The Sig MSR 1-6x might be the contender for best budget LPVO at this time.
Don't buy the 1-10x MSR please.

The RT6 also gets brought up a lot:
I think it's great, but has tint, and a worse reticle (also doesn't come with a mount)
In all other regards it's very similar, and might have a better 1x.
The Primary Arms 1-6x SFP did not treat me well at all. I might have gotten a bad one.
The RT-6 on the Jump Gun works fine, but I'm more annoyed that if you put your head in the wrong place the illuminated reticle can appear in the blackness of the eyebox and it takes a bit of getting used to in order to find the sweet spot. Tint isn't awful, 1x is probably 1.1ish I'd guess. Reticle I don't know enough about to really say one way or another; I get to use it at ~400yrds again tomorrow. Otherwise it's fine; mine's on an Aero lightweight mount. But yes it's going to run you about another...hundred ish dollars depending on mounts and sales. Just chipping in a two cents.
I'm a big RT-6 fan. I have a broad range of LPVOs including a Swarovski. For the money the RT6 IMO is almost impossible to beat . Bass Pro has them with the PEPR mount for around $350 regularly
Just looked. Bass Pro has the RT6 with mount for $369.99 right now. Up $20 from last year...damn JoeFlation
Also of course my 2 cents is more like 1 cent because I think the best scope I've ever shot through is a misc. Leupold on one of my dad's rifles he got from someone; my other true scope is a Bushnell Trophy 3-9 because that's what my LGS had when I had to replace the 336's creaking terrible old scope after I bought it.

Good to see optics reviews from people who actually use them for what they're intended for. I see way too many reviewers just do flat range shooting and then say "it's great, look how many features it has!"
Hop's and your content has talked me out of buying a few different products that I thought were cool because of the features on the box. I'd be interested to eventually see a list of all the scopes you recommend in the different price tiers (sub 500, 500-800, 800-1000, etc).
Me too!
Ditto
That would be cool.
Same
Good question!
Here is the problem with guntubers. As they go up in value and features, everything less becomes budget. Like driving a Ferrari, now you compare everything after that to a Ferrari. Can you get to the same place, same destination, accomplish the same outcome on a lesser vehicle than a Ferrari? Of course you can, but will it feel the same? No, does it make it have less ability to accomplish what you need from it? No, it doesn't. I'm at the point of taking everything from a guntubers mouth with a grain of salt. When you spoil yourself, you create the illusion that anything less is just not good enough. It isn't the equipment you use it is who is using it.
I agree with you 💯 that’s why I stopped watching the big guntuber channels because they seemed to have lost touch with the average shooter who doesn’t have unlimited access and money lol
I was having the same thoughts watching the video. I have some nice optics and some cheaper ones, they all work fine with some being nicer with quality of life stuff or durability
I totally get where you’re coming from, but Glass is not one those things where you want to skimp. And no, $300 optics are not as useful as $600 or $900 optics. Especially once you step away from a flat range and actually have to find your target, in various lighting conditions and degrees of concealment/lighting.
I feel you I’m only here cause I got this lpvo in my cart and I’m excited

I got the Sig MSR lpvo since I didn’t want to commit to a much more expensive scope if I didn’t like the 1-6x. I really like the low barrier of entry and decent quality.
Yes, if it leaves you wanting, the Vortex Viper PST 1-6 is the next level up. Will not dissappoint.

