Vortex everything - Vortex VMX-3T Magnifier with Flip Mount

I've been raised as a Trijicon and EOTech guy from the start, and while those products and others are all great, Vortex is the way to go. While they may not be made in America, they are designed here, the product quality is several tiers higher than what you pay for, and the warranty is second to none. This magnifier is built very robust, can flip either way, and the glass clarity/quality is excellent, including the focus. I have this mounted with a StrikeFire II on my IWI Tavor, and I absolutely love it. Is the glass the utmost, pure, Swarovski quality? No. Is battle tested and currently being used by Special Forces in critical mission platforms? No. Are you a Special Forces commando that frequently deploys out of a submarine torpedo tube, and proceeds to low crawl through a swamp, while killing alligators with your glare? Probably not. For $180, when you catch this on sale, you cannot beat the deal, especially with the warranty. When compared to the EOTech 3x magnifier which is $300+ more in price, I can't even fathom how I debated on buying Vortex over EOTech. Every single optic I buy from here on out will be Vortex, what are you waiting for?! Buy it!
