Title: looking for decent red dot with magnifier
Post by: Ivan on April 17, 2013, 10:50:07 PM
 I'm thinking no replica eotech or aim point. Something that will handle recoil. 
Maybe you have a SPARC or strike fire gathering dust in the closet. I'm limited to about 4" of rail space.

I can't justify the 1200$ for an acog.

If you want a real deal magnifier, you are going to have to spend some major dollars. If you have that little rail space, a micro will probably be ideal. Find a decent optic (Bushnell Micro, Aimpoint T-1 or H-1, Eotech XPS, etc.)  then buy the magnifier. Based on their other products that I have experience with, Aimpoint and Eotech would probably be the way to go in terms of magnifiers. For some of the Aimpoints, you are going to have to buy a mount for both the magnifier and the red dot (going to cost more)

My personal choice (if I had the money) would be an Aimpoint T-1 with an Eotech G33. The Eotech magnifiers have an included flip mount and are overall less expensive.

Unfortunately, you might want to contact someone with more experience than myself. I have never owned a magnifier and am basing my statements of what I've read. Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents.

I hope this helped. =)

One of my buddies have the exact same setup, and I personally love it. Yes, it may be on the pricey side, but is it worth it? Yes.

Go with a primary arms magnifier. There about $100 and work great. They put out product on par and some times better than aimpoint and eotech.

I've been also thinking about picking up one of those for my EOtech. How are they?

I have a vortex strikefire but I think I want something even smaller. Keep the overall profile lower

I hear a vortex sparc and a 3x magnifier is the hot ticket.... For AR15
For an AK. Just use 3/4" PVC pipe and you'll have a sweet sniper Bro....
