Keeps Getting Better
Everytime vortex updates a product, it goes from a good value to a great value.
I had their VMX magnifier and for the money, it was nice. I just wasn't a big fan of the setup especially with a simple dot reticle in my optic.
Now that I am running a couple complex reticle red dots (circle dots, ballistic circle dots, acss) I wanted to try a magnifier again.
2.6 inches of relief is tight but it is definitely better than any other magnifier i have used. I am running buis less and less as the quality of optics and my typical usage makes them unnecessary so I the placement of this magnifier doesnt bother me.
Compact design, solid mount with positive engagement for both closed and open positions.
Time will tell if I keep this setup but it is noticeably better than the last time i tried it out and it has more potential thanks to the reticle options for red dots these days.

Great magnifier
Very quick on and off- small footprint on rail, and handy lever to quickly move out of the way. Let’s light in well, even directly behind a reflex sight, and very clear for the price. Even comes with an ok bikini-style lens cap. I’ve been using with the Razor UH1, and getting very good results out t...

Optic is good, mount sucks, poor eye relief
I have this set up behind a Holosun H503C, which looks great magnified by the way. The glass is very clear. The optic itself is small and light. The focal adjustment has a decent range to it (enough for my crappy eyes). The centering adjustment was good enough for me. I can say nothing bad about the...

Perfect for my AR
This is a great magnifier. Install with a asevamd pairs well with my vortex crossfire I.
Would recommend: Yes
very clear and wizard eye relief
I am pairing it with a Eotech XPS3. Not only it works fine and the lens is very clear. But it works fine where I have to mount the two about 4” apart on a KP50 because of where the ejection port is. I’ve not seen people mount them that far away before but am just happy it works fine.
Would recommend: Yes
Great Quality and Clear Optics!
Really happy with my Vortex red dot and Micro Magnifier. Both feel solid and well-made, and you can tell the quality is there. The glass is super clear, and everything looks sharp through the magnifier. I’m impressed with how good they look and feel. Definitely happy with my purchase and would recommend them!

Magnifier for AR red dot
Really clean and efficient piece of equipment. Price was at a threshold level I couldn't say no.
Pros:
- Price
Cons:
- None
Would recommend: Yes
Objectives met with accepted comprimises
It's my 1st magnifier, it works well to do what it does. It does work with a PA 1x prism, adjusting the diopter on both gave a clear view of the reticle and distant objects. It makes the chevron bigger, IMO allowing much more accurate aiming precision. Glass is crystal clear. The flip mount is solid and feels sturdy.
Comprimises:
The eye relief is short, I put it on the furthest back pic slot. You will need to adjust your stock at least 1 step closer and crane your head forward.
The QD lever will leave only a finger width to engage the charging handle at that slot, putting the mount backwards solves this but obscures 2-eyes open aiming as a righty when flipped to the left.
Conclusion IMO:
On an 11.5, wanting a quick aiming red dot or prism, this gives a solution to shooting out at distance. I like LPVOs and for about the same price of the PA 1x slx+magnifier, Vortex's Venom 1-6 w/piggyback Venom red dot may be a better overall pkg but adds about 10oz more weight. I have this on a 12.5 and it works well for me.

Magnifier for my Vortex Red Dot
I was running a Leupold LPVO and wanted to try out a red dot. Being on a budget I purchased a Vortex red dot and was pleased with the ease of use. It was a better set up, for me, for home defense and short to mid range shooting. I wanted to pair my RD with a magnifier and opted for the Vortex 3X. They paired nicely and now am able to reach out a little farther when needed.
Pros:
- Great price point, easy installation and set up
Cons:
- Short eye relief (to be expected)
Best Used for:
- Home defense, short to mid ramge
Would recommend: Yes
