- magnifier can be placed on both sides of rifle when disengaged /just by change of orientation of the mount/ - easy to engage/disengage - when disengaged magnifier is placed little lower to the side so there is only little interference with the sight - in disengaged position magnifier can not be used /turned 180 degrees/ - overall works great

Works great with 3x magnifier; makes me want to get a 5x as well. Seems more sturdy that the flip to side type. However, because it rotates 180 degrees out of the way, you can't cant [tilt] the rifle for a quick look through it when it is disengaged like the simpler flip mounts.

ordered and had to return because my eotech has a built-in riser. oops. but i was impressed with it- adjustments don't take a special tool, it seemed pretty lightweight but at the same time quite robust- if my eotech was lower i'd have kept it :) ended up going with a larue lt755t.

The Vortex Optics Swing Mount is a good solid mount. It works well. I like the quick-detach design.