Discovered your channel about 6-8 months ago I think and have really been enjoying it. Definitely appreciate your POU (to quote the ancient lore) focused approach, long term reviews, and podcast like videos too.
Been rocking PA SLx line scopes for quite a while and making do, but been looking to up my optics game. Got a super salty ACOG for just under 600 and think I lean LPVO still, though time will tell. Thinking about picking up the PA PLx-compact next and then I can hopefully settle for one of the two. Would love to see a review from you on the PLx-c, but you do you brother.
Keep the content coming, you're doing great!
Your instincts for where to put the camera are obviously good. The wide shot of you tracking the cliff top and shooting is super good. Wish it was straighter, but man is that a good use of space. The very next shot is something I also rarely see anyone try, a PVO behind the optic while mounted on the rifle. This is incredibly useful, even with the YT compression. It sucks being your own cameraman, but in the end it makes you the only one to blame for when it’s done badly, but also the only person who gets the credit for when it’s going well. This video is good, please keep pushing the visuals on these videos. The difference is becoming noticeable.
I had a very lightweight, no adjustable mini tripod. I harvested off of a cellphone stand. Sadly I couldn't straighten the picture.
and thanks. Appreciate it, it's a lot of work to frame things.
Great info! We run an LPVO course and have students show up with a variety of optics. We talk about a lot of things you bring up in this video. Keep putting out great content. Thank you.
What would you recommend ?
@@Kelvin-H. Great question, but there are several out there that would meet our requirements for a typical M4 carbine. Just about any reputable scope company that makes an LPVO that has the following:
-1x6 Power
-Second Focal Plane - SFP
-ACSS BDC reticle
That being said, if your requirements are different, then you may opt for different options. First Focal Plane - FFP typically has better glass quality and is more accurate at distances, but you compromise your use of the LPVO at CQB distances. There are always going to be exceptions as an example we love the Vortex Razor, but it tends to be too much scope for the average M4 along with the Eotech Vudu. We've only seen those in FFP, but would love to see them as SFP options.
In no particular order we'd recommend the following with SFP:
-Sig MSR 1-6
-PA SLx 1-6
-Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6
-Riton 5 TACTIX 1-6
Of those listed, we have found the Vortex to be the least expensive. There are others out there, but our experiences have been limited to the above.
Thanks@@GreenOpsInc
This is spot on! I actually picked up this scope + mount for 200 bucks including tax & shipping on an open box deal. It immediately replaced my PA 1-6X SFP. I find the Sig far easier to manage in 1x and had far more manageable parallax when using 4to6x. I love the lines in the optic window that draw your eye to the center even in lower light situations.
What's the name of the scope?
@@blw4089 Same as the one in the video, sig msr 1-6x
@@TerminalM193 yup. Thank you.
I pretty much agree with all of your points. Nonetheless, I find this scope to be a quite useable on my 16" 300AAC rifle, as it will never be called upon to make shots beyond 150 yards. At the $300 price point, this scope completes a perfectly capable hog gun package, with acceptable optics at the expected ranges.
As always, thanks much for sharing.
Steve
I love the honesty in your videos. That’s some I take seriously so thank you!
Just watched the other video you and hop put up about why x10 LPVOs are a terrible idea and it really opened my eyes. Not only it will perform poorly at low light situations and unorthodox positions, it will cause a lot of distortion at 1x.
1-6X for the win.
Can u tag the video link
300-400 being bottem end budjet is wild these days.
Did a review when these first came out because I couldn't find anything on them. There's definitely a few gripes such as the housing thickness, lack of tactile clicks and also lack of ability to reset the turrets. But once you get past that stuff and realize it's still only 3-400 bucks it's really not a bad entry level LPVO. Does give some nice features like coming with the caps and mount. And yes there's an 8 and 10x. The 10 upgrades you to resetable turrets and does bump up to a 34mm tube. The 10 is also double the price but still pretty fair for the market on an entry 1-10
Good honest review. I was out looking at scopes last night from the low to high end. Hard to find people that will not sellout and talk honestly about a product.
Thank you for your in-depth reviews and advice! It’s really appreciated 😊
I'm glad I found this video because I had been wondering what to do for a LPVO for my SA58 once I buy the railed cover. Seeing both this optic and the others you've mentioned
I agree on the engagement distance due to glass clarity. I’m still kind of just starting out but on my trips out when I go to 500+ yards it’s rough. 400 yards and below it’s fine but 500+ it shows it’s price tag haha but I love the reticle. Reticle design and price point combined with the included mount, it’s a good combo.
Could you feasibly stretch it out to 500 in a pinch? Or at least hit passable at that range?
