1-10x LPVO (Recce Optic)

The 1-10x LPVO category represents the pinnacle of variable magnification optics for modern recce (reconnaissance) rifle builds, offering unprecedented versatility from close-quarters battle to precision engagements beyond 600 yards. Premium offerings like the Vortex Razor HD Gen III 1-10x24 and Nightforce ATACR 1-10x24 define this category, delivering true 1x performance at the low end while extending effective range far beyond traditional 1-6x LPVOs.

The 10x top-end magnification transforms a carbine into a legitimate precision instrument capable of engaging man-sized targets at 600-800 yards, while the true 1x low end with daylight-bright illumination functions like a red dot for close-quarters work. This dual capability eliminates the need to swap rifles or optics between different engagement scenarios, making 1-10x scopes the ultimate do-everything solution for serious shooters.

First focal plane reticles with detailed Christmas tree holdovers provide precise windage and elevation corrections at any magnification, while 34mm tubes accommodate the increased adjustment range necessary for long-range work. These scopes represent significant investments at $2,000-3,200, but deliver the optical quality, mechanical precision, and versatility demanded by competitive shooters, serious hunters, and professional users.
