It offers a range of magnifications that a red dot with magnifier\u00a0cannot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While an LPVO can often be on the heavier side compared to a red dot with a magnifier set-up, that\u2019s a trade-off to get the benefit of adjustable magnification. On 1X power, an LPVO has the ability to be shot like a red dot, but then you can dial it up to 4X,6X or even in some cases 8X or 10X, and shots at 600 yards-plus can be done with ease (depending on your rifle or cartridge being used).<\/p>\n<h2>The Main Differences<\/h2>\n<p>What is the intended purpose? If it\u2019s going on a gun for CQB most of the time, then a red dot and magnifier is more ideal. The LPVO will outshine any red dot and magnifier combo if it\u2019s for a DMR (Designated marksman rifle) role and the needs of longer engagements outweigh closer range use. Yet, the LPVO can be dialed down to 1X to shoot close and fast.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-37065\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/vortex-red-dot.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/vortex-red-dot-800x533.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/vortex-red-dot-400x267.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/vortex-red-dot-768x512.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/vortex-red-dot.jpg\" alt=\"vortex red dot\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/vortex-red-dot.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/vortex-red-dot-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/vortex-red-dot-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/vortex-red-dot-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A red dot sight gains additional usefulness from the addition of a magnifier that can be rotated in and out of place depending on your shooting\u00a0needs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The overwhelming majority of 3-Gun shooters use an LPVO, yet in a SWAT team, most of the members will be fielding a red dot or a holographic type sight.

The magnifier can be moved to the right of the gun when not in\u00a0use.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>With that being said, a red dot will always be faster than any LPVO on 1X power if it\u2019s CQB or close range targets which need to be shot fast while maintaining situational awareness and having both eyes open while shooting. Of course, someone can shoot both eyes open with a scoped optic, but with a red dot it\u2019s much easier. Most red dots or holographic weapon sights are parallax free. This means regardless of where the red dot is in the optic window, the bullet will still impact where the dot is transposed upon.<\/p>\n<p>With any rifle scope, it\u2019s imperative the reticle is centered in the objective lens. If you don\u2019t center the reticle in a variable power optic, it can make your shot off by a few inches at short distance, or several feet when you shoot longer range.<\/p>\n<h2>The Right Choice?<\/h2>\n<p>The truth is, there isn\u2019t a wrong choice on this. Just one of these two optics maybe a better option depending on what their intended role is. I reiterate, if you are using the optic for CQB with the rare occasion of needing magnification at longer range or even positive target identification, a red dot with magnifier might be a better choice.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-37062\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/red-dot-or-scope.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/red-dot-or-scope-800x533.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/red-dot-or-scope-400x267.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/red-dot-or-scope-768x512.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/red-dot-or-scope.jpg\" alt=\"red dot or scope\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/red-dot-or-scope.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/red-dot-or-scope-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/red-dot-or-scope-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/red-dot-or-scope-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">For a traditional scope reticle, the LPVO is the best choice.
