Vortex VMX3 flip mount 3x Magnifier

...and customer service doesn't get any better than that, does it?!

Vortex is an awesome company with a great product line for every budget...I now have 3 Vortex optics products...and they'll be my first port of call going forward. Not that I've needed the customer service, but nice to know it's there

So would that magnifier work in a Larue flip to the side mount?

The Vortex VMX3 3x magnifier works with LaRue's LT755-30T fts/pivot mount. The VMX3 has a straight tube which allows it to slide right into the LaRue ring.

I've got a VMX3 3x magnifier mounted his way and it lines up perfectly with my Comp M2 CCO.

Got the LaRue mount in last night. It mounts up easily, is quite heavy duty, and is centered on the EOTech. The set-up with the Vortex VMX3 works great - ready to give it the run down at the range.

Hey dolf,

have you given your 3x VMX3 magnifier a run for it's money yet?

[Rosco Benson]

Yes it can be made to go to the right side as well....

Are you sure about this? The left-side-flip thing is a deal breaker for me.

Going to try to squeez it in this weekend SilentReaper66. Between work, finals for school, and getting the Harley ready for Rolling Thunder, I've been a little short. Time to break out and throw lead!

[SilentReaper66]

I hear ya ... patiently awaiting your review!

I finally got the chance to get out to Quantico this weekend and check out the Vortex VMX3 along with the EOTech. The Vortex is mounted on the LaRue Tactical QD Pivot Mount LT755-30T. All of the optics and mounts worked great together. I mounted the Vortex so it pivots to the ejection port side of the weapon because I like to shoot with both eyes open (right eye dominant), and if I mounted it the opposite way the scope would block some of the view of my left eye. The brass does hit the heavy-duty LaRue mount somewhat when it gets ejected when the scope is swung off to the side, but it wasn’t an issue. I banged the Vortex around a little and it worked great. POI didn’t change when I moved the Vortex back and forth, but I didn’t think it would. The Vortex optics were clear, the mount worked great, and it can be installed and removed very easily. Whether or not it would stand up to the rigors of the Sandbox is for somebody else to answer, but I’m keeping this set-up. It fits my purposes and I saved a few dollars over the EOTech magnifier.
