Before you buy a product, especially an FFP LPVO, it is always advisable to check all available reviews and see what experiences others have had with it. Gogunnr is one of the latest LPVO brands in the industry, and it just launched its ODIN FFP LPVOs this year. Since its launch earlier, these LPVO optics have been tested by independent experts and reviewers nationwide. The key word here is “independent”—the company’s policy allows reviewers to conduct a full review, including the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Well, the results are in.

We will summarize the key points of the most influential experts and reviewers who have reviewed these new LPVOs, what features they were most impressed with, and see if perhaps you would like to give this new brand a shot!

A Word About the Reviewers

We have decided to go with YouTube reviews, mainly because they have video evidence that allows you to observe the rifle in action. The mix of reviewers is picked not just based on how popular the review is (or how much of it we agree with) but also on how succinct and detailed the information is presented and how much video evidence there is. So, here are our top three reviews.

 

Reviewer #1: Operatoroveralls (@YouTube) 

Operatoroveralls delivers the most detailed and succinct review of the Odin 1-10x 28 LPVO after using it for “a few weeks.” His review is the most detailed, and he discusses each point with precision and clarity. Here’s a quick summary.

i. “Absolutely Phenomenal” Glass Clarity

Particularly impressed by the clarity of the German Schott glass. He finds the glass to be incredibly clear and with enough contrast. What impressed him the most was the absence of any chromatic aberration.

Because it's going to come up again, let's define chromatic aberration.

A Little About Chromatic Aberration

Without going into the complicated details of light waves and optics, chromatic aberration is responsible for the purple or green edges you sometimes see around objects when you look through a scope, binocular, or camera lens.

Operatoroveralls confirms that with the Schott ED glass, the light coming in is more accurately focused, and you see a sharper and cleaner image. This is why the images on all Odin scopes are natural, with true-to-life colors and more realistic.

ii. The 34mm Tube

According to this review, the 34 mm tube is another point of praise. This length and size explain two reasons why they work best for an LPVO the size and stature of the Gunnor 1-10x.

• It is wide enough to provide a broader field of view. You get satisfactory situational awareness, which is great, especially because the objective lens of an LPVO is usually smaller.
• The 34mm tube also allows better light transmission, allowing images with greater contrast and better clarity when taking your shot.

iii. The First Focal Plane Reticle (FFP)

This reviewer points out the advantage of the FFP as one of the most impressive features of the Odin 1-10x. The big advantage of a 1-10 FFP LPVO over an SFP LPVO is that the holdovers remain accurate no matter what level of magnification you are shooting at. With an SFP, the advertised holdovers only apply at the highest level of magnification.

The Reticle

The first reviewer describes the Tree reticle as “very usable.” Once dialed in, the reticle is clean and crisp. The center dot structure means you can the figures displayed as a kind of assistance for proper aiming and target acquisition. 

iv. The illuminated Reticle

Another eye-catching feature (at least to the eyes of the first reviewer) was the illuminated reticle. It works great and provides enough illumination to take your shots during daylight hours.

v. Turrets

The turrets of the Odin LPVO were another favorite feature, according to the first reviewer. They are indeed tactile, tracking true, and they click into place with an audible sound that lets you know exactly which one you're on.

The turrets are exposed (which he finds to be a good thing), and you have the option to dial, but they are quite solid when locked into place. No issue with the turrets.

Criticisms

• Operatorovalls' biggest criticism is that the Odin MOA needs a Mildot. Though the MOA could be quite functional for single-person use, converting from Mil to MOA can be quite demanding, so it would be hard to sync up with other shooters in the event of a competition or group hunting.
• It could use some hash marks, so a shooter is able to tell how many rotations they made, and what MOA they are currently at.

Overall conclusion

It is “insane” to get his much quality from an optic within this price range.

Reviewer #2: Reno May@YouTube

Reno reviews the Odin 1-8x 28 LPVO. After using the optic for more than a month, his review is focused on performance, and he also touches on some criticism mentioned in the last review. Here is a summary

Pros of the Odin 1-8x 28 LPVO

The biggest selling point is the German Schott glass. It is fantastic for an optic within this price range. There is no blurring at 1x, and the images have no distortion at their edges (chromatic aberration), even at higher magnification.

• With daylight brightness, you get enough contrast, and even at 8x, the image remains clear and crisp.

The Turrets

• The turrets are responsive but firm, and you get a loud, satisfying click as you turn.
• The throw lever is a clever and practical touch, which makes operating the optic way easier and more convenient.
• The red dot illumination is good, and the optic is to be used in the daylight.
• The absence of a Mil-dot reticle is not really an issue. You can work around it by making your adjustments inside the reticle.

Criticism

• At 685g, the optic is on the heavier side
• It would be great if it came with capped turrets

Reviewer #3: Rob’s Reloading @YouTube

If you want to see the Odin 1-10x 28 LPVO in action, this is the review to check out. Though he has had the optic for the shortest time, Rob spends a significant portion of the review testing out the reticle at a range just outside. You get to see him make the necessary adjustments, fire shot group after shot group, and make value judgments as he goes along.

Here are the main takeaways.

• The optic holds zero impeccably.
• The image is clear, and the reticle is great for accuracy.
• The turrets work and are solid once locked in.
• The glass quality is great, no complaints.

The Bottom Line

Here’s the thing about a product review: it is as much about the features that are not mentioned as it is about those that are mentioned. It is often safe to assume that the rest of the features work alright, and so there is no need to discuss them.

Suffice it to say that all reviewers found it quite incredible that our optics could be made of German Schott glass, include such amazing features, and still stay within the budget bracket.

Overall, two things stand out from all these reviews: 

• The Odin LPVO optics are of good class and provide clean and clear images.
• The performance is solid. No major complaints or lags
• The features are standard, even better than what you would expect in a budget LPVO
• They are recommended for the price range.
