Low Power Variable Optics are the military's answer to having magnified optics on the combat carbines. Everyone loves red dot optics for CQB, but you sometimes need magnification on the battlefield. The problem, back in the day, was that variable optics were not sturdy enough for infantry. So many units, like the Marines, adopted ACOG fixed low-power optics for their M-16A4s. These fixed power scopes were very rugged, but lacked some of the advantages that red dots have inside urban areas.
Enter the modern world of Low-Power Variable Optics (LPVO). They are fairly rugged. They dial down to 1x, similar to a red dot. The illuminated reticles allow shooters to run them similar to red dots. Many newer versions offer even greater magnification than the ACOGs, going as high as 8x or 10x. There are even a few 12x out there.
That said, they are still a compromise. When magnification is dialed up, they don't have a lot of the benefits of our larger sniper scopes. When dialed down to 1x, they have issues that you don't have with red dots or holographic weapon optics. Still, for many missions, they are a solid compromise, and excel depending on the situation.
So, you got a LPVO, and you want it to be "Awesome," and it can; but only if you take the time to master it. That means properly mounting it to the rifle (eye relief must be perfect). You must master the reticle and any other features that make yours different. This leads us to another important part, and that's getting a GOOD ZERO.
