UTG red dot and magnifier....opinions?

[TylorR]

So the eye relief on this one wont allow you to keep an MBUS on the rail?

i have the 3.8" version of this red dot and love it. the eye relief is great and i dont see why it would not allow you to use MBUS. as far as adding the magnifier, that would cause your MBUS to be out of focus unless it was flipped to the side.

I was planning on doing just that (or quick disconnect) if the reflex sight dies, I'd be able to flip the magnifier out or remove and still shoot with the mbus

Hi all, new here. I was just wondering if there's any update from PATracker with range update. I'm looking at getting this exact setup. Has the flip to side mount gotten any easier?

I guess I don't understand, if you going to get a magnifier for the red dot why not just get a 4x scope ??

Welcome to the forums, I am new as well and asking lots of questions, lol. The member here are awesome with their help and advice.

Thanks for the welcome sir! Speaking for myself the magnifier is nice to have when needed with the red dot vs a scope that is *always* on. Could use a QD for both and just swap em out as needed but this setup seems more convenient.

I have a 200 lumen flashlight with QD mount. Very pleased with their merchandise. Quality, well made.

my utg red dot came with a low and high mount. you can try finding a higher mount or just buy a riser to mount your current one on. i have a utg 1" high riser for sale cheap if you're interested.

Sorry guys haven't been on the forums in a while.......

Yes this setup is holding up great I'm very happy with it.

Someone asked, why a magnifier and not just a 4x scope?
For me I like to shoot close up and from further back (100 yds), plus I'm used to more precision shooting and even though I can hit my spinners from a distance with just the red dot it feels right to me to use the extra magnification to see and hit right where I'm aiming.

Also the magnifier comes with a quick detach mount so it pops off and on in seconds.
