AR 1-4x Scopes – Low Power Optics for Fast, Accurate Shooting

If you're looking for the perfect balance between close-quarters speed and mid-range precision, AR 1-4x scopes are one of the most versatile optic choices you can mount on your rifle. Whether you're defending, competing, or hunting, a quality 1-4x LPVO (Low Power Variable Optic) gives you unmatched adaptability on your AR platform.

At Mounts Plus, we offer a curated selection of AR 1-4x scopes from trusted brands designed for rugged performance, crystal-clear glass, and rapid target acquisition.

Why Choose a 1-4x Scope for Your AR?

1-4x optics are ideal for shooters who want:

Speed at 1x magnification for CQB or home defense
Clarity and reach at 4x for engaging targets out to 300 yards
A true “do-it-all” scope for multi-role rifles
Improved versatility over red dots or fixed magnification scopes

Unlike red dots, 1-4x scopes offer magnification for better PID (positive identification) and shot placement—without sacrificing quick target acquisition at close range.
