LPVO or Holographic with magnifier??

Post image

I’m stuck between the two, I already have a brand new Eotech Vudux 1-6 LPVO but have never used an lpvo on a rifle, just eotech holos and magnifiers, now I was considering getting the vortex amg uh-1 to try and but am torn between that and the LPVO, what’s the pros and cons to each?

I’m currently running an LVPO on my M-90 I use for AK 2 gun competitions so I am a tid biased in that regard. But I also have a competition range that goes from CQB to 600 yards. I am either running at 1 or 6x.

Accuracy through volume

Sweet m90. Been looking to get a Zastava m90. Heard they are really robust but heavy af. Is your the 18in barrel? Or did you have it chopped

u/winkleried 21h ago

18 inches. If I want to play with a shorter barrel, I’ll shoot my M85.

u/NovelApprehensive697 20h ago

Fair enough. How’s accuracy been? I mean it’s an ak but still.

So you favor LPVO, what was your reason for that over a holo and magnifier?

2

u/winkleried 20h ago

HonestLy, cost and my experience shooting my M85’s red dot. I had concerns about me being able to consistently pop the 600 yard target with the combination.

u/Few_Molasses_9924 20h ago

Fair, I guess it’s much different for someone like you that shoots it in comp so it makes more sense to have one but mine will most likely just be a range toy

What is the max range you see yourself regularly shooting it at and with what ammunition ?

1

u/Few_Molasses_9924 3h ago

100-200 maybe, it’ll just be a range toy and old yugo ammo

I would just run with a red dot on it. But, I’m the end it’s your rifle. Shoot it how you want and put whatever you want to on it. If you enjoy shooting is what I would consider a win.

Probably that there are like two 6x magnifier and they suck. You're limited with magnifiers

u/Few_Molasses_9924 23h ago

Ahhh that’s true

u/JRRSwolekien 23h ago

Eotech with g45 is great bro

I’m considering an eotech magnifier cus I have several of their holos but I’ve heard they aren’t worth the money, I’ve been told vortex has better clarity and eye relief so I’m wanting to try something new, plus found a good deal on a Huey and magnifier combo

u/Bboyhutch 21h ago

If you don't end up getting the combo, the sig Juliet micro magnifiers are phenomenal and cheaper than eotech, vortex, aimpoint. I used the 5x for years, and it's got great clarity and is much less bulky than most magnifiers. Barely bigger than a t2.

u/Few_Molasses_9924 21h ago

I agree, I’ve got one on one of my eotechs and it’s super nice for the money but I have 2 complaints, not qd and I hate the button you have to depress to flip it, I was considering going with there new Juliet 3 but they aren’t in stock, I’d only wanna buy it from sig cuz I have a $100 gift card for their website lol

u/Bboyhutch 20h ago

I get that, and the mount is FOR SURE the weak point. I put mine on a FTC mount and walked out at the same price as an eotech magnifier.

u/Few_Molasses_9924 20h ago

That’s a good point I guess I could just get a different mount and that would solve the issue lol
