Vortex vmx3 with swing mount - Vortex Optics VMX3 Magnifier w/ Swing Mount

As a firearms collector and enthusiast I wanted a a magnifier for my vortex strike fire. The Vortex VMX3 fit well for range and plinking purposes but i wouldnt recomend it for serious self protection usage. It has two main issues that keep it from being a very good alternative to pricier magnifiers. The main issue is the very very short eye relief. The sond issue builds off tthe eye relief. Due to its short nature the magnifier has to be right over your rear buis the rubber covering hits my magpul rear sight when folded down.

While I checked recommend on this it is with a caveat that I recommend it only for plinking or range target shooting.
Pros: low price point lots of extras
Cons: very short eye relief, rubber armoured
