I used a Vortex 3X with my Aimpoint Pro. I've since sold that AR. My wife's AR 15 has a Burris 3X with the Vortex Sparc AR. The 300 Blackout AR I'm shooting these days, has a variable power scope.
We are not into shooting 300-600 yrds with these rifles. I think the magnifiers are excellent for shots at 100 yrds, and very cost effective.
There are the purists out there, who think magnifiers belong in the junk box. Some are very vocal about that. As to myself, I don't get a kick out of shooting ARs for long distances.
If I do build another AR, it will most likely be an Aimpoint Pro & a magnifier again.
