Today’s 12 Minute Talk:

1-10 LPVO or 2-10 with a red dot?

It depends.

Wade breaks down:

Close range vs longer range priorities

When an LPVO makes more sense

When a 2-10 shines

Offset vs rooftop red dots

First focal plane vs second focal plane

Reticle differences (BDC vs Christmas tree vs MIL)

Parallax… do you actually need it?

If you're building an SPR-style rifle, a predator rig, or a dual-purpose AR-15, this conversation will help you decide what fits your real-world use case.

The short answer?

If you're shooting more up close → LPVO.

If you're shooting more distance → 2-10.

Or… buy both.
