I've gotten 20+ questions all to the effect of: Why no Razor 1-6x SFP HD. It's a good scope, trust me, I had one for 3 years. But on a recommend list, it's not really a stand out scope as it once was. It's stand out feature (bezeless amazing 1x) is handled by the PLX-C for 200-300 bucks more, while being a fully fledged out FFP design. If you need red dot bright, the PLX-C nova has that handled while also weighing 17oz not 23oz while being 1-8x. If you want to not spend 1500/don't like the PLX-C the delta Stryker 1-6x is almost the same scope as the razor, while costing 850, and weighing 6oz less. The 1-8x Vudu is also a very similar design for less money, with a 1-8x. I also think wire frame style reticles leave a lot to be desired in the LPVO category because they are very thick, obscure detail on small targets at range, which is why I prefer the Credo 1-6x SFP over all of these. I get why people like red dot bright, it's why I have a elcan. But with a LPVO, I personally don't care that much for red dot bright when it comes with the downsides that it does (shit battery, limited reticle).

​@@firstbeforelast433 the nova HAS TO BE SFP. Fiber bright free standing reticles cannot be FFP. The FFP rds bright scopes like the razor/atacr etc are all going to add about 500 bucks to the manufacturing cost. So the PLXC Nova FFP would just be atacr price at that point.

Hey nice video ! If I can ask based on your experience, I was ready to buy a new scope and I arrived to the conclusion that an lpvo or mpvo is the way to go for me. I have a ar, 20 inch barrel, 556 with M855 most of the time and a rec-10 at some occasions. The scope is for the AR and it is mostly for recon max 700m and except general shooting that happened to go above, I used for precise shots at max 300. But, I still need it for less than 50 meters (CQB). The recon is very important to me and I really to be able to see the difference of a guy holding a grenade, rock, Molotov, or just a soda. But the fact that I still need for close combat made my choice a bit hard even if I am ready to pay the price.

Your review of the PA 1-6 Nova convinced me to buy one and I've been delighted ever since, it's a perfect optic for me because 1x is red dot bright, 6x is alright and it feels lighter.

You now literally own the best sfp LPVO under $1k. The Delta Stryker 1-6x is like a vortex pst Gen 2 on steroids. Better glass, better 1x, better turrets, better everything honestly. If I didn't already own the PA PLxC ffp yards and wanted specifically a daylight bright LPVO I would possibly get the Stryker over the new plxc nova. Personally I'll never need that kind of LPVO since I still believe the steiner p4xi does that the best by a LONGSHOT. Anyways, great purchase!

I also just picked up the Razor Gen 2 because I’ve always wanted one. Currently 1k on Focus Camera. Even better glass than the already amazing Credo and that dot will burn your eyes out at high setting. Its only Achilles heel is the weight. I definitely can’t wait for the PLX-C SFP to come out.

Glass is suprisingly good for the price, illumination is good to red dot bright, and lots of reticle choices. The only downside is a bit of a tighter eyebox. I could be biased though since they're local to me haha. Great list nonetheless

I narrowed my choices down to the plxc and nx8 and preferred the nx8 feature set, so i got it and enjoyed it so much that I bought the atacr 1-8 to replace it. This is for a 308 rifle so I like the bigger eyebox and slightly better clearity. It's my first venture to scopes beyond $1000 and i can say that it makes a big difference when actually trying to spot things in the wilderness. $1500 is probably the sweet spot right now though.

@@dionysis84 I think the answers obvious.... The p4xi does such a damn good job from 1-4x that it eliminates the need for any kind of micro rds having to piggyback or offset. The 4x on the steiner is so clean that it can easily compete with any budget 6x and even some middle of the road 6x LPVO's. When I do any kind of competition I've always scored better with the p4xi when directly compared to my delta Stryker and pst..... But, I'm also one of the very few that think the PA plx compact is extremely overrated. Had suboptimal 1x and a mediocre at best 8x where I ended up using the 6x as high end instead of 8 which made the reticle harder to use. Ended up selling mine.