@@cyphermasq7870 absolutely. You could take it to 600-700 with the proper skills and practice. Maybe a like dope card or ballistic calculator for assistance.
Keep up the great work!
Most gun-tubers will give any product they are reviewing 2 thumbs up, but you actually give good insight and will call a product out if it’s crap.
You go to tech? Where are some good places to shoot around here?
I have this optic as well and am considering buying a better QD mount for it. The Tango works for me for the time being but I do plan on expanding my collection in the years to come. I enjoy your videos, lol especially your honesty.
Midwest industries makes the best qd mounts I've ever personally used. Well worth its price.
let's not forget to appreciate the new soundtrack to this BF vid. great review dude.
The thing about watching brass facts is I actually have to pay close attention bc he has a unique way of talking about something, I imagine he’s a very intelligent guy. At any rate his opinion is something I do value due to his interesting and blunt honesty when reviewing a product. Thank You Brass Facts I very much enjoy your reviews!
The pst 1-6 I own has been really great so far especially compared to other poverty glass. Totally agree that clarity and light transmission is more important than some "features". The best feature is functionality.
My mount came Loose and I had to send mine back after it moved the red dot
Favorite channel on RUclips these days. I have zero interest in this optic but found myself watching all the way through just to hear your thoughts on it lol
Great content as usual. I’d love to see an updated review on the trijicon tr24 compared to all the other options on the market today
My review on it (my second video ever)
basically holds true. The lack of a real reticle is very frustrating.
But if you want to use a battle zero, and limit yourself to like 250 yards and in. it works alright. and its damn light
Awesome that your channel is growing man, great stuff as always
I have a vortex strike eagle 1x6 I picked up for 300 and a Burris pepr mount. Ever since I have had zeroed I haven't had to touch it. I've ran a lot of rounds through it and dropped it by accident, banged it around etc. It's a good option for entry level lvpo and vortex has an awesome warranty
At this point I'm about to binge watch all of your video, just for the environment you shoot it. Man, I love the desert.
Awesome stuff,love the threw the scope view at different powers and around different areas not just a gun range.just found the channel thanks for the content 👍🏿👍🏿
I love the channel man. Your content is unmatched
SIG's budget red dot Romeo 5 is actually pretty great too. Seen it for $100. They got to be losing money on their budget optics to get you into the brand.
They are not losing money.
Just make sure not to buy one from Amazon or eBay. There are a ton of counterfeit Romeo5s out there. Probably where most of the hate for them comes from
Even the MSR red dot, which can be had for around $70 is good for what it is. I was shocked by the clarity for the price.
Ah my poor naive little ericks... Lol... For example it probably costs Glock like $125 to make a pistol. So even if they sold it at $250 they still wouldn't be losing money. A lot of the stuff we think is expensive and hard to make is actually rather cheap and easy to mass manufacture.
They aren’t losing money. They pay next to nothing for labor when they get it from slave labor in China.
Pretty well nailed it. I ran one for about a week and personally hated it and got rid of it promptly. But I do see the upsides for it's price point.
am i the only one blown away with the cinematography of this video!? subscribed and liked.
I own this scope and it’s definitely serviceable. I would still suggest stepping it up to the vortex pst gen II for not a whole lot more. I own both and there’s no comparing them. The vortex wins in all baseline categories
@Jesse Robinson I had read that somewhere as well. Here’s my hot take: lpvo’s kind of all suck and Eotech with magnifier or acog is goat
@@CiviTaccute trendy ice cold take haha
@@CiviTacMore like arctic cold take, Yeah those are the best optics out there but not everyone WANTS to spend $1000+ on optics
@@smartfella7914 pst gen2 can be had under 500. Ppl should spend on something they use to protect their life & liberty
@smartfella7914 no kidding. I was like hmm barely more. Then looked at an 1300$ scope compared to a 250$ scope. Yeah i seriously hope it would be better
Always informative!
Gotta be honest I just bought one. Have a few hundred rounds on it using it from 7yds to 175yds and it's been awesome. He is right about mirage and there is fish eye but overall been great so far. Can't wait to see how it does with a few thousand rounds thought.
First off, just found you today looking for my next add on for my AR-15 and I like what I saw so far. (wherever you are looks nice, the plants make me think of Texas)
Second I really like how you are realistic about this and not over or underselling it, helps new shooters like me who are kinda overwhelmed by all the gear that goes with shooting. (only had my rifle for a few months and not done much shooting, work needs to chill out for a bit)
He’s actually in Utah of all places
I love this reticle. The large pointed lines really draw your eyes to the center quickly for closer range snap shots.

