A low power variable optic gives you red dot speed at 1x and enough magnification at the top end to identify and hold off at distance — one optic for the whole firing line. In Britain that combination has made the LPVO the default sight for Civilian Service Rifle, practical and service rifle, and straight-pull range work, and it does a useful job on a foxing rifle too. We stock 1-6x, 1-8x and 1-10x LPVOs, dispatched from UK stock.
Compare with fixed prism scopes and full-size rifle scopes, or add an offset dot from our offset and piggyback sights range so you keep a 1x option at the close firing points. Fitting one to a straight-pull? See straight-pull rifle optics and the best optics for a straight-pull AR. Every LPVO needs a solid mount — see rifle scope mounts. Still narrowing the field? Our 1-6x, 1-8x and 1-10x comparison lines them up side by side, this piece weighs an LPVO against a dot or a holographic, and rifle scopes under £800 covers the money.
Shop by brand: SIG Sauer, EOTech Vudu, the EOTech LPVO line-up, Primary Arms LPVOs and the wider Primary Arms range. All held in UK stock, with no import fees.
Frequently Asked Questions
FFP or SFP?
First focal plane (FFP) reticles scale with magnification so holdovers stay true at any power, which suits known-distance shooting from 100 to 600 yards (90 to 550 m). Second focal plane (SFP) keeps the reticle the same apparent size and is often cleaner at 1x. Both are well represented here — our focal plane explainer goes into the detail.
What mount does an LPVO need?
A one-piece cantilever mount matched to the scope's tube diameter, 30 mm or 34 mm, on a Picatinny rail. Browse our mounts, or read the mounts and rings buyer's guide first.
Is an LPVO allowed in my competition?
Sighting-system rules differ between Civilian Service Rifle, practical rifle and individual club and governing-body matches. Check the conditions of the competition you intend to enter before you buy.
