The construction of this is pretty rugged and it adds some heft, to your rifle. The glass is clear and the adjustments are easy to use. It lines up almost perfectly, with my Eotech 512. The only thing I can say that's a con, is the eye relief. You have to be pretty close to this thing, to get a perfect view. I would rate it a four and a half but that wasn't an option. I would give it a definite thumbs up.

I bought this to work with a UTG "T"dot scope. The bases of both were too long to sit on the rail in close proximity to each other. Had to machine one down so they could sit close the way they are intended. They do not line up properly center line to center line even though they are mounted on the same monolithic rail section. The eye relief is ridiculously short at the diopter. My length of pull is right at 13" I was forced to move my head awkwardly almost 4" forward just to fill the lens field of view. That placed my eye in serious bite zone! When flipped to the side it hit the rifles charging handle. It also would not clear the UTG flip up BUIS which I had to move to in front of the "T" dot. E&D/R&D really missed the mark (no pun intended), on the continuity of design and function with this series of optic accessories. Your price point is fair but without continuity within paired devices there is no quantifiable value. They are all supposed to work together. I have issue with the other items (T-dot & BUIS set) but this review is about the magnifier. I like the diversity of the whole UTG line, but they have to work... without that we can never get to durability.Read full review

Good magnifier at a fair price. It sits a bit higher than my eotech, vortex magnifier, roughly a half inch higher than my vortex spark 2 red dot, but is still functional. The swing arm is stiff but that is a good thing as it will not wobble around on you losing it's zero. I only wish it came with optional height adjustments because it looks goofy sitting so much higher than the red dot sights which are already mounted on their tallest co witness bases. It does allow space for back up rear flip up sight, but you must adjust cylinder style red dot mounting just behind where the upper meets the lower to do so and/or the larger lens of the magnifier tends to blurr and fish eye if it's mounted too close the red dot. I currently have five different red dot magnifiers and always go back to my eotech g33 as it was designed too be lighter, clearer and just all around less finicky but you'll pay for that. All In all it works well and is built to take a beating and still be reliable that in it self is worth the moneyRead full review

With a magnifier as long as it's waterproof fogproof and shockproof that's pretty much all you need. This little guy fits a hair higher than my vortex crossfire but it's not noticable when aiming down the sight. Whoever is saying the eye relief is bad must not know what bad eye relief really is. I'm able to see my dot on target perfectly even if I don't have a good cheek weld. It is wonky that you have to disengage it before you flip it off or on, but after 5 min of practicing it, becomes second nature , and even though in hand it feels hefty it doesn't seem to shift the weight of the gun much, least to me, if your looking for a magnifier on a budget, I think this will fit the bill. Giving it 4 and not 5 because I havnt taken it to the bush yet, just to the range

The first thing to note about this magnifier is that the eye relief sucks. I’d say about 1.5-2 inches. It will still get the job done but I would recommend it for airsoft or a .223. Other than that, the build quality and glass clarity are very surprising. It is super tough and the glass is crystal clear. I’m not a huge fan of the mount’s lockup mechanism but it’s very strong and not going anywhere. One last thing to note is that this sits at a lower 1/3 cowitness hight so I had to buy a new mount since the sig romeo 5 comes with an absolute cowitness mount.
