I wanted a good multipurpose scope for my AR (I shoot between 10 - 100 yards typically). This lpvo gives me the speed of a red dot and also really good accuracy for longer range shooting, great for a multipurpose rifle. Nice that the recticle is illuminated, but works fine turned off and after 500 rounds, holding zero great! I liked this on my ar so much, I put one on my mini-30 too.
