Bro this video is literally the perfect scope review. Everyone should be making videos like these and how do you not have a ton more followers? Thanks for the info! Subbed
Love mine it's a great scope, and with my 50 year old eyes, that little magnification at 10 to 15 yards or even closer, actually works to my advantage. Kind of like wearing cheaters
Putting this on my new slug gun for woods hunting. Yeah I really wanted one with a Fire dot but I couldn't justify $500 more for the illumination. I think the pig plex will work just fine. Thanks for the good review.
I found your channel about a week ago and just wanted to say thank you for the amazing videos and consistent reviewing style! Not being able to afford multiple optics to compare myself this is the next best thing as you give such an amazing feel of how an optic behaves which is hard to do.
This was by far the best review video for this scope!!! Couldn't find anything with so much footage and info!!! Now I'm able to make my purchase. THANK YOU!!! PEW...PEW!!
I love your filming style; I just subscribed! I have the AR-reticle version of this optic on a Remington 7600 .270 pump that I bought as a mountain/ranch rifle for when I want some more reach than 5.56. It seems to be a good fit so far.
Great video. Thank you. I liked the target acquisitions you were making in the parking garage, - but I really liked when you showed the view in the woods. I was going to order this tonight (mainly due to the super lightweight), but after seeing your video, that reticle is just too hard to see in contrasting light. (which is where I would be using it) - I may still get one to try it down the road, but I think these old-man eyes will need a lighted reticle as a primary.
I have this scope but haven’t had a chance to get out to the range to use. I have a scout rifle that I had a red dot on and want to shoot longer distances. So I can’t wait to use this and put it to the paces
I think I said this on another video but eye box test = thumbs up. Budget optics from other manufacturers have a very unforgiving eyebox. Fine for range, not hunting.
I've been seeking a replacement for the Weaver V3 (1-3x)...can't seem to find anymore of those on the used market. This looks pretty close. Thanks for the review...and the reticle tracking test. Anyone who's practice Bindon Aimin Concept on something like a 4x ACOG, should have not problem with the 1.5x in CQB...but I don't know for sure until I give one a try.
Just got a Browning BLR and this scope seems just about perfect. A fixed power 4x scope would be fine for hunting where I live - a shot over 300 yards is highly unlikely. But for the price and weight this 1.5-4x seems just about perfect. BTW I have a Leupold FXII Scout scope - fixed 2.5x - and have no trouble shooting with both eyes open. I wouldn’t use it at close quarters, but 25 yards and out is fine.
i have 2 of these, and dont see what ur camers see's, they work great for 100 to 200 yards, the camera doesent do justice per the eye, good review great scope, even in low light.
I'm considering getting this for an inline muzzleloader. Most of the shots taken will be anywhere from 20 yards out to 100 yards. I'm not sure why Leupold didn't just make this a 1-4 scope; seems maybe a ploy to try and sell their higher end scopes, which start with a 1x magnification.
Debating throwing one of these on my slug gun for deer season. The 3-9 muzzleloader scope is just way more magnification than I need for how I hunt & the range I normally shoot at
If you can't use 1.5x inside of 25 yards something is wrong. I've used 4x at 60 feet for squirrels high up in a tree and in 2 seconds from seeing it to shot. 1.5x is way easier and people are much larger than a squirrel. 1.0x is a non issue, maybe not having a Red dot could be to some.
An optic review from someone that knows what they are talking about and knows how to use his camera to film through a scope? Impossible! Nice change from the LARP’er cringe lords in their XL tactical gear.
I just bought a LIGHTER 1-4x. The Leupold VX HOG 1-4x pig plex NEW IN A SEALED BOX for $250 on Ebay. have seen these go for $400 used. Discontented, but better glass than the newer models. Mine 8.1 ounces. Yours 9.6 ounces. My lightweight high offset rings weigh 1.3oz per ring. Mine is not true 1 power, but I CAN use it with both eyes open. So...less than 1.5x . Maybe 1.25x
i have the PA 3x Mp and i love it, but i keep wondering if an lpvo like this one would be better, but, after looking at teh close up of the concrete building in the forest, I dont think this is going to be any better than the fixed 3x. Ideally this scope would be a 1-4, with little fisheye, and it would be soo much more appealing, even without illum. but the only draw back to the PA 3x MP is the lack of 1x, and this doesn't solve that problem.
Спасибо автору за видео - ваш метод съемки объективно показывает возможности прицелов! Отличная работа! И это помогает нам определиться с выбор прицела для винтовки.