Brass Facts! You crack me up! Great videos. Subscribed.
I’m considering getting this scope for a 350 legend build as that round pretty much caps at 200. So this review pretty much puts this scope in its sweet spot. Truth of life is on optics you get what you pay for. Even that there’s some that over/under perform but not to level people think. Which this video even mentioned. I figure this scope performs up to the $500 class which is outstanding for a $300 class scope.

Thanks for the honestly review. I got this optic and am throwing it on an Aero Precision 20 inch build to experiment with LPVO's and see if I want to really like it or not.
I picked up a viper pst gen1 1-4 earlier this year and for a $350 optic the glass is better than expected. It’s basically the entry level optic used for nra/cmp service rifle competition. The big drawback for using it as a field optic would be the exposed target turrets.
the Gen II fixes that.
I love your functional real world training/shooting n the vids. Being in az myself. I feel like we’ve got similar landscape
I know it's out of your price range, but I'd love to see a comparison between the MSR and the new Sig Tango6T 1-6x the military adopted. Interesting that the Army is also adopting a Vortex 1-8x that Garand Thumb is doing a video on this Sunday. Seems like the military is going all in on LPVOs. I wonder how that will go.
I appreciate your approach to budget scope
Watched all 12 minutes! Worth a sub, and yes I’ll be sure to use the link👀
Honestly, you put out some the best content! By far my favorite channel out there. Have you looked into any of the swampfox optics? They interest me due to price to performance options out there. And there isn't a lot of reviews, or any for that matter, of the 1-6 arrowhead BDC reticle that they have. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to all of us, it has not gone unnoticed!
not yet, one day perhaps.
I have the Swampfox Arrowhead 1-10, it is amazing. Great glass, rock solid feature set, was tested by special forces on a Scar in the mountains of Afghanistan for over a year. If it can pass that test, it is good enough for me.
@@voteholyk I hear that! A former ranger recommended it to me, glad to hear more positive feedback for it.
I'm running the 1-10 right now for testing. I agree about the glass clarity and the extra magnification not lining up too well. However the 34mm tube does offer decent light transmission. Another compromise.
for sure, I'm trying to get my hands on a 1-10x atibal with the very large objective to sorta see how that does
Thanks for another honest review! 🤘🏻
I had to send in my MSR, because black flakes were bouncing around inside the scope body and obscuring the reticle. The replacement unit had a dented tube, which I promptly sent back. Third scope was GTG, but I wasn't a fan of the eyebox and clarity. Loved the reticle, tho. Sold it and bought an RT6.
new week.
new brass facts.
also give me more of that sweet podcast like content.
I just got my sig msr tango 1-6 and absolutely love it. It's my first. I have some experience shooting a strike eagle. For me getting used to an lpvo this is perfect. Once I step it up, I intend on getting an eotech Vudu and an acog.
How do you like it compared to the strike eagle?
It's like you put out a video specifically for the next step in my starter-project! Thanks for the info!

Honestly one of the best reviews on this lvpo i have one and this dude is dead accurate on it
I picked one of these up a few moths ago and love it. The glass is great the illumination is fair it's accurate. Only gripe I have is the spongy turrets
I've never run an LPVO before. This just might the be the ticket to give one a shot. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for Budget options as a review for those might just a option like for average Joe! Thanks again
Thank you for an excellent honest review
New to this channel. Excellent quality and love the commentary. New Sub.
Great review man! I love how you talk about how illumination should just be dropped on some LPVOs. And how budget and FFP is just yuck..... I will say i still have a healthy honeymoon with 2-10/14 mid range optics
... Yum. Keep it up man!

