If you are like most hunters, you have to go through a stringent process to pick a gun scope that will suit your hunting needs. This is not just a you thing: most hunters prefer to go out at dusk, and they have to hunt in unconventional areas where not just any gun scope will do. But what about an old familiar: an LPVO? They have been around for a while, but is it a case of “old is gold”? If you are an ardent hunter or just an enthusiast looking to learn the art of the hunt, now is the time to review and explore the factors that make GUNNR’S LPVOs specifically great for hunting and why, even in 2024, it is almost impossible to find better.

VERSATILITY: THE KEY TO DIVERSE HUNTING SCENARIOS

When it comes to versatility, there is hardly an optic that supersedes an LPVO, and hunters know it. In fact, one of the primary reasons LPVOs are still so widely used in hunting is because they are an all-in-one solution. When a single optic offers you wide magnification ranges from 1x to around 6x, 8x, or even 10x, it is impossible to overlook its multiple uses.

In a hunting scenario, what an LPVO gives you is incredible range and an unrivaled ability to quickly adapt to different changes in the environment. This is not possible with many other kinds of optics. In each of the following scenarios, the LPVO you can satisfactorily use an LPVO:

Close-Range Engagements

How quickly you can bring the target into view and take your shot makes the difference between a successful hunt and a missed opportunity. At 1x magnification, an LPVO is practically a red dot sight, giving that same wide field of view you need to be effective at close range.

If you plan to hunt fast-moving game like wild boar or deer, or if you hunt in dense woods, it would be hard to find an optic that performs better than an LPVO.

Medium to Long-Range Engagements

When you are hunting in open fields, across vast plains, or over longer distances, you need an optic that allows you the ability to zoom in on your target and place an accurate shot. For this as well, you can rely on your LPVO. 

In less than a minute, you can adjust to higher magnifications, such as 6x or 8x, which are ideal for more precise shots at longer ranges. The versatility to confidently and quickly switch from stalking prey in close quarters to taking long-range shots without changing your optic is what makes LPVOs special for hunting.

DURABILITY AND RELIABILITY: BUILT TO WITHSTAND THE ELEMENTS

Any optic that is frequently used for hunting is not likely to last, except it is specifically built to withstand harsh conditions. You may find some modern optics that offer amazing features and benefits, but whether they can withstand being consistently used for hunting year after year is an entirely different matter. In rugged and challenging environments, what you need is an LPVO. Here are some reasons why:

They Are Rugged in Construction

High-quality LPVOs are typically waterproof, fog-proof, and shock-resistant. They are built to perform flawlessly in various weather conditions and terrains. Whether you are hunting in pouring rain, freezing temperatures, or dusty environments, an LPVO is still arguably the best at handling such conditions.

They Perform Consistently

Prey can appear and disappear in an instant, and as a hunter, you must be able to take that shot when it matters. This explains why reliability matters to hunters. Well, an LPVO can maintain zero and has easy and reliable adjustments. Especially when paired with the right accessories, you can ensure that your shots remain accurate over time. This consistency means you can trust your optic to perform when it matters most, which is not something that can be said for all optics out there.

SIMPLICITY: STREAMLINING YOUR HUNTING GEAR

Another significant benefit of an LPVO is the simplicity it brings to your hunting setup: there is basically no need to carry any other optic. With the close-range abilities of a red dot and the mid-to-long-range abilities of a traditional optic, you are well-equipped for any scenario. You can cut down on the amount of gear you need to carry and make your hunting experience more efficient.

LOW-LIGHT PERFORMANCE: MAXIMIZING HUNTING OPPORTUNITIES

Experienced hunters set out either during the early morning or late evening hours when light levels are low. It is hard to achieve accuracy during these hours, and they often need some kind of lighting to place their shots.

Many LPVOs feature illuminated reticles, which allow you to see your reticle clearly against the target, even in dim conditions. Whether you are hunting at dawn, dusk, or in thick cover, an illuminated reticle will ensure that you can make accurate shots when visibility is limited.

This particular feature is not unique to LPVOs, but when combined with the versatility and durability offered by LPVOs, it gives them an extra edge.

FLEXIBILITY: BEYOND HUNTING

If you decide to use your rifle for a different purpose, or if you pursue other shooting-related options, you don’t have to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on another optic. LPVOs are not only excellent for hunting; their versatility extends to other shooting disciplines as well. Your LPVO is still effective in the following uses:

Tactical Applications

The quick target acquisition and adaptability to various distances make an LPVO an excellent choice in tactical and self-defense scenarios. If you plan on trying out tactical shooting, the ability to transition seamlessly from close-quarters engagements to longer-range shots will be crucial for your success.

Competition Shooting

As with hunting, versatility and speed are paramount in competitive shooting sports. With your LPVO, you would have the significant advantage of being able to engage targets at different ranges without changing optics. In competitive shooting where you need to save precious time and deliver a perfect performance, you are already one step ahead with your LPVO.
