Reticle
The Primary Arms 1-6x LPVO scope’s reticle is an Advanced Combined Sighting System, which is patented, and tuned for the .22LR. It’s also an SFP, so the size remains constant at all magnification levels.
The reticle is effective and provides users with unrivaled accuracy and utility. Other than that, it makes it easy to estimate holdover, for varying distances and wind holds for crosswinds.
It has carefully crafted markings that indicate target yardage and where you would place the shot when the wind is blowing at different speeds.
The reticle is illuminated with 11 different brightness levels. This enables it to be used in a variety of environments. Furthermore, it is etched on glass, resulting in long-term durability and consistent readings.
Optical Quality
This scope gives the shooter a high-quality image without any dark edges. Well, the quality cannot match that of more expensive options like the Leupold VX-6HD 1-6x24mm scope but it’s very decent considering this scope only costs less than $300.
Additionally, the scope has a decent eye relief of 3.5mm but where it really shines is the field of view. The large field of view makes it easy to track targets and also gives the shooter good awareness of the surrounding.
Ease of use
The scope is lightweight and portable, making it convenient to use. All of the dials are simple to turn and provide audible click feedback.
Because agility is the primary benefit of an LPVO, manufacturers have included a throw lever on this scope. Its purpose is to adjust the magnification across the entire range, from 1x for close-range targets to 6x for mid-range targets. The throw lever is also reversible, which means it can accommodate different handedness
Durability
One of the fortes of this scope is how well it has been built, the materials used, and what it can withstand at a price of less than $300. The scope has an aluminum housing, in addition, the lens is waterproof and fog proof. Next, the scope is covered by the Primary Arms lifetime warranty that either replaces or repairs the scope in case of malfunction.
