I need a decent magnifier that will match up with my Eotech 512, its raised 7mm so I dont quite know where to go. I heard the Vortex VMX3 is decent but I dont know if the mount will match up with the height of my Eotech.
The magnifier is just that…a magnifier. It does not affect POI. Why spend $600 on a magnifier? Spend $125 on a Vortex or Precision arms 3X. Spend $150 on a LaRue mount. You save over $300. What really matters is that the mount lines up the magnifier properly. It is just magnification. An inexpensive magnifier will not shift your POI.
If you can find a LaRue Po’boy setup it’s the way to go. It’s a 2.5x mag with the mount. They don’t sell them anymore, but you can find them for sale sometimes. Also might check out Mako group for something cheap and serviceable.
I personally hate magnifiers…but a buddy of mine got a Mako that he seems to like and he says its good. He also runs Plumcrazy lowers and a YHM complete rifle. Its absolute co-witness. Not sure on price but I know he got it from Cheaper Than Dirt
