I'm wanting a lpvo for a brush gun. Something I can shoot with both eyes open but still have enough magnification to make a little longer shot if needed. Seems like most lpvo's are ffp and the reticles are too much. I'm wanting a simple illuminated duplex with a custom turret. Anything from 1-1.7 on the low end and at least 8 on the high end of magnification. I'd rather not spend 2 grand on the dang thing but I'd like to hear what you guys suggest. Thanks.
1-10 sfp lpvo options

what is the close and long range your thinking? what kind of rifle and caliber? do you have a specific budget in mind? is weight a big consideration with the build?
Close would be up close, far probably 300ish. It'll be for a 35 whelen. Weight, under 22 oz. Price, under 1200
add decent eye relief to the mix, 35 whelen is a thumper. My mind immediately went to Swarovski, the old z6i series and the new z8i series (https://cstactical.com/swarovski-z8i-1-7-13-3x42-4a-if-68202/ this with the ballistic flex turret) but that is out of budget unless you go to a used. a lot of lpvo's have exposed turrets, in my mind a covered turret would be a better option for a brush gun, just having the top exposed seems ideal if you want some ballistic compensation. i'm stuck in meetings all day, i'll try to think of some other options.
I'd probably pick up a PA PLxC 1-8x24 SFP with the fiber reticle. They have some blems right now for right around $1k.
