Product Description

Magnifier and flip mount combo VMX-3T adds a magnifying power of 3X to the red dot sight on your rifle. A push button on the flip mount engages and disengages the mount, which lets you adjust the magnifier to fit any position you want.
Multicoated lenses provide the maximum amount of resolution, light gathering capability, and color accuracy. There are three generous RAM slots on the VMX-3T. With 38mm of eye relief, you get 25 inches of eye relief. The field of view is two feet when viewed from 100 yards away.
You do not have to perform any special sight-in procedures with the VMX-3T. Using the dots centering screws, you can center your red dot image in the field of view of the VMX-3T.
A nitrogen-purged magnifier will make sure that the magnifier is waterproof and fogproof
Lowers a red dot sight's mounting height so they can be mounted at the 1/3 mark or at 100% cowitness, and is the best option for shooters who want to extend the effective range. Included is a Vortex Optics hat, hat color is subject to change.

Questions & Answers

What effect will this have on the cantilevered red dot of the Vortex strikefire II? What's up? Thx?

Vortex Optics VMX-380 can be used for that Designed to work with Vortex Optics Strikefire II Red Dot with Cantilever mount, the 3T Magnifier works with your existing Canon or Nikon kit. When the Cantilever mount is utilized, the system is placed on a slanted surface This is Strikefire. Those in II form a lower 1/3 of the population This witness is 6 feet tall. It is a virtual machine A 3T magnifier includes a baseplate shim that places it at the same location in the lower 1/3 of the lens at when installed This witness is 6 feet tall.

Is this compatible with the Romeo 5 red dot from Sig Sauer?

Yes, that's what I'm using as well

Do you think it's compatible with votex spac II?

It is not necessary to purchase a riser for the Vortex Spac II as it is compatible

The cantilever mount on my strike fire 2 is attached to the strike fire 2. What are the chances of this alignment being even? Do you need to mount it on a riser?

As long as you buy scope caps at the same time as they do not come with magnifiers, this all makes sense.

Selected User Reviews For Vortex Optics VMX-3T Magnifier with Built-in Flip Mount with Vortex Hat

It is a very decent product! I found the optics on this magnifier to be very clear and nice to look at
5/5

Despite being easy to operate with a little practice, I mounted my mount backwards so I can flip right instead of left, and there was no problem. I mounted it behind another Strikefire II, and it lines up great for ABSOLUTE CO-OP. The witness, which can be flipped to allow the use of my flip-up iron sights, can even be flipped to side. In addition, I purchased the Vortex flip-up scope caps for 30mm tubes, which I was able to install with little effort, and they fit perfectly between scopes with about 2 millimeters of clearance. It's a very good scope and mount, and I am very happy with it.

This is a sturdy magnifier, I would recommend it
4/5

This magnifier is difficult to use because you must push a button to activate it. I have read several reviews stating that this magnifier was difficult to use. Perhaps if you have trouble zipping up your pants or turning the knob on the front door, then I can see how you might have difficulty with that. I am convinced that the flip mounting system is not only easy to use, but it also makes a very satisfying "click" when it is in place so that I As a result of the eye relief not being very good, I gave it a four-star review. However, I haven't seen a magnifier with good relief yet, so I knew what I was getting into when I signed up. In my opinion, this magnifier is very good for getting a clear picture and the product is reasonably durable and well built. Secondly, it wasn't a big deal which hat I got with my purchase but I'm posting the picture simply because a lot of people were complaining and leaving a poor review only because they didn't get the hat that is pictured. It is probably just not enough for some people to give away stuff.

The only way to flip is to the Designed with the intention of only flipping to the left, this product does not flip to the right or to the To unlock the hinge, you need to press a large button at the top
3/5

If the device is flipped to the left, the button faces me and my left thumb is very easy to press. As is standard practice, I use my right eye to aim, and flipping it to left blocks my left eye, defeating the whole purpose of having both eyes open at the same time. In the event the switch is flipped to the right, the button will be pointing at the barrel, and there is no natural way to flip quickly. If I practice, I probably could The shell is designed to be ejected to the left in order to avoid any responsibility for shell ejection on the lence (I think).

An inch or less of eye relief is available on the right eye It would be too hazardous to use a rifle for shooting
3/5

This product was returned because the eye relief was significantly too short (less than half of what was advertised). do not know whether this is a defective unit or if it just happens to be like that. As a result of the risk of eye injury from recoil, I would never attempt an attempt this short, using a rifle.

I am extremely disappointed in the first product I have purchased from Vortex
3/5

The Vortex scopes I own are five, and the red dots are three. I think all of these are outstanding! Regardless of how useful this 3x magnifier may seem, it is worthless to me. A person who wants to see through it needs to put their eye within an inch of The idea is not a good one. I won't use it since it is a safety hazard. It has the potential to cause injury to people. I have better ways to spend my time, eyeballs, My hope is that this was an inexplicable whim as I enjoy vortex a lot. I strongly advise you not to buy it.

The EoTech Holo sight comes with the Colt LE6920 mount
5/5

It is great to have this magnifying glass. My EoTech XPS2 is able to complete the job extremely well with it There is a Holo sight in 2. The only complaint I have is that it really loosened up on the rails after a few hundred rounds. In the event of applying some locatives I have not had any problems using the screws that were glued to them. The EoTech magnifier is over twice as expensive, so this is a great magnifier for the budget.

Old eyes can hit steel at 450 yards with these old eyes
5/5

Is exactly what it claims to be. It magnifies my HWS three times, making it possible for me to see and hit targets that I would normally have no chance of hitting because of my aging Other 3X magnifiers are half the price of this one. The glass does not cause a problem. If someone is shining a flashlight directly on you, yes, there may be some glare but the sun has no effect. The weapon has been put through its paces at an outdoor range after hours and I have trained with it in all aspects. Rather than buying two separate covers, I should have purchased a scope coat that is large enough to cover both my HWS and the magnifier. If you want to order a cover, make sure you measure twice!.

GLASS IS GREAT, MAGNIFICATION IS GOOD, AND THE RELIEF TO THE EYES IS GOOD
4/5

It is very clear glass, much clearer than anything else I have employed, and the magnification is good, as well. I have it mounted on a EOTECH 518 and it looks to work very well. My eye relief isn't quite as good as I hoped, but the EOTECH magnifier I tried was even worse than the Vortex. As I believe this is a little better, but not as good as what I wanted, I will use it. EOTECH Halo 518 is my choice because I am able to still use the iron sights on my Colt M4 but because the Vortex has a larger base and wider rail, I have concerns that this will not be possible without modifying the rail. In my opinion, the Vortex is of equal quality or even better than the EOTECH, even if it is more expensive. I would recommend it to friends, but also mention the issue of lack of eye relief when I do.
