Sightmark 5x - Sightmark 5xTactical Magnifier

I purchased the sightmark 5x tactical magnifier about a month ago, and put it behind a vortex strikefire II red dot. It has a pretty clear sight picture, and I like the fact that I can center the dot using the allen screws. The Slide to side feature is pretty neat, however if you are sliding it to the right on a AR15, the empty brass leaving the gun will hit it, and damage your brass at the neck. I then switched it to the left side of the gun, and now if I have it slid to the side, I cant get to the charging handle very well. When it is on the left side, i can drop my head down to quickly see through the magnifier, the look back up quickly to use the red dot. There is a slight flare from the red dot, but not too bad.

Positioning on the gun has to be almost locked in, as the eye relief is only about 1.5". That being said, i was able to ragged hole a four shot group at 50 yards with a red dot!!! When engaged, the mount is very solid, and locks into place, but can be easily slid out of the way, and the quick detach lever makes removing it very easy. All in all, it is a good product for the money, and I will be keeping the magnifier for my wifes new gun.
