Why no truly long eye relief red dot magnifiers?

Like scout scope level eye relief to mount in front of the dot instead of behind?

The only real complaint I can think of with scout scopes is light source behind the shooter can turn the ocular lens in to a mirror, but the dot would seem to negate that.

To my way of thinking, the magnified image coupled with the relatively fine aiming point (2moa common) would seem to be a slick combination for distant &/or small targets. Also figuring their is some sort of technical reason this is a non-starter, but haven't came up with a search query so far explaining why it isn't feasible.

My primary arms advanced 3x magnifier has about the same eye relief as my tr24. I mount both rifles the same with same stock length ect...

Not meaning getting magnifiers up from their common 2" eye relief to 3"+ like most scopes, but 6" or more like a scout or pistol scope to allow mounting forward of the red dot. Would seem to have some advantages.

Yeah I misunderstood your question. I would bet that it is because 99 percent of the time they are mounted on an AR near the rear of the receiver behind the red dot. Just not a market for it if it's possible technically speaking.
