      Minimal eye relief doesn't really lend itself to being put on rifles with more capability at longer distances where more magnification would be more helpful, because recoil.

    Just bought one from Midway, a blem for decent price.
    I did what you're not supposed to do and put it in front of a 1x prism. It does work, but you actually have to zero it also and no clicks makes that difficult.
    I also flipped it to the side and at 50y it still seemed zeroed. Took it completely off and put it back and same thing.
    Didn't have time to shoot at 100, but will soon to see what happens.

  • @paulyp9853
    @paulyp9853 11 месяцев назад +2

    There seems to be some acceptable compromises simply because its Trijicon. Fish-eye, and movement in the dipoter would be deal breakers in some instances, but Trijicon did it and charged more for it.
    Having a sample size of one is every review, isnt it?
    For $40 more than the Trijicon you can get a G33 (without a mount - I have a Unity FTC), and have a great product. Primary Arms use the SAVE12 code . Or spend another $160 to get it with the mount with the code.
    The other route is to go with Holosun or the Vortex Micro 3x. My opinion the Vortex 3x is a very good magnifier.

    • @GoatDR

      Fish eye -
      Adjustments dont detent well
      Slop in the dipoter
      The Holosun looked better and $200 less but still went Trijicon because of the name and reputation instead of the actual review on hope that the Trijicon would be ok.
      So for twice the price go with the higher priced item and hope its better.
      I have the G33 and got it less than $400 without a mount because I use the FTC mounts on my magnifiers.
      Also the G33 can be had with the mount for $439 as I type this at Eurooptic on sale.
      That makes it a no brainer

    My Trijicon 3x magnifier says 'Made in China' on the bottom. And yes I contacted Trijicon to confirm that it wasn't a fake or something. It works just fine but I'm not convinced that it's actually any different than the other Made in China 3x micro magnifiers. The image quality does look noticeably better than the Hm3xT in the video though so maybe I'm wrong.

    "I guess most companies just find something that works, and use it."
    I'm convinced all the rock-in magnifiers are the same OEM. It's probably ALL Chinese as well. Maximum profits that way. Makes me doubt the efficacy of buying an EOTECH magnifier for my EXPS. Would love to have one as the glass quality does seem marginally better than most, but then the Vortex 3X micro is also quite good and MUCH cheaper. You just can't get it in brown (I don't think you can, at least).
    Also... I found myself somehow mysteriously unsubscribed from your channel as of this video.

    Contrary to popular belief, you do have to zero your magnifier. Centering the magnifier initially will get you very close, but you have to fine tune it after. I zero the red dot first at 50 yards and they put the magnifier and zero that.
