Meprolight Optics Explained | Red Dots, LPVOs

Meprolight has quietly developed some of the most rugged, battle-proven optics on the market—used by militaries, relied upon in harsh conditions, and crafted with thoughtful details that often go overlooked. In this video, we break down three standout options:

The MEPRO 1-8x LPVO is perfect for mid-range precision with a smooth throw lever.
The MEPRO M22, a red dot with tritium and fiber optic illumination—no batteries needed, but it still offers 50,000 hours if you want them.
The MEPRO MCO PRO, a compact, fully enclosed red dot with multiple reticles and weatherproof reliability—ideal for shotguns or carbines.

Then we go deeper—into the reticles, the measurements, and why reading the manual matters. These optics are packed with features like subtensions and built-in ranging tools you’ll miss if you don’t take a closer look. If you’ve ever ignored an instruction manual and missed critical info (yeah, same here), this one’s for you.

Whether you’re building a home defense rifle, a duty carbine, or a precision setup for the field, Meprolight has options that work—if you know how to run them.
