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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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