Review: Wow, this thing makes a big difference in your long range shooting! - I paired this up with my Aimpoint Pro red dot optic sight and I am extremely happy with the result. My results at the range were exceptional and the scope is very good quality. I looked at the Vortex, Aimpoint and Eotech scopes and I checked them out in the gun stores locally to see the quality and the differences. I wanted to see the optical clarity and the eye relief distance and after my research the Vortex won. They were in my opinion all the same quality and the Vortex was 1/3 to ¼ of the price. The Vortex also came with a nicely designed mount that I used on my AR15 but I mounted it in reverse mode so that the scope swings out to the right and out of my left eye vision. Some people complained about the mounting hardware being loose and wobbly and that the way I mounted it was difficult to use. I had none of those problems, the mount is solid and well designed and flipping the scope to the right is simple and easy. I do it one handed and I show it in my video. I mounted it this way so my left eye vision field is clear and it works perfectly in this mode. I used the shim plate that comes with the scope and it worked perfectly. At the range I was shooting 5 shot patterns in the bull's eye with a spread of ¾ of an inch while standing up. The scope does have elevation and windage adjustments on it. It has nothing to do with the accuracy of the scope as the red dot is the accuracy setting. All you are doing is setting the red dot in the center of the scope and making sure that your field of vision down range is centered around the red dot. I used an Aimpoint Pro red dot scope that I own. There is a nut used to tighten the scope onto your rail and the nut is slotted. Do yourself a favor and tighten it by hand and then get a good wrench or socket and tighten it down. Don't use a screw driver and scratch up the mount. Don't crush your rail, but make it tight. After 200 rounds then check it and tighten it again because it can loosen on you from vibration. In my shooting I found that I had a 3 inch+ eye relief that worked well for an AR15. My success at the range was excellent and I had a great time. On the back of the scope is an adjustment to tune the optics to match your vision and that helps to make the target crystal clear and in focus. This is an excellent sight and I recommend it as I rate it at 5 stars. My only complaint with the scope is that it doesn't come with lens caps. I went out and purchased a Butler Creek Size 01 flip up lens cap and it fit perfectly. I cannot believe that Vortex makes lens caps and simply does not include them with the scope when you purchase it. Vortex, raise the price $20 and include the flip up lens caps.
Review: Great magnifier - Works great. I have it for a Vortex UH-1 holographic sight and it lines right up, no drama. Seems very durable, hasn't slipped under recoil and didn't require any adjustment.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Which side does it flip to?**
A: You can have it flip to either side.

**Q: Why can’t you ship to CA?**
A: Shipped to me (in CA) no problem, not a fan of the mount so far despite the great reviews for this product. Its too stiff and the locking mechanism is big and stiff as well, I cannot maintain sightline, and switch to or from side with magnifier - I'm looking at replacing the mount with a Samson mount, fantastic personal reviews and small, spring assisted. looks great.

**Q: will it line up with a eotech 512**
A: The vortex lines up with my eotech well. The biggest difference between the vortex magnifier and the eotech is the picture window. You definitely have a larger viewing window with the eotech. This does not make a lot of difference at 100 yards and for me, the price of the vortex made it a much better buy than spending another 500 on eotech

**Q: Anyone know if this will work with an aimpoint pro optic ???**
A: The Vortex magnifier with the Low swing mount sits approximately 1/8" lower than the PRO. Before an adjustment is made there will be a slight haze at the bottom of the FOV where the magnifier is being intesected by the bottom of the PRO. However, once you adjust the magnifier to center the reticle the sight picture is great!So the answer is yes and no.  You will have to tweak it a bit, or run it 2 picatinny slots back in order to get it to line up good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10
*by C***W on May 11, 2015*

I do love it. It works like it should, and honestly 3x makes the world of a difference. A few years ago I had an emergency where i lost circulation to my left eye, which is my shooting eye. When I close my right eye a big portion of my vision is grey and I am somewhat blind in my left eye. The top left portion of my eye is where I am blind. Normally i wouldn't really be able to see the target fully, and even if I did it was just barely visible. Using this magnifier really highlights the targets and I can see where I am shooting significantly better. The scope is clear, and sharp. Only downside I see is how you have to mount it. I am a lefty shooter so this is perfect for me. But eye relief is pretty poor and you need to be like right up on it to see through it. That means you need your mount set rather far back on the rail and therefore, the mount sorta covers your ability to pull the charging handle on an AR. I like my stock sitting all the way back, I have large arms and this is the most comfortable for me. But the only way to see clearly with the mount set forward enough to actually use the charging handle effectively means setting the stock pretty much all the way forward. If you lean really far up on the gun then this will work for you, but if you put your head where it really should be, then you might need to compromise a few things like how far your stock is pulled out or where the mount is, etc. Overall. YES. this has made shooting for me more fun. I don't see myself going back to standard 1x magnification on my ARs
