Arken EP8 1-8x28mm FFP LPVO Riflescope

The Arken EP8 is a 1-8x28 low power variable optic with the reticle in the first focal plane. At the bottom of the range it works much like a red dot for close and moving targets with both eyes open, and wound up to 8x it will sort out targets well past anything iron sights can manage.

First focal plane matters on an LPVO because the reticle grows and shrinks with the image, so a hold read at one magnification reads the same at every other - no mental math and no remembering which power the reticle was calibrated at. The 34mm main tube is on the large side for this class, so order 34mm rings and check clearance over the handguard before mounting. The 28mm objective keeps the front end short, which is what you want on a carbine where the scope has to sit close to the receiver.
