What mount height are you using? To achieve speed, a solid and completely repeatable cheekweld is critical. Tall mounts are also the current hotness, but you won't see me using one. I've been running low mounted variables on hunting bolt actions for decades, so keeping the same cheekweld as they have is a huge benefit to me. If a person can throw their lightweight hunting rifle to their shoulder and get a perfect image basically every time (even with 3 to 4.5 times magnification at the low end), then there's no reason to not be able to do the same with an LPVO.
