New GPO Super Compact MPVO 4-16 x 44i FFP mil shipping late May
- Thread starter 357Max
- Start date
No long term use yet.
Tried to get a few shitty iphone pics through scope.
The water tower is 886y and parallax is set to infinity. Max power 16x. Sun is full out to the right and you can see Chromatic aberration on the tree branches to the left. It only shows up on objects far closer than parallax setting. Don't know if this is normal, but it doesn't bother me as long as what I'm focusing on isn't purple.
113 yards to base of tree at center reticle.
Sky @7x & 4x
min focus is listed at 10y. This is 20 feet@ 12x
I have one here and started looking at it. It looks like a pretty nice scope so far. The reticle is not ideal, but workable. It is indeed odd that they did not just put the LRi Pro reticle into this one. The reticle they have is, for all practical purposes, P4FL without the stadiametric rangefinder. It is perfectly usable, but a little old-fashioned. Having spent a significant amount of time with P4FL, it is a very familiar sight picture for me.

I ordered one this morning form Camera Land. Opted for the 3-12x44i. This will go on my sons 6.5 Grendel AR which is mainly for hunting. Capped turrets and the I-Control reticle illumined (Duplex). I should have it by early next week and will post up some pics and thoughts.
Too bad they don't offer the 3-12x44i in FFP with Mil-FFP reticle, the 4-16 doesn't do it for me but the 3-12 would with wide FOV, but SFP is a non starter...
The field of view is pretty damn good @4x for a 30mm scope.
I’m used to the TMR reticle in the MK5 & it’s so easy to dial elevation that I kind of prefer the uncluttered reticle on this. .5 mil is a little coarse, but I can see them at 4x. Any finer and I’d probably need to be at 6-8x before they’d be usable.
Searching this scope led me to this thread.
Looking at a few scopes for my Ruger American Ranch in 6mm ARC.
Narrowed it down to this GPO, the Athlon, helos 2x12 and an Arken.
Anyone mount one of the above on a bolt gun? GPO being the shortest overall length has me wondering how it will fit.
Another forum I'e been a member of holds "drop tests" and the Athlon has failed two of them. I still like the feature set it offers.
Arken just interests me for the features and price.
I could buy but I don't think for what I'm doing need a thousand dollar optic.

I only own one GPO product, the GPOTAC45 spotter. Needed a beat around spotter with a reticle. I have been pleasantly suprised with it. Actually pretty damn good glass and resolution over probably 80-85% of the mag range. Don't have a clue about there other stuff but the spotter is a very good value for the money spent.
Mess? That looks clean compared to my bench right now.
. Nice rig BTW