As a Leupold user for decades I’ve seen no “sporting” scope models tougher. With heavy recoil the base screws are at more risk. Possible shearing. Leupold makes these and even the VX-3s with the big 50mm objectives light in weight. Which greatly keeps the torque on the scope(and bases) when firing to a minimum. These models are made to survive and thrive mounted on 375 H&Hs, 458 Lotts and the like. I would not worry about durability issues on a 7-7.5lb 45-70
I have two of these and i like them but the reticle isnt very clean. The lines are kinda blobby, dirty. I have the older vx-1 pig plex ats really clean
C, I need some advice.. What’s best 1-4 or 1-6 w open eye box and light scope shadow under $500? Can’t afford the TR24 or Steiner p4xi. Thanks so much!
thanks for information! one question, if you don't mind - did you test it on a low temperature? in search of real low-weight optics i tried to use a vx-r 1,25-4, but sold it after the understanding a fact of an unstable POI on a temperature lower than -10C. sad but truth.
It would be fun to test this. To do it properly I would need a freezer where I do my tracking test. I think I may give that a shot sometime. As for this optic and the cold, I cant say much. But being as simple as it is. I would imagine the only thing to worry about is the magnification control.
Have you gotten your hands on a Leupold VX-5HD? I’m looking at that one and the NF SHV. Both are comparable in price, Just don’t have any experience with either company.
The moa ring is what I would go for. I have a mk3hd illuminated in for review. Its really nice. But if you don't need lume id say just get one of these and save the $200
@@mtnbound2764 the 3x is really nice. I got one for review as well. Its all about what your looking for out of your setup. There are no wrong choices. Just ones that might not align to your needs.
When they very first came out they were underpriced. Then the realized they made a good scope and upped the price on them. They can be found on sale sometimes. Keep a look out
A general rule is an objective diameter roughly 4x in millimeters vs it’s highest magnification setting for transmitting all the light the human pupil can effectively use. Assuming good glass anyway. Which Leupold is famous for installing
Leupold VX-Freedom1.5-4x20 (MOA ring reticle) vs. Swampfox Arrowhead 1-6x on a Henry 45-70? Asking both C_DOES and anyone else who cares to share their experience/opinion. Mainly for deer hunting (straight wall jurisdiction) but also potentially as bear defense (I LARP about being in bear country, hopefully will visit some day, and I hope to never shoot a bear). I already have the Arrowhead and I think that LPVO with a 1x makes a lot of sense even for whitetails in eastern woods. And for a Marlin-pattern 45-70 a compact, lower-mounted scope makes a lot of sense. Leupold even calls a version of this scope their "dangerous game scope", so people are definitely onto this. I've looked through the pig-flex and glass was very impressive, but the reticle lines seemed very thick to me. And I think pig-flex is meant for AR, so won't work that well for 45-70 or even 30-30. And I do like the option of illumination. I know there's a "firedot" version of these Leupolds, but it's quite pricy and it's just a cross-hair reticle, I think.
Out of all the lvpos on the market, none fit my needs. That 1.5x needs to go away. A 1-6 would be ideal but theyre all stupid heavy or very long (11inches or greater) Wish trijicon (or any manufacturer)would make a 1-6 thats 10inches (or less) at most weight 16oz (lighter would be preferable.) At under 1000 dollars.
I get it I realy do. Most scopes are to big in size and leanght and weight. Its like ppl forgot that the shitt weights a lot. Now a day I go for size and weight and goes from there
This shits on both of those optically speaking. These are excellent for what they are. As long as you can deal with THR slight magnification at 1.5x and don't need lume. These are also much lighter and let more light thru imo.
@@linkchen8245 yes for sure it’s going to have a better resolution than a cheap scope that doesn’t have good glass. I own one of these for years now soon as the released I put one on a AR15 with a rmr on a 45degree mount I just leave it on 4x for the money it’s the best value I have found for a fast focus magnified optic. I have tried the vortex 1-6 strike eagle and a primary arms 1-8 can’t remember the name of it of a buddy of mines and this scope is way better as far as eyebox and clarity and to me that’s the most important thing .
What is the lightest combat LPVO with a illuminated reticle? I’ve been considering one for a while but honestly can’t get away from my T2s and EXPS3s with magnifier. Never jumped on the LPVO train but would be interested in one if I could find one with a true 1x
I'd look at the Trijicon TR-24. It weighs 14.4 oz and uses fiber optics/tritium so it doesn't need batteries. I've heard the 1x performance is excellent; I think C_DOES has a video on it.
