I wish to get a 5x or 6x magnifier for a very specific use case, namely for zeroing my red dot sights at 50m.
I have two Aimpoint 3x’s for my CompM5’s and a G43 for my Eotech. They’re both great magnifiers but they don’t give me the level of clarity on a 50m zero target that I need (not the magnifiers’ fault). I of course have used both of the 3x’s to do this but given an old injury to my dominant eye, zeroing takes more time and ammunition than it should.
While reviews for the Aimpoint 3x are stellar (and I concur), reviews for the 6x seem to be universally luke warm. With the G45, reviewers seem to love it or hate it.
Questions:
1. Which would you choose of those presented in my post?
2. If you recommend neither, which other magnifier might you suggest? I see reviewers complain that the Vortex 6x loses its center with respect to the magnified red dot sight each time the flip mount is used.
Many Thanks!
