Ok, this may be a silly question, but back in my college (read:poor(er) ) days, I had an aimpoint KNOCKOFF 3x magnifier in a cheap twist mount. The optics were about what you would expect, but my biggest problem was eye relief. I had to put my eyeball damn near through the glass to get a full sight picture.

Just wondering what kind of eye relief I can expect with the VMX3 behind a SPARC in a LaRue FTS mount?

Thanks.

Eye relief is one thing was very important in the design of this magnifier. The VMX3 has a full 50mm, so you should be able to comfortably get behind it while maintaining a full field of view.

They should be available in April. They will ship with a fixed ring mount.

You might want to check SWFA. I think they are taking pre-orders on it.

Does the standard mount that comes with it line up correctly for a low-base Eotech? (512)

Thanks.
