Looking for LPVO recommendations

**bowman57_2** · 09-17-18, 14:43

I’m looking for a quality LPVO that I can switch between an AR and a .22 rifle. It would mostly live on the .22 for squirrel hunting but I would also like to be able to throw it on my AR to hunt coyotes when needed. I would like something with a clean sight picture, I don’t like a lot of stadial lines and stuff cluttering the sight picture. So what would you recommend?

What’s your budget?

Not really concerned with price, I’d rather spend the money on somethin nice now than something cheap just to regret it and end up buying the nice one later.

For plinking, there is nothing wrong with the Primary Arms 1-6X. Spend a little more and you can get into the Steiner P4Xi, which is a solid optic. Those would be my two recommendations if you plan on swapping between your AR and .22.

I’ve had the P4Xi for over a year, it is a great optic for the money. If maxing out at 4x isn’t a concern, I’m not aware of an LPVO in its price range than can match it.

I really like the sight picture on the Steiner but I’m not sure if I wanna limit myself to 4X magnification since I’ll be using this for coyote hunting. Does the Razor HD Gen 2 have a cluttered aight picture or is it pretty clean like the Steiner?

The Razor HD Gen 2 is great, not cluttered but you would probably want to go with one on the VMR reticles if you’re going to be using it with a .22 more than a 5.56. The JM1 is great for 5.56 and the -E model feels a lot lighter than the original.

I think the JM-1 has the least clutter. If you’re willing to spend that money, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone disappointed by a Razor.

Swapping scopes between 2 rifles never works out. It's not like you can swap them without re zeroing. My favorite squirrel scope is the Vortex Diamondback 2X7 Rimfire. I know nothing about dog hunting in Indiana but if you are shooting a 2 MOA rifle with 2 MOA ammunition outside of 200 yards you may as well get a generic 3X9 and hope you draw blood. No such thing as a free lunch.
