In this SIG SAUER TAC-TIPS video, Mike from Six Hours Academy breaks down why LPVOs like a 1-6, 1-8, or 1-10 used to be the standard for The Tactical Games — and why competitors are now trending toward higher-magnification variable optics as paper targets stretch out to 150-200 yards. The short version: an LPVO is the well-rounded, one-stop-shop option if you want a single optic that runs action stages on 1x and reaches out on the top end. A mid-range variable like the SIG Tango DMR 3-18 gives you the magnification to see impacts on paper at distance — but it forces you to add a secondary red dot for close-in speed. Mike and his shooting partner Austin have been competing with the Tango DMR 3-18 for two seasons, and they run their red dots in two completely different positions. That split is the real lesson here: there's no free lunch, and the right setup depends on how you shoot. Key Takeaways LPVOs (1-6, 1-8, 1-10) were the Tactical Games standard, but stages now reach paper targets out to 150-200 yards. The SIG Tango DMR 3-18 is Mike's recommended mid-range variable — Mike and Austin are two seasons deep with it. A DMR optic requires a secondary red dot so you can drop to 1x for action stages. Mike mounts his red dot at 12 o'clock for faster distance-target transitions; Aus…
