Anyone running an Aimpoint 3X magnifier w/their red dot? If so how's it working out for you?
I've been considering getting a magnifier for mine, but before I jumped into the Aimpoint, I was considering the Primary Arms in something solid like a LaRue mount. Primary Arms makes a 4x and a 5x (I'm thinking of the 5x). I've got a real Comp ML3 in a LaRue cantilever mount, but I'm not sure if I'll be happy with a magnifier or if I should just look at a LaRue QD mount and some etched glass like a Leupold Shotgun or Scout scope - that away, I could switch back and forth to the Aimpoint and have the benefit of a 3x9 scope in a nice quickly changeable mount (for about the same price as the real Aimpoint magnifier).
I spent the money on a GREAT red dot (aimpoint ML3) and eventually felt the need to buy a magnifier. I went with the Primary Arms 5X and I have been very pleased with it. I dont know how it compares with the Aimpoint magnifier, but I dont see how it could be 300 bucks better than what I got with the Primary Arms magnifier.
I have mine mounted with the Larue Flip mount. THis way, I can easily move the magnifer out of the way. It works great.

yeah, I have an ML3 in a Larue QD mount and I've been thinking about if I should go the magnifier way or just a scope of some sort. Decisions, decisions.
I'm considering a PA 3x... I can't justify the need for a 5x..
Aimpoint ML3 with a Aimpoint 3X on a Samson flip mount and would do it again without question.
Just out of curiosity, what do you use the rifle for?
Nothing farther than 300 yards. Figure 1X for every 100 yards
I've seen ACOG's go for cheaper on arfcom than mag3x and aimpoint. Just an idea. I do have an ACOG and several Aimpoint M4's but I have also been looking for the magnifier for one of the aimpoints. Haven't heard of the Primary Arms, is that a knockoff?
