Vortex vmx-3t magnifier with flip mount vmx-3t - Vortex VMX-3T Magnifier with Flip Mount

This magnifier was purchased with the Vortex Strike Fire II. As I was very impressed with the Strike Fire I was not so impressed with the Vortex Magnifier for a few reasons. The eye relief is not the greatest and is about 2 inches. When I mounted this on my ar15 upper rail closest to the charging handle I felt as though I had to be on top of the magnifier to see clearly. Matter of fact it was so close I was afraid of getting hit by the recoil. This did not happen but you really have to get close to use this magnifier properly. The mount is built well but there is no adjustment of the magnifier back and forth like there would be in normal scope rings. The magnifier becomes part of the mount when two screws are used to marry them together. Since the eye relief is only 2 inches give or take, I couldn't mount a back up sight towards the rear near the charging handle. Instead, I have to mount a back up sight in front of the magnifier. All in all, this magnifier does what it is supposed to do and is a great price. You can find better but not at this price range. I would definitely recommend this product even with these two issues that I mentioned.
