    An ACOG years ago was my first ‘real’ optic. At that time it was a great choice.

    Fast forward over a decade and I never use it. It sits on a clone gun.

    Why? LPVO, my night force 1-4 NXS is damn close to gaveling am aimpoint and acog all in one sight.

    It blows my mind in 2018 an ACOG is even a consideration for people. I have had my nightforce for a long time now, probably since 2012. Never failed me in the least. Superb optic, and now antiquated.

    Much like I’d never buy another 4x ACOG isn’t never buy another 1-4 variable. Why? Because of 1-6 and 1-8 optics

    Sorry for the necropost, but I was searching people's opinions on LPR glass. I have to agree, the ACOG has it's upsides, but IMHO, slapping it on something like the LPR is like putting wooden wheels on a Ferrari. Each piece of that equation is holding the other back. For my LPR, I'm going to try between the 1x6 and a 2x10 bushnell and see which it prefers. Hopefully get a chance to post some results soon.

    I don't have a lightweight, precision 5.56 gun but if I did I'd have a hard time picking between a USO B-10 (mil-scale GAP. Wish the old 1.8-10x44 ERGO was still available) and Nightforce 2.5-10x42.

    Weight(lack of) makes the acog attractive as well.

    Edit- need to look at dates next time. And the rest of the posts.

    It all comes down to what you want.

    I ended up with a nightforce competition scope on my LPR. I shoot about 0.5-0.8 MoA with Sierra match king ammo from 100 yards consistently. Very happy with the results.

    I think limiting my LPR to a 1-6 would be like throwing on wooden wheels to use your verbiage. I'm currently using a 4-16 as I enjoying seeing and identifying as well as shooting. Each person will obviously have their own needs.

    I found the Nightforce 2.5-10x24 (or x32) to fit the LPR quite well. I have a 3.5-15x50mm that I could swap out with it, but I found that I preferred the lower 2.5-10x magnification overall from 0-200yds, and it remained quite usable out to 400yds.

    Maybe if I was running it as a dedicated DMR consistently at 300yds+, I'd prefer the higher magnification. But, for most practical ranges, the 10x was more than adequate and had a better field of view.

    The smaller scope profile also fit my idea of the LPR better (light weight, low recoil, high accuracy).

    Just my .02.

    That USO is on my shortlist. If it wasn't for the price tag I'd have one already.

    I've got a Mark IV 4x-16x that I usually use when I wring out a new setup. While I think I'll be happy with a top end of 10x, if it I like how it handles it's certainly not off the table for arbitrary limitations.

    LPVs are great but I wouldn't say they are the end all be all.

    Red dots and ACOGs still have a place.
