[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1774452, member: 229"] Most variable-powered scopes don't do a true 1x (unless you get into the really expensive ones) so you won't ever see your irons clearly through the optic. The Millet DMS-1 is a super-heavy bastard (18oz) where as the Primary Arms Micro and Magnifyer combo are a hair under depending on mount. To the OP - depending on which red-dot optic you're talking about (i.e. not an Airsoft red-dot as some of the LED's used in crappy red-dots wash completely out in magnification), yes a magnifier will usually work with it. Some Red-dot optics have threaded eye-pieces and you can thread the magnifier right into it which reduces weight and extra crap on the AR. I personally don't care for flip-to-side mounts. They look cool, but I've yet to own one that actually worked well enough that it justified the cost (that includes the Samson) or the extra hassle. A QD throw-lever mount on the magnifier works well (that's what I've got on my Son's AR - he uses it to plink at longer ranges and to hunt) since the magnifier has no affect on the zero of the actual Red-dot optic.
