The Guardian 1-8×24 FFP LPVO from Gideon Optics is built for shooters who demand versatility, clarity, and rugged reliability. With a 1-8x magnification range and a first focal plane BDC/MOA “Christmas Tree” reticle, you’ll get pinpoint accuracy and consistent holdovers no matter the zoom level. The illuminated etched-glass reticle cuts through changing light conditions with 11 brightness settings, while the 3.5" eye relief and 3.7–8.1mm exit pupil make extended sessions easy on the eyes.
Paired with the tough, lightweight 30mm Guardian scope mount, this setup weighs just 25.9 oz and is ready to take on whatever your environment throws at it. Shockproof, IPX7 waterproof, and built from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, it’s designed to perform when it counts. With ≥140 MOA of windage and elevation adjustment, this LPVO doesn’t just look tactical—it is tactical. Whether you're ringing steel or scanning the treeline, the Guardian is your all-in-one optic solution.
