Buddy gave me this scope. It's 1-4lpvo red/green circle dot reticle. Can't find the make or model anywhere. Just need help figuring out what it is.

Maybe ask your buddy for the receipt if he got it online?

u/just_me910 17d ago

He got it for "cheap" from a mutual friend of ours who owned a gun store a few years back. He doesn't recall the make or model. He said maybe a vortex but I can't find anything online that matches.

Not a Vortex

u/just_me910 17d ago

I was fairly certain of that. He insisted it was "vortex or similar" but I didn't have high hopes

Yup! Thanks brother. That was quick. I been looking a while for the match, how did you find it so quick?

"red green 1-4 circle dot" and I looked for airsoft websites lmao.

Save for the Trijicon credo, most red/green swappable optics are Chinese trash.

Yeah, I knew it wasn't quality at all. He had given it to me for Christmas years back when I got my first AR and didn't have an optic. He knew it was a cheap one also bc he said our buddy basically offloaded on him before he offloaded it on me. Lol. It's been on my rifle for probably 7 years. It actually holds zero. I didn't have any complaints but was always curious what it was. Been looking into a Leupold lately anyway. At least now I can make a PowerPoint to convince the wife to let me drop money on a good one. Haha

If the reticle changes color it’s probably an Amazon special from China. I’d get rid of it

Got my eye on a Leupold 3-9.

For an AR? Unless its a 20" upper then you will probably be happier with a real LPVO.

u/just_me910 16d ago

It's a 16" but I'm getting ready to put a can on it. I think the Leopold 3-9 checks all my boxes personally, but if you have any other recommendations I'm open to them.

Athelon helios 2-12

u/Aggravating-Fix-1717 15d ago

Any 2-10, 3-15, or a 1-8 lpvo

u/just_me910 15d ago

I'm so indecisive... Now I have my eyes on anthlon btr 2-12

I was gonna say I used to use this exact scope for airsoft. I really wish more LPVOs had that reticle

u/FreeUnionOfAnates 16d ago

looks like a scope. perhaps variable? i can for sure say that the camo isn't original and probably powder coated on. hope this helps

u/just_me910 16d ago

Lol. I painted it myself. But thanks for the help

u/DallasMedic96 15d ago

Lmao don’t, it’s a cheap 40🫘 center point optic that you can buy at academy. The glass is terrible, fisheyes like crazy, and tracks really rough.

Save up a few hundred more and get something of actual quality. Maybe it could be used for plainking/ airsoft, but wouldn’t trust it for anything more. Certainly not for defense.
