying my Steiner P4xi. I have a Primary arms 1-8, as well. I shoot a match monthly and prefer the reticle from the Steiner, but the eye box and build quality are a little higher on the foreign made primary arms. The Vortex optic is much more durable and has the best eye box compared to the steiner, and Vortex has the best customer service. But that might not matter in the end of the world?
To answer you question of a top list:
Steiner P4xi and T5i
Vortex PST or maybe a used Razor gen 2
Sig Tango 4 or tango 6.
Primary Arms is always competitive at whatever price point they are in
Go here in this forum section & read the reviews on the Steiner Pxi 1x4, well within budget it ought to do.
The only 2 I would recommend in that budget is a used NF NXS 1-4 or a used Vortex Razor 1-6.
How about a Trijicon 1-4 Accupoint (not Accupower)?

1-4 Accupoint is one of my favorite optics. I have two. I like the 1-6 Accupoint as well. The 1-8 accupower can be found for under $1000 if you get one get red illumination, they’re daylight bright. Check out opticsplanet/Dvor for good pricing. If you get an Accupoint get a triangle or for either 1-4 or 1-6. The mil dot is also nice. The mil dots are bolder than the moa dots. The steiner 1-4 is a good little optic too. The 1.5-4 Leupold Mark AR is good glass and reticle.
My Steiner P4Xi is on my favorite AR and I love it, but Like the Accupower I don’t consider them duty grade. Desperate times I’ll switch to the 1-4 Accupoint. For about $900 you can get a new one and a Bobro QD mount.
Another vote for a used Razor. There are lots of guys trying to unload them right now to fund the new 1-10; great deals to be had.
