Magnifiers
I'm thinking of putting a magnifier behind my Pro. I have it on my Sport. Just curious if I could keep my buis. I don't want the Pro to move up off the receiver.
Any thoughts? Suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Thank you.

If you're thinking of using a tip off mount, you can fold the BUS down, allowing the magnifier to set over the top. When you want the BUS up, you can tip the magnifier off to the side. I may have a picture some where.

Thank you Gunny. I guess I would need a cantilever mount. I love my Pro, I need to keep it on the receiver for accuracy.
I was hoping to have all three on the receiver only.
By the way, does the magnifier help? Just saying I have old eyes, 200 yard shots are tougher for me. But I do not want a scope.

I believe I invented "Old" eyes, mine are terrible. That said, I actually sold mine as it didn't make a significant enough difference to justify the extra stuff on the top of the receiver. I find I do just fine with a good red dot, but if I'm looking for real precise shots, I'll have to move to a regular scope.

Thank you Sir. That was what I was afraid of. My Pro is outstanding 50 to 100 yards. I don't want to give it up for an occasional one time 200 yard shot.

I tried a Aimpoint magnifier and finally sold it. Still use the PRO. I would get a dedicated magnified optic and return to zero base for distant shooting.

I guess I can't have the best of both worlds!
Thanks!

I've only tried a few magnifiers and maybe my eyes are bad, but I find the loss of image brightness to bother me too much. If I were to put an optic on my AR, I think a 1-4x scope, maybe illuminated, would be ideal for me.
