I have been throwing around the idea of getting the 3x Mmagnifier for my aimpoint but I am not sure if I want to spend the cash. I do a little 3-gun shooting with it which would help, and a little coyote hunting which would also help. Does anyone have one who can tell me if they like it? Does it make much difference? |

Its a compromise either way you look at it. Its not a magnified "scope", but its also not a restricted as something like an ACOG. I had one for a while, and decided, I have no reason to compromise. I have a carbine with a "dot" optic, and another upper with a magnified optic. There is no "mystery" in my daily missions - when I head to the range I know which optic I'll need. For what you describe, you're better off with a dot for 3 gun, and a real scope for yotes. |
| I have one and plan on keeping it. Is it the best solution? That depends on how you plan on using it. I have an M3 and an EOTech 553 that I mainly use by themselves. If I suddenly need to add magnification the 3x works well. If I was mainly shooting 200+ yards then I'd get a magnified scope, probably the Trijicon Accupoint. If you mainly shoot at less than 100 yards then what's the need. Your choice. |

+1 Get the Larue mounts and switch out your optics as needed with no loss of zero. Or use this as an excuse to get another upper, with a second optic, which will then spawn another lower and leave you with 2 rifles.......
