Magnified optics shouldn’t be used in close quarters by viewing through it normally like a red dot. Instead they can be made to work by using the “bindon aiming concept”, which allows you to superimpose the reticle from your right eye with the open view of the left eye. This technique is what is used with ACOGs.
