Reviews & Ratings for UTG Pro 3X Magnifier w/ Flip-to-side QD Mount — 56 reviews — Page 1

I will start out with one slight disappointment. I bought this to pair with a UTG Pro 3.8in ITA 1x30mm Red/Green Circle Dot Sight w/Integral QD Mount, 4MOA Reticle, Black, SCP-RG40CDQ - which I had bought here. This was about 1/4" too tall to work with that red dot. Maybe that's on me. Nonetheless, I had also recently purchased a Swampfox Liberator II Mini Green Dot Sight 1x22mm, 2 MOA Green Dot Reticle, Black, RDLR122-2GD that I was going to use elsewhere.

After realizing the UTG magnifier and red dot wouldn't work together (without additional, possibly significant, expenditure), I decided to try it with the TS20 on my Tippmann M4-22 Pro. Again ... they didn't match up height-wise. Dang it! Enter the Swampfox. I was able to remove the extension from the Swampfox, affix the shorter attachment included with it and then attach a UTG 0.8" Picatinny riser - torqued to specs. Perfect match! Needless to say I was happy after trying so many different combinations of red dots and the magnifier. Took it to the range today, zeroed the red dot for 50 yards to be on paper and then aligned the magnifier. Perfection at 50 yards. Take the target out to 100 yards and with a couple of adjustments was zeroed in easily. Prior to the magnifier, I was much less "zeroed" at 100 yards. Now, it's much MORE zeroed ... for a .22.

Since this was just going on a .22 LR, I didn't want to break the bank with expensive setups, wasn't worried about using the riser with the short attachment...

Was told it lined up with a sig Romeo 5. It does not. If you lower the elevation all the way it will. Directions say it had a riser plate. It does not. The Directions and wrenches that came with it do not match. Product seems pretty sound but will have to see after putting some rounds down range. My last one wouldn't hold up to a 762x39.

Haven't fired with it yet, but it isn't the most impressive thing in world. Mounting was kind of a pain because the fittitngs aren't very forgiving, and there is no riser included.(used in conjunction with vortex sparc ar2) Meaning it can sit higher than your optic. If I cared more I'd findna riser and all that jazz, but youre better off saving for a better magnifier. Decent eye relief and very clear picture. Slightly wobbly so may be prone to movment.

I’ve had mine for more than a few years now and honestly probably the best budget magnifier you can get. I thought for a bit that it wasn’t as good until I upgraded my dot. No more ghost dot after swapping to the holosun. It’s been beat around while at the range and has still held up after probably 2 or 3 k rounds.

Really nice magnifier for the price. The glass is clear, and the flip-to-side mount works smoothly. It lines up well with my red dot and adds just the right amount of zoom for mid-range shooting. Great value if you don’t want to spend a fortune.

I got one of these as an attempt to save a little cash. I put it on one of my favorite rifles a Rock Island Armory TM22. It’s a $300 gun that’s purely for plinking so I didn’t want to shell out money for another Juliet. But I tell you what I love this thing. I paired it with a Holosun 403b and I literally never even had to zero it. I’m hitting 9 out of 10 shots a 100 yards out on the steel gong. Like butter. About to buy another for an AR15 budget build

Excellent product, easy to install on the rail, perfect fit for my Red dot. customer service very helpful with my questions and concerns about delivering to PR. Definitely Opticplanet is one of my favorite online store.

Easy install, works well,magnifies the dot and target at all distances.

Its a clear magnifier and locks closed nice but doesnt lock open i have to flip up my rear sight to keep the magnifier to the side

With the affordability for this magnifier, I am pretty impressed with the overall quality and functionality. It is definitely in line with a lower 1/3 co witness perfectly which I set up at first to pair with my Holosun 503cu. I first tried it with the factory Holosun lower 1/3 mount and and saw it was directly in line with the magnifier. I then put my optic on my Leapers optic riser which brings it just a little bit above lower 1/3 co witness (how I want to run it) and while the optic sits slightly higher than the magnifier, it still does the job without any blur or double vision which I was surprised with. The flip up and down is not too hard like other reviews have mentioned, I prefer the rigidity personally. Eye relief could be an issue as you need to suck into the magnifier a bit to get a clearer sight picture, or run it and your optic further back (closer to you) but then you run into clearance issues with your ambi charging handle and where you prefer your optic which I prefer mine as far forward on the upper as possible. Because I only plan on really utilizing it for longer shots, it certainly will suffice at the price point and the coupons I was able to apply. Have not put live rounds with this but dry fire and hi/low ready snaps so I can't attest to how it operates in the field.