thanks man!
Very good job articulating who this is for. As a new shooter who has an Ar for prepping purposes, and who only goes to the range one or two times a month, this should be fine. Ideally I’d want to buy something better but the added cost isn’t really worth it
“ Mo BETTA!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I had to sub after hearing that💯🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I really appreciate your honest comments even when it might cost you money by people not buying the item.
Very, well spoken as always.
For a budget scope, I think it’s awesome, bought mine on sale was able to use a discount code and picked it up for $211.00 shipped. Best $200 scope with mount included and has leveling lines that pair up with mount so you can level it without all the effort. Does the job and has good glass in my opinion for 200 bucks. Has decent reticle, not a big fan of the big black lines.
I have 2 Steiners so I know what good glass is and over 3k in cost between both. I bought the msr for a build I can beat the crap of it without worry and this thing has been thrown around, in the mud, rained on and slid around in the bed of my truck and this thing is still rockin and rollin. For a budget scope I think it’s the best one. I bought a strike eagle and sold it, not worth it, you have to be perfectly behind it for you to get a clear image without shadow, sig msr is way better and comes with mount.
Thats a quite a deal just ordered one one off primary arms, black Friday sale for 250. Figured for sub 300 bucks with a mount it was probably worth that.
not everyone has the ability to drop nightforce and Schmidt & Bender money that will cost more than the rifle you're putting it on
I'm rocking the Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8FFP right now, and while it's more that mid range, @$800. The FFP reticle is what really makes it for me.
that has a amazing FFP reticle, probably my favorite. The rest of the scope is... okay. But for sure a serviceable option
I got the tango 1-10 … my two brothers got the most recent strike eagle 1-8 ffp …. I’m thinking about switching, I’m guessing you would recommend the strike eagle over the sig 1-10 ?? Or should I just go glx with offset red dot????
For better or worse, I got the SE 1-8FFP at a smoking deal and have had good results. It’s heavy as hell compared to my old PA 1-6SFP. I think it’s best use is still only up to 6x but if you’re in a stable position the 8x max mag is nice for checking things out
Just bought everything (necessary) for my first .556 build and since I was dead set on an LPVO I settled on the Vector Continental 1-6x24i SFP Fiber Tactical. Got it for $404 shipped and I'm really hoping it lives up to all the hype I've heard about their fiber reticle and "German" glass (I've heard it's most likely a German-Chinese hybrid, but still excellent for the price point)...I passed on the Primary Arms 1-6x24mm Gen4 ACSS Nova Fiber and the Sig Tango MSR w/ canti. mount for $350... hope I made the right choice 🤞🏽😅
I have the humble Vortex Crossfire II 1-4x24mm and it has served me very well at 100m and closer, can even strech out to 125-150m if ya really want to push it. wish they made a CFII 1-6 for around a similar price point. my only gripes are that i wish that illumination was an option with all the reticles, not just the v-brite, and that it came from factory with a throw lever
Edit: 10:57 - where in the hell are you gonna find a decent red dot AND a holosun mag for $300ish? the HM3X is $400+ itself, and a decent red dot will set ya back at least $200+
My Primary arms 2nd focal plane 1-6 is worth its weight in gold. I love it, 25- to 500 meters is owned by me, lol. I dont know why they make 1st focal plane LPVO 1-6 or 1-8....you cant even make out the reticle. 2nd focal plane is awesome on a 1-6 to me. Doesnt get much cheaper than primary arms SFP 1-6...$289
Forget that scope, I'm jealous of that Sandman. I've been waiting for one to show up at the shop for months, not even counting that transfer time.
If you're gonna get this optic, I would recommend leaving it at 1.25-1.5x as your default setting
Going to 1x gives a bit of a fisheye effect, zooming in all the way isn't the best user experience either
Watch every vid brother keep ‘em comin
This is why I’m still on the red dot+magnifier train. Quality LPVOs are expensive, and honestly not really thaaaaat durable. You can now get a red dot that is plenty sufficient in all the relative categories for less than $300, and there are good magnifiers in the $200-$300 price range.
In this price bracket, you are limited to 3x, but that will do just fine in many situations, and if you really need the extra magnification there are more options out there.
The 1x is just about perfect, and the 3x is great as well. You can remove the magnifier to ditch some weight swinging from target to target, and for use with night vision.
I think we were a bit too ready to jump on the LPVO default optic train. I do hope more effort is put in to minimizing the downsides of LOVOs tho.

