It is never a good idea to buy your rifle optic from one supplier and the relevant accessories from another, especially when suppliers make it so easy to get everything in one go. Gogunnr offers all Odin LPVO optics at different price tiers, the main difference being the number of accessories that come with them. Of course, these accessories can be sold separately, but they are more affordable when purchased together with the optic.
This blog will review the main accessories involved in each package, help you understand, compare, and contrast the prices, and make things easy so that you can mount, set up, and use your optic safely and securely.
Understanding Gogunnr’s Price “Packaging System”
You can think of each tier as a package, with a number of accessories all offered at a reduced price than they would have been if bought separately. This is important because getting a package with more accessories actually means you save money.
For each of the three LPVOs in the Odin line, you have the choice of purchasing the “optic only,” “optic with mount,” or “optic with mount and case” options. These packages all include an optic, but what differentiates each package is the number of accessories involved. Some of the accessories, like the box, come with additional smaller accessories that may not be immediately obvious.
Let’s examine what each package contains.

Examining Each Package
Package #1: The “Optic Only” Package
The LPVO is the main component in each of these packages. If you chose the first option alone, you are willing to pay the full price of each LPVO and nothing else. The price, of course, will vary depending on whether you are going for the Odin 1-6x 28, the Odin 1-8x 28, or the Odin 1-10x 28. The higher the magnification, the higher the price. Here’s a price list.

You Can Choose the Optic Only Package If
- You already have a Gunnr cantilever mount and the Runes Box
- You are convinced you can make do and don’t need the other components.
Package #2: The Optic With Mount Package
The optic with mount package means you get whichever optic you choose, along with a Sleipnir 30-34 mm Cantilever mount from Gogunnr. The obvious advantage of using this mount is that it is specifically designed to fit the structure of your Odin LPVO, so sturdiness and quality are guaranteed.
Also, it is cheaper when you buy it together with your LPVO.
Keeping in mind that the Mount costs $90 when purchased independently as we examine the prices of package 2: “Optic with Mount”
