Buy recommendations LPVO opinions

Debating between an Alex homebrew LPVO (love the cost and the fact it comes with rings- no warranty and isn’t tall enough to fit over flip down irons)
Or a vortex venom/crossfire 2 (like the warranty - don’t love the cost + rings)

Have you tried the s6 on larger calibers? Considering getting one for my 7.62 x39, but killed a s4 not long ago

I would guess it can survive normal volume of 7.62*39 shooting. It can definitely sustain 5.56. Although the rings need some loctite for sure.

I might try it out then, it's for a bolt action  7.63 x39, so no rapid fire.

Did you get the normal one or the fiber extra bright illumination one??? And what did you think of the illumination?

Illumination is fine. Although me personally, I’m not a big fan of illumination. If you are hunting with it I would choose the one with illumination. The contrast is helpful. If you are only shooting targets then the illumination does not make a huge difference.

I have the one with illumination, I like it but I don’t turn the light on very much.