I was 5 seconds away from getting the 8x. Took a shot of whiskey and said f it on the 6x. Couldn’t be happier with it. No need at all for 8x for 16in 5.56 ar style rifle. Love this scope/sight
I got a burris RT6 for a budget 1-6, but the Sig seems to be a better optic for the $$. I love 1-6 SFP and they will always be viable.

i have a 1x8 PA lvpo and havent had really any issues out of my 762x39 rifle.. i thought it was a budget option but this sig is cheaper and ill probably use this on a secondary rifle.
I love hearing someone talking about glass quality while all the video/broll seen is with the shooter wearing sunglasses.
A really good low cost lpvo that I have experience with is the Vortex Crossfire 2 1x-4x. If you plan on only shooting out to 300-400 max then you really don’t need the bdc(which never lines up anyway). The glass on it is super clear and the reticle is simple and clean.
Id rather have an acog then
@@aksel487 id even say a red dot + magnifier
@@aksel487 there’s a difference between a $1k+ and a $300 ish optic. ACOG all the way.
Try firefield 1-8x30 red & green reticle & etched, ffp, throw lever & mount included as well as a honeycomb anti glare deflector. 3yr use marine approved for commercial & home use! Nice vid.
I have to say this was a great video a lot of info. My scope broke on my AR I had for a very long time.. it was a cheap one . I was thinking of getting the Sig one since it's on sale but after watching this video I'm second guessing. if you don't mind me asking what would be an idea scope above this one? Want something good enough to shoot 400yrs of less. Not expensive or cheap if I have wait and save money I can wait I guess. Would Vortex Viper PST Gen II 1-6x24mm like you mention an upgrade to this scope?
I love my expensive glass but I'm not dropping 2k on a 10x optic. I'm completely happy with my tango msr 1-10. Yeah it's not crystal clear but it works great up to 300 yards and honestly i believe that's all you are gonna get out of any low zoom optic. 500 bux with mount and it's perfect
Recently found your channel. Just wanted to say love it and thanks for what you do-
Enjoying the Spanish guitar at the end, bro.
I bought a bushnell 1-4. It’s a 325$ scope and I picked it up on sale for 190$.( Illuminated). It’s a first focal plane and I know that’s not necessary on a LPVO. But I’ll tell you what it’s actually a really nice scope for the price and as clear as my 1000$ nice scope. It’s a pretty good option for the price. You can get them not illuminated and in 1-6 and 1-8 options. Worth a shot for people trying to get something usable with good features for not 5-600$+
I am, of course one of those that drifted more into general prepping than focusing more on gun prepping in the last few years, but the closer we get (presumably) to the balloon going up (or down) the more I wish I had put a lot more time and a bit more money into gun prepping. I fear the grass is always greener, no really greener, not just seeming greener.🙁 I very much enjoyed the video even though I am not very interested in the topic🤗
it's always a circular cylce, spend a lot of money on preps. then go back to guns, then back to preps.
You're never happy etc
Thats why I view it as a journey. With no end
I'm an optical engineer, if the pupil at the target (exit) side is 24mm you can only magnify 3-4x before you're sending less light than your pupil is designed for. You can goose this a little further but past ~6x, if you don't open up the exit pupil, all you're doing is making things larger, not clearer. Brass is on point here, if you want more that means bigger lenses (more material and smaller lot sizes), more machine time for the housing, and significantly greater engineering investment because you can't let theoretical optical performance go to crap at higher magnification ratios (because now you're filling the shooter's pupil... there's some deep wave/particle physics involved here, look up f/number of you want a laymen's version). 1-6x is about all I'd recommend unless the business end gets larger.
I have a pretty big video that im in the scripting stages of discussing the math behind exit pupil, the physics need for a 1x. And how fundamentally a 10x or even 8x lpvo don't actually make sense as the design criteria are at odds with the physics of the scope
@@BrassFacts Nice. More of this stuff needs to be out there.
Gr8 vid!! Can you do a review on the sionyx aurora.
Also I would love to see more shtf type videos.
It ebbs and flows between reviews and SHTF prepper content.
I might buy the sionyx auroa soon for filminng. But the short of it is:
Go watch hops video. They're for filming at dusk. Not a pvs14 analog.
@@BrassFacts thanks man! I appreciate the reply, Can't wait for another upload : )

Nice and very informative video once again, thx for your work, have you considered making video about battle rifles / .308 DMRs ?
one day, it's a bit pricy to get in to.
