Buffman’s Tests and Opinions

Now, let’s get into Buffman’s thoughts on the Odin 1-10x after putting it through its paces:

How Good is the FFP Reticle?

Though Buffman is more accustomed to SFP (Second Focal Plane) reticles, he had no issues with the FFP reticle on the Odin 1-10x. Here’s a quick primer:

• FFP Reticle: Located in front of the magnification lens. As you increase magnification, the reticle grows in size, maintaining accurate holdovers at all zoom levels.

• SFP Reticle: Located behind the magnification lens, and remains the same size regardless of zoom.

While the FFP vs. SFP debate is largely subjective, Buffman, despite being more familiar with SFP, found the Odin 1-10x’s FFP reticle perfectly usable and recommended it for those who prefer this reticle style.

How Are the Turrets?

Buffman spends a good chunk of the review discussing how impressed he was with the turrets on the Odin 1-10x:

• Size: The turrets are large and easy to grip.

• MOA Adjustment: Buffman highlights the 170 MOA turret adjustments, which provide plenty of room for fine-tuning.

• Etched Numbers: The markings are clean, legible, and precisely etched on the sides for easy reading.

• Sound and Feel: The turrets offer just the right amount of tactile feedback—not too loud, but enough to hear and feel each click.

• Zero Stop: Buffman praises the zero stop function, noting that it works flawlessly, with no slop when returning to the original zero.

Using the Scope: How Good is It?

When it comes to actual use, Buffman found a lot to like about the Odin 1-10x:

• Eye Relief: The eye relief is more than sufficient, providing comfort even when shooting at higher magnifications.

• Glass Quality: The German Schott glass delivers impressive clarity, helping ensure accurate shots every time.

• Performance: The Odin 1-10x shows no signs of fragility. It’s a solid, reliable optic that tracks well and returns to zero easily.

• Durability: Buffman found the optic durable and solid, even in rough conditions.

Buffman’s Criticisms

Of course, no review is complete without a few areas of improvement. Buffman offered some constructive criticism of the Odin 1-10x:

Daylight Performance of the Illuminated Reticle

While the illuminated reticle works well in low-light conditions, it struggles slightly in bright daylight. Buffman notes that, even with the brightness dialed up to level 6, the illumination can sometimes be insufficient in direct sunlight.

Additionally, light bleed is occasionally an issue, which can interfere with target visibility.

Overall Thoughts

Buffman concludes that, overall, the Gogunnr Odin 1-10x is a solid contender in the low-end to mid-range rifle optic market. 

Its well-built turrets, clear glass, and robust features make it a competitive option for shooters who want a versatile, reliable LPVO.

 Despite the minor criticisms regarding the illuminated reticle in daylight conditions, Buffman feels the Odin 1-10x provides excellent value for its price point. For those looking for an FFP reticle LPVO in this range, Gogunnr’s Odin 1-10x is certainly worth considering.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, Buffman’s review of the Gogunnr Odin 1-10x LPVO highlights many of the reasons why this optic is earning positive attention in the shooting community.

With its durable construction, crystal-clear German glass, and user-friendly features, it’s a strong performer in its category.

While there are a few improvements to be made—specifically with the illuminated reticle in bright conditions—the overall package is still very impressive.
