I agree with MW, a magnifier is not worth the extra bulk and weight. I'm using a trijicon accupoint tr24-3g on my m&p10. I mounted it in a bobro qd mount so i can switch it back and forth from my moe mid to the 10 without losing my zero. By far the best optic I've ever owned. Aimpoints are great optics,I just prefer a little magnification out past 100yd. A 1-4x scope is the best all round optic for the ar platform in my opinion. Good luck on your optics hunt.
