  • Pretty disappointed in this optic.
    We reached out to the company for comment and explained the situation.
    Stay tuned for more on this optic, as of right now it is a non-recommend

    For those that keep commenting that it’s the mount
    This is the same mount
    Different optic
    Adapter plate on the mount
    Different day
    Same distance
    Same test
    No zero lost. Thank you.

      You say it is the same test but are you beating the second optic on the same object, with the same force, and the same repetition? Your linked video does not demonstrate the same number of strikes.

    You're not gonna wanna hear this, but it's probably the mount setup. Right now you have the optic screwed into a plate that is screwed into the dovetail mount that is mounted on the slide. There's so many parts that can move around compared to mounting directly to slide, or mounting to a plate to a slide. Every extra part is just another point of possible failure
    I'd recommend testing that mount with another optic to see if you can repeat the results
    You’ll probably save yourself quite a bit of future headache getting a slot milled on the slide
    For reference, I've got one mounted on an Impact Machining plate which is mounted on my CZ Shadow 2 directly to the slide. About a thousand rounds through it, no issues

    I have this same optic on my Echelon never had a problem or failure doesn’t lose zero is one of the best optics I’ve owned. I also have their tactical light, lpvo, sling, iron sights, and many other products they are all solid this company does it right and this one video shouldn’t deter anyone from checking them out and using their products. And before you keyboard warriors start coming I shoot literally everyday rifle and pistol and I’m putting everything under stress with dynamic training.

      The only reason I bought the optic was because it’s my first time owning a rifle and putting an optic on it and I didn’t do that much research so I paid the price. I almost spent $100 on it. I would just say it to say LPVO for primary arms for those looking for an LPVO that is in a budget option.

    So you shot 2 inches low from the head zone on paper, then all the sudden 3 and 4 sooo that was edited. Then shot 4 inches low on the A zone. The last one was key holing. So you're saying your ammo sucks. It's just seems weird you were shooting fi, e then have a malfunction stating its the ammo and now it's the optics fault. I use tons of tacticon optics, and I'm not easy on them I've had no issues. Also, I see no problem with those groups . If it's a bad guy he's done. There is no need to bash a brand because of stupid crap like that. Calling things hotdog water for views is a starfish Channel.
    I do wish you the best on your channel.

      @@The-Noobtuber what ever cope you need my guy, I didn’t have these issues until the optic was used to rack a round, both times the optic consistently shifted zero low, not only low, but super low. The zeroing ring inside the optic was slipping when it was rack as best as we can tell, for a 300 dollar optic I expect much better. Saying that your stuff works when mine clearly isn’t is like me calling dell letting them know that I have the blue screen of death on my laptop and them saying well that their computer is working fine so I must be lying. I have other products from them that have worked well, this is just not one of them. It’s not my job to give only good reviews, I am here sharing my experience with others. My experience was negative, a 6 inch shift low at 25 yards is unacceptable to me.
