Welp this happened, don't know jack Diddly about pistol scopes. What's everyone like..how far off are pistol scopes from LPVO's ?

What is LPVO's?

Low power variable optics. More of an umbrella term I guess ?Usually there like a 1-4x 1-6x 2-6x 2-8 x. Pretty compact large field of view moa tmy illuminated reticle and longer eye relief . Very popular with the AR crowds because you can turn them all the way down and basically have a red dot or all the way up and you have basically a regular scope. Really surprised their not more of a thing with regular hunters ..know when I introduced my dad to one he fell I love with them. This is the little 1-6 I put on his 6mm ARC and he loves it

Nope
100 …. No scope
Maybe cheaters from the dollar store

Annnd I thought my 1-4 and 2-7 scopes were just scopes, lol. Seriously ,,,a pistol scope is small field of view ,and the higher the power ,the harder to keep steady. I've always done well with 2x Burris or Leupold .

pistol optics are about 8-22 inches off of LPVO as LPVO have a 2.5-3.5 inch eye relief

on pistols , I say a Dot if your hunting

pick your favorite dot , but magnification mostly shows you how much your shaking

if your going magnified Burris fixed 2x 10-24 inches of eye relief and you just don't need a bunch of magnification

the more magnification , the closer and smaller the eye relief on some it is 10-12 inches at high magnification so if your shooting off a bag for paper targets , not to bad , but trying to shoot off hand is basically a no.

Hmm Interesting! An here I always thought pistol scope had wide fields of view, that's why I thought they used them on scout rifles. Interesting

Welp it don't have iron sites so

OOOwwKay.
I have HPVO-EER Burris.
How you like em apples WD? lol
Lots of sights online.

Wish I could take lessons from you guys.

nope think of a scout scope as you can see all around the scope and what you see through the scope is a 5-18 foot area magnified

I think LPVO made scout scopes a thing of the past , because you can go from seeing the area both eyes open to 6 or 8 power with the flip of the lever allowing you to do near and moderately far with ease , speed and a wider field of view

think about it like this take a paper towel roll and hold it up at arms reach and look at something in the distance through the hole move it back towards your eye and watch the field of view grow

LPVO are also often 30 or 34mm tubes to make the FOV even larger

but the eye relief of an LPVO is around 3 inches

are you sure it isn't a MPVO medium power variable optic 2-10

or are you up in the 6-18 or 5-25 range

Had to go look its 3-12.
EER is either a learning curve or for sale.
Buying online SUCKS in this regard.
To be fair I need more time behind it.

Lol you don't want any lessons from me I'm just a YouTube expert

Yep…..

Funny this cam back up. Undead up going with a lil reflex sight for now


Not the best but it's working and think I'll be upgrading to a UTG 2-7 here soon

Dot sight……or a real scope
Depending on the distance you want to shoot.

Pistol is not a contender…..

Regular rifle scope

There's a pastor out of , either, Wyoming or Montana ; name's Ernie. He shoots very specialized pistols , more like rifles without butt stocks. Not my cup of tea , but he did write some great articles about putting rifle scopes on long range pistols. I believe he has a custom optics guy that knows how to tweak the eye relief on them.

Ernie Bishop is who your referring to. He is in Gillette, WY
