VORTEX MICRO 3X MAGNIFIER UPGRADE

Overall, it’s a fantastic budget option (pretty hard to upgrade out of). It brings a great field of view and feels pretty light at 7.9-ounces. On top of it all, the PA 3x proves to be a good magnifier. So you get a lot of options depending on what you want to spend. Many of the aftermarket options that fit the Aimpoint will also fit the Primary Arms options. No mount means you save some money on something you don’t want and can, instead, grab one you do want. Though it might not seem like it, the lack of a mount is a blessing in disguise. Total package is still cheap, but this mount is…okay. But it doesn’t come with a mount, so I used the Primary Arms Flip to Side priced at $50. PA 3x LERĪt only $100, Primary Arms comes in cheap. LER stands for Long Eye Relief and it’s true, the PA 3x has a lot of freedom - mostly because it’s very long.įor someone like me with a really long length of pull, I dig it a lot. It’s a good choice if you’re already a Vortex fan, but I don’t think it wins any prizes either. It’s not the worst, but it’s not great either.īottom line, it’s average. Plus, I really dislike the push button style of mount. Glass clarity was on par, price is average, weight is a little heavy, eye relief is average, field of view is good but only by a foot, and there was no IP rating. Vortex 3x VMX-3Tĭon’t get me wrong, the Vortex is still a great unit, but it didn’t stand out. Outside of that, it felt a little dated.Īnd that’s not surprising since it’s been around quite a while now. I think the part I like best about the Vortex is that the Vortex warranty always has my back.

Feel free to zoom in or open in a new tab, as the source image is decently large. To help you get a better idea of how the magnifiers we tested stacked up against one another, we took some pictures.

That said, it is the easiest to see for me and green has a lot of biological advantages. If you have it turned up all the way and throw a 6x on it, it’s hurts. Second, green magnified is HARSH on your eyes. First off, every single one I’ve tried tear dropped the dot a little. But they can be a little strange with magnifiers. It’s science stuff but practically speaking, it’s not a huge difference. Technically, holographic sights are a little finer since their emitter is smaller…kind of. Really, there’s not much difference between them. With that out of the way, let’s talk about red dots versus holographic. If your 2 MOA dot is covering their nipple at 100-yards, it will cover their nipple and no more at 400-yards. Magnifiers magnify the dot and the target. The claim is that a 2 MOA dot will cover 2-inches at 100-yards, 4-inches at 200-yards, etc.īut this is totally and completely false. This is a piece of lore that just won’t die. While, on their own, they are good it’s really together that matters.Īlso worth mentioning, red dots DO NOT increase in size with a magnifier. If you don’t already have a sight to pair your magnifier with, you should view them as a pair.
