Gideon Optics Guardian 1-8x24 FFP LPVO - Red 5.56 MOA
The Guardian 1-8X FFP LPVO is a versatile, lightweight optic built for hunting, self‑defense, competition, and ranch or patrol use. Its 1–8× magnification, 24 mm objective, and wide 2.8–22.0 degrees field of view (14.8–116.6 ft at 100 yards) deliver fast target acquisition at close range and precise shots at distance. An etched-glass first focal plane BDC/MOA reticle keeps reference points accurate at every magnification, while 3.5 inches of eye relief and a slim 30 mm tube make mounting and comfortable shooting simple.
Rugged and reliable, the Guardian features exposed push/pull locking turrets adjustable to ≥140 MOA with 1/2 MOA clicks, IPX7 waterproofing, and 1000 g shockproof construction to withstand tough field conditions. Eleven brightness settings and thousands of hours of illumination from a single CR‑2032 battery ensure the reticle performs in varied light. At just 19.8 oz and about 10.75 inches (273 mm) long, it keeps your rifle balanced and agile. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, Gideon will replace the scope for most failures short of intentional abuse.
