is there such a thing as a FFP LVPO where the turrets dial like a PRS scope?

[mikeshaw2]

I like my Vortex Strike Eagle 1.-8, but all it has are holdovers. I'm shooting this rifle at gas gun PRS matches means I'd like to dial for distance

I'd like to find something like my 5-25 Venom with turrets you dial for distance

My google-fu seems weak on the subject...

[roostercogburn98]

You mean has turrets and not capped adjustments? Should be a few out there like that. Just off top of my head are two I’ve seen with that option

[bill_van]

Does not meet your description but the original Gen 1 Vortex 1-4x24 SFP actually works well for me when I rather dial. Check out EuroOptics they still have them in stock new in the box for under $300. A little low on power but good to 500yds with a bit of effort.

Or maybe one with capped adjustments but still has “finger asjustable” under the cap? That would open up

You right. I always forget why I always write it off.

Why use a LPVO and not something higher mag?

You right. I always forget why I always write it off.

The class I'm shooting in the gas gun matches says 8x max magnification and IIRC 18" or shorter barrel. I've got the magnification and barrel right now, but...

I'm not all that good at this so I need all the help I can get

Off the top of my head - cheaper but not 10% of the price of the S&B Short Dots:

@gr8fuldoug can help you out if you're interested in the Athlon
Athlon Cronus BTR GEN2 UHD 1-6×24 SFP IR MOA
Eotech Vudu 1-6 FFP
Trijicon Credo 1-8

If you're really cash strapped and want near 10% of S&B price - only ones I can think of are

SwampFox Arrowhead
SwampFox Tomahawk

 

[st1650]

Oh actually here’s another one

Burris XTR II 1-8 FFP. You have the MAD turrets which are 10 mils per turn with a zero stop.

 

[Didodadday]

I have a Primary Arms 1-6x24 FFP which cost about $450 new. Don't know if that is similar to what you want?

 

[SanPatHogger]

I have one of these. Yes it says ACME on it. Yes Wile E Coyote is on the box. The reticle doesnt start till 5 mils... But it works.
You should buy one and go win with it as a joke. But it works....

1-8x28mm First Focal Plane 34mm Elite Rifle Scope TR-MIL Reticle

This optic is like newer styles of LPVO, or low powered variable optic, but its a bit different in the aspect that it is a FFP scope, or First Focal Plane. ...

Friend of mine has this on his ar15. I've shot it, pretty good glass for the money. Never shot it past about 250 yards though.

I just put the credo 2-10x36 on my pws mk216 in 308. Only been out to 600 so far. Spotting hits on steel wasn't an issue.

Only thing that gets me with the 2-10 I have is the zero stop limits it to one revolution. In my case it's right at 19 moa. Looking at it though I think I can modify it to get get past that. 19 moa won't get me much past 600.

 

[Travis224]

Athlon ares 1-10 is dialable with zero stop. Heavy, but is a really great optic

 

[Rudy Gonsior]

Leupold CQBSS with M-TMR for the win

 

[KYAggie]

SWFA Super Sniper HD 1-6. It’s FFP and has turrets to dial with. Not a 1-8, but you can dial. I have one and it works well.

 

[RHutch]

Trijicon Credo 1-8 or Credo HX if MOA is your thang

 

[Giraffecaster]

Leupold has their zero lock if you're ok with a bit less magnification.

 

[swix]

Bushnell SMRS 1-8.5x w mil exposed turret same as XRSII and priced well to w lifetime warranty and decent japanese glass etc, often forgotten about. Sleeper LPVO.

 

[PBWalsh]

I have used a Vortex PST2 1-6 dialing out to 517 yards and felt confident with it. Dialed in a first round impact from a 12.5“ 556.

The SWFA 1-6, if you can find it, does have what you’re looking for minus the zero stop. March has some options as well at around $2,000. The newer PA PLxC supposedly comes with decent turrets.

 

[Rich4]

NX8 1-8

 

[taboopineapple]

Trijicon Credo 1-8, Athlon Ares ETR 1-10, EOtech vudu 1-10, and PA PLx 1-8 all seem to fit the bill. The PA reticle is set up for holdovers but has exposed locking turrets like the other 3.

 

[BuildingConceptsllc]

I have an Athlon Ares on my precision AR and it's pretty dang good. Probably the best you can get for the money.

I put it in a 20moa adm mount.

 

[papershredder]

Just to add to the confusion if you haven't decided yet; here's another option SAI 6. 1-6x and only one reticle, but a 1-10x model is in the works.

 

[Burdy]

Vudu 1-10

 

[Primary Arms]

We offer a FFP 1-6x that has turrets that are user configurable between Tactical or Capped
GLx 1-6 FFP optics.

 

[Ksracer]

Vortex Razor G3 1-10.
I spoke to Vortex and they said it was perfectly fine to leave the caps off and dial.

 

[fdkay]

For those on a budget:
Swampfox 1-10 ( I believe they have 2 different models)
Atibal 1-10

 

[PBWalsh]

Hi, can you get some close up pictures of the tactical turrets on the GLx 1-6 and PLxC 1-8? What are the full features of the tactical turret compared to the capped?

No offense intended toward Bill in any way.

But regarding the PST Gen 1 1-4x...

The glass on it is absolute Coke bottle bottom. Please spend more for something better.

You don't want to be clawing your eyes out after 10 mins looking through it.

I don't remember if it meets the turret request, but the PST Gen II 1-6x glass is so much better.

Yes I am. It checks the boxes and that's the most important thing for me at this point. Locking exposed elevation, capped windage, FFP, Good reticle, lightweight and durable. I have beat on it pretty good, including dropping it on the rifle from 4 feet on to hardwood, scope first while mounting it and all has been good. There is limited options that check all my needed boxes, one of them cost around $5k (S&B CC SD), the others usually missing a feature or two or have bad eyebox/distortion. Right now I think its the value winner in the space for sure.

 

[LawnMM]

Bushnell SMRS 1-8.5x w mil exposed turret same as XRSII and priced well to w lifetime warranty and decent japanese glass etc, often forgotten about. Sleeper LPVO.

The Bushnell reticle is shit and makes zero sense whatsoever.

The Burris XTR2 1-8 FFP is good but they're not making them anymore. Your next best bet is the Credo.

None taken! I guess I got lucky since mine are quite usable for what they are. Since the OP listed the SE as currently owing, I was just trying to keep the price in the lower range. Appreciate your comments!
