Looks small, compact, and hits all my buttons.

Before everyone starts posting that it's too expensive because they read the MSRP price on the website and never looked anywhere else, it's $299 in stores.

With mount too. I am going to get this mag as soon as I can. For now, I got to buy a house first. And then a KRG chassis for my CZ455 LOL

Significantly lighter and an inch shorter than the G33, interesting.

It looks fine, but for $450 is a hard pass for a hobby grade. Plus a non-adjustable height is a big downside. People running lower 1/3 and 1.93 mounts are out of luck.

You can find a combat proven brand new Eotech G33 for that much.

The website says it may introduce parallax. How’s it compare to the legacy 3x on that front, and in eye relief? Also, what about those of us running lower third and 1.93 mounts?

Edit: website specs show slightly longer eye relief.

The Huey and Crossfire both have lower 1/3 mounts so my guess is that’s what it is designed to be used with. Their stated eye relief is longer that both their earlier magnifier and the G33.

This looks really nice. I'm anxious to try one. It will match nicely with a micro red dot.

This can be used at absolute or lower 1/3 co-witness heights with the addition or subtraction of the included riser shim.
