Have a 1-4x leupold that I’m looking to swap out.
Not enough magnification…
What’s the best lpvo for the money right now?

A used Vortex PST II 1-6 is real hard to beat for $350-400 used.
While heavy they are built tough with a clear 1x.

I have a bushnell smrs 1-6.5. It’s not a budget optic but it’s been very solid. Clear 1x and enough magnification on the top end for anything the AR it’s on will ever do. That AR used to wear an Aimpoint micro. I much prefer the LVPO to a red dot. Aside from the weight, it’ll do everything better IMO. Even has illuminated center dot.

Steiner T6Xi 1-6 is solid.

Even though I already responded recommending the T6Xi, I would most likely buy an NX8, as J.G. suggested, if I needed another LPVO. Reason being is I generally know what to expect as I have a different model NX8 already. I bought the T6Xi only because I wanted to explore and I don't regret it.

Clearest glass I've looked through...it's shockingly clear. Shocking like looking through NL Pures for the first time shocking.

I was impressed with glass, I’d like to see side impact testing for it though. LPVO Are probably the most abused scopes on the market

But, since it has Vortex's name on the scope, it's already failed my testing.

As much Ammo has Ramsey has for that musket, it will dangle sure get a durability test😂🤣 OP another option is March especially if you want a locking turret . DR-1F Reticle is great
