I am really struggling with LPVOs

They don't really offer much in REAL long range. Shoot! There's times were we get on the 15X Nightforce and it seems low magnification compared to the 24X big brothers.



No. LPVOs are very niche to me. And the bulk and weight you mentioned isn't worth the limited range.

You can do just fine with a 3-9x out to 1,000 yards. I had no trouble hitting at 9x with a Savage 10FP. Group size when the Wyoming wind died down was 10-12” with Federal Gold Medal Match 168 grain. 8x shouldn’t be that much different. Maybe you will find it’s best from 600-800 yards.
