3x Magnifier For RDS - One Better Than The Other?

[kingdarb]

Hey ladies and gents,

I have a aimpoint comp m4 on my AR with the QRP2 mount. I am thinking of picking up a 3x magnifier for it with a swing mount. That said, is one magnifier really much better than another, or are they created equal? Options that I have been looking at are the eotech, aimpoint and vortex offerings.

Thanks in advance.

I see people using cheap 80$ Chinese magnifiers with their expensive holo sights -> they seem happy. All it does is magnify

The ones sold by primary arms are a good example: https://www.primaryarms.com/Red_Dot_Magnifiers_s/432.htm

I was trying to find these in Canada but no luck, may need to go direct to the Chinese sellers. They even have EOTech branded ones

As an example, this one is 42$:

I've used an Eotech one with a flip to the side mount and tried a vortex swing mount. I didn't notice much of a difference in clarity they were both really clear but both had crappy eye relief, you could get used to it but awkward at first. Personally I would go with the eotech side flip. I just liked that system better and felt way more sturdy. Plus the side flip survived 9 months overseas and had the piss beaten out if it, with no issues.
