Khyber Optics 1-5x24 LPVO

Khyber Optics 1-5x24 Low Power Variable Optic (LPVO)

Low Power Variable Optics (LPVO) have dominated the AR-15 optics scene for well over a decade and for good reason - they work. But in the chase for the latest and greatest, many suffer from trying to pack too many features into a small package. In our view, that misses the original purpose: a lightweight, general purpose scope that increases the lethality of the shooter and his rifle. 

The 1-5x24 is our answer to the LPVO returning to its roots. Lower magnification for a more forgiving eye box and stronger light gathering. A bare-bones simple, rugged optic with as few points of failure as possible. Japanese glass, 30mm tube, a highly intuitive MOA rangefinding reticle, and exposed locking turrets for dialing in ballistic corrections. 

Using the Reticle

Zero at maximum magnification, any distance, however I suggest 36yd (25m) for a standard 300m battle sight zero (same point of impact) for 5.56 or 308. The hash mark spacing is 5 MOA. Your bullet drop will correspond to the inches of drop of your specific round which can be measured in MOAs. To use the rangefinder: the range finder is based on the average height of a man (70 inches). Put the scope on 5x, place the feet of the target on the horizontal line and whichever line the head meets is the approximate distance to your target. Very simple to use, no electronics.