My pick for best value for money budget LPVO/MPVO of the poverty budget: Monstrum Banshee 2-10x30. I put it on my PTR-91 and it has survived 1,000 rounds of 308 so far (including half of that on a SCAR 17. It costs $150 and comes WITH a mount. I already understand that LPVOs aren't a true 1x, so I chose the 2-10x30 (with BDC-B1 reticle. The BDC reticle is perfect for my 20 inch AR and 308 from an 18 barrel so I bought 2) because it has a larger objective lense for that light and FOV advantage

​@@BrassFacts dude its 4-5 ounces heavier than all the other lpvos. if you picked up two different rifles blindfolded, one with a razor and one with a (insert lpvo) mounted, you would never be able to tell the difference. the razor reticles are perfectly suited to use on a carbine; aimpoint tier ilumination, thin subtensions, simple, and has a basic ranging feature. you don't need all sorts of windholds, huge ranging stadia, and a bunch of other crap on a rifle thats not going to be used from a tripod, in a hide. thats exactlythe kind of stuff that seems great on the range, but in the field it'll do nothing but block your field of view. most importantly it's a proven, reliable optic thats been shown to live through all sorts of abuse for almost a decade now.

(Last one to pump the algorithm) Hot take: if you are looking for an LPVO less than $1000 but more than $500, you are better served by a used ACOG TA01 and a cheap holosun piggyback. Way better glass, a real 1x and 90% of the time you aren’t using the magnifications between 1-max and you probably don’t even need that top end if you can’t justify the spend for something like PLXc. I said what I said.

The PLXC needs the better GLX reticle. If you're shooting on the run, the combination of outer posts and 120 moa circle gives a big advantage. The PLXc Horseshoe is a little too small to be used without illumination. The 1-10 GLX is very usable in CQB without illumination. For distance shooting, these are the absolute best reticles. If I'm putting a pound and a half on top of the gun, I want a lot of information.

I can get a new Slx Nova for $290 and a new Viper PST for $450. I cannot for the life of me decide if the viper is really worth the extra $150+ over the nova, especially with the pst not having a throw lever so needing an extra $50+ for a throw lever on top of that. Decisions...

@ultima8250
@ultima8250 7 ай бұрын
I plan to have an offset red dot anyway so I probably would just keep the LPVO at 6x at all times regardless. So I guess it's really just down to glass quality. I guess since I won't really use the 1x all that much and adding more weight with the offset dot definitely makes the lighter Nova more enticing.

@@ultima8250maybe I’m the drooling moron here, but why would you go with the nova if you’re running an offset dot and not planning to use the 1x at all? Why even get an lpvo over another medium range? The nova is a great value mainly because of the 1x and brightness of the reticle imo so you’re kind of just taking the worst parts about the nova and only utilizing that it would seem all for a little bit of weight savings? Edited: Why not just get a primary arms 5x prism since you’re wanting to keep the lpvo on 6x? This would also shave down a lot of weight and free up clutter on the rail. Delta34 made a new actually good top dot mount for it now to fix the main gripe I had with it.

You really gotta get your hands on a March 1.5-15 DFP, it is a kick ass scope. I've been using mine in all sorts of matches (proof on channel) and in my opinion it is the ultimate "Do All" rifle optic, given certain POU constraints(such as opting to only use 1 optic and not running an offset/piggyback dot). The Dual Focal Plane reticle really does give you the best of both FFP and SFP, at the cost of, well, cost.

I got the PLx-C in yards and it's good, although I'd probably get the meter version in the future. The picture sort of loses it on 7 - 8x though. I wish now that I'd spent the extra $500 and got a March compact since it has AO. That would be a gamechanger on an LPVO.

I've been using the Razor Gen 2e 1-6 for a few years, and thought the PLXC would be a good upgrade. I bought one and took it on one range trip and it got condesation internally and now I see a large dried waterspot when it's illuminated. The mount was torqued correctly so I'm not sure how it happened. It's covered by warranty, but its pretty discouraging and don't really trust it for durability now. Because of this my Razor Gen 2e 1-6 is still my favorite.
