Fundamentals of LPVOs: Cheap vs Expensive

All the best firearms history channels streaming to all major devices:
weaponsandwar.tv
At SHOT Show this year I took some time to speak with Mike Branson of Gideon Optics (formerly of Primary Arms and Swampfox). Mike's a friend and a true optics nerd, and I figured he could help give folks an understanding of some of the fundamentals of modern firearms optics. Today, we are talking about Low-Power Variable Optics - LPVOs. In particular, what are the differences between cheap and expensive ones? What can you improve by spending more money, and what is basically limited by physics?

And his honesty about what it *can’t* do and why. I like that he got into the weeds of application vs cost without getting into the deeper weeds, even counting the insert of the basic math of the physics of magnification. That was relatively painless for those of us who don’t math. That’s the kind of thing that makes us think about “do I really need to spend that extra grand *to do what I want or need to do” which a lot of people don’t really consider.

Related reason to go with an LPVO: hunting in bear country. I spent much of my life on Kodiak (1 brown bear per square mile) and was an avid blacktail deer hunter. When hunting we saw bears nearly every day, and just learned to avoid them. I used a typical 3x9 scope until the day everything went wrong. Browns and grizzlies are ambush predators. When they decide to attack (which is rare), they sneak in very close and rush you from downwind (they don't know we can't smell them) at 25 mph. That happened to me one day and when I swung my rifle the bear was within 10 or 15 yards and I was blind. I had less than one second to sort that out and failed. I didn't even pull the trigger before it bowled me over and really messed me up. My partner ran up and also blinded by a high power variable point-shot a .300 Mag round into the animal's torso, it then turned and ran at him and he got another blind shot into it from the front, which finally turned the animal. I was a mess, lucky to survive and nearly bled out before a CG helo airlifted me to town. It was two years before I was healed up enough to hunt again, and when I finally got back out in the bush I was sporting a simple Burris 1x4 optic. I kept my rifle on 1X while hunting, and if I needed magnification dialed it up, took the shot and went back to 1X. I'm convinced that if I'd had a 1X optic I'd have gotten off that one critical shot that might have turned the bear, or even tumbled him before he reached me. That was 25 years ago and 1X4 (and maybe 1X6?) was all that was available. It's nice to see the advances in LPVO scopes. If you hunt in brown or grizzly country, this is the style of scope you want.

[@hallovelo2478]

This is true for many peole. If they don't know what they pay for and how to check a glass about it's quality. It does not make a difference if it is a microscope, a camera objectiv a rifle scope or whatever. If the lense quality is not good your eye will get fatigue much more early than with a very high quality glass. For example, the lens of the much loved Razor gen 3 is not ground round. Check it against a wall or object with a lot of lines or against text and start to move it. You wil recognize the lense is full of "flat spotes". Does this mean we have to buy a 2500+$ scope? Definitly not, but there are huge differences that will/can have a big impact on your ability to shoot over a long and sometimes also over a shorter time at the range. Check your budget, check the scopes in your budget class, check one class below and one above to see if you are happy with what you want/can invest. Better than figure out a bit later that it just would have needed a little bit more money to be way more happy. Better safe on the rifle than on the scope. The rifle is way less important than the scope. And everything is less important than know how to build a shooting position and pull the trigger. If you want to learn this, buy a 22lr and learn to shoot 22 prone rifle. If you are able to shoot consistent 96+, you know the fundamentals about shooting a rifle. The best thing about it, it's super cheap!

It's always refreshing to have a guest speaker approaching forgotten weapons with the correct attitude: a frank discussion of the technical capabilities and limitations of the gadget that happens to be on the table. Too often the SHOT show people have a pitch that they've rehearsed. Nothing wrong with a rehearsed pitch, of course (rehearsing is good!) but it doesn't sound like this guy is pitching me anything, and that's the best pitch you'll ever hear in your life.

[@sparkywilson1405]

accurizing your firearm is a rabbit hole. diminishing returns apply like anything else. and it's all kind of moot if your gun can outshoot you. at some price point, food stops tasting better and they're just slapping gold leaf and caviar on everything because some people want whatever has the highest price tag just to flex.

[@roflchopter11]

Meh, if a shooter can shoot a laser beam (0/MOA rifle) at 4 MOA, their groups wirh a 4MOA rifle will be something like 8 MOA (slightly less, but then you have to actually measure and do the math on the random distributions). They're still better served by the 0 MOA rifle. It isn't until the shooter is several times less accurate than the rifle that the returns really drop off.

[@jagerdergroe8604]

​@@roflchopter11 you're exactly the guy the comment described.

[@leewilkinson6372]

Well sort of. If you have a 2 moa rifle, with a person willing to put in the work to learn to shoot it at 2 moa..... You're getting a better result for less money, generally speaking.

[@jarink1]

I love the mention that training is more important than Gucci equipment. I would push back ever-so-slightly for brand new shooters, though. They need to make sure that cheap gun /mount/optic isn't total trash, broken, or shot out. Otherwise they could get frustrated and quit training or stop shooting altogether. 22LR is great for training and there are lots of affordable but great pistols and rifles that will do a great job of building skills and confidence without breaking the bank.

[@theKashConnoisseur]

Brand new shooters will get tons of benefit from dry fire training, which they can do successfully even with cheap guns, mounts, and optics that aren't zeroed. Even the bargain bin guns are functional these days, and you probably won't find my brand new firearms that are shot out from factory, so mount and optic quality are the main barriers to repeatable accuracy, not taking skill into account.
