Choosing LPVO vs Red Dot
This video compares Low Power Variable Optics (LPVOs) and Red Dot Sights with Magnifiers, discussing their ideal use cases. It highlights that Red Dots with Magnifiers are better for CQB and speed, while LPVOs excel for Designated Marksman Rifle (DMR) roles and precision at range, though they can also be used for close engagements. The comparison features a Vortex Viper PST Gen 2 1-6 LPVO against a Vortex Sparc Solar with a 6x magnifier, mounted on a Springfield Saint Edge AR15. The video emphasizes that proper training is crucial regardless of the optic choice.
