LPVOs under ~$500
A low-power variable is the scope most people put on a carbine, and the price spread runs from a couple of hundred dollars to a couple of thousand. These are the ones under five hundred at our last catalog check. The columns that matter at this price are weight, whether the reticle is illuminated brightly enough to use at 1×, and eye relief — the glass is closer than the price gap suggests.
