I have spoken to quite a few viewers about this topic and was a bit taken back on the miss information some people have had about this. \u00a0Some of this may be information from the manufacturer’s themselves. \u00a0For example, if you bought an Eotech Red Dot, they don’t want you buying a competing 3x Magnifier from Aimpoint and the same goes with buying an Aimpoint Red Dot and pairing it up with an Eotech Magnifier. \u00a0So I felt it was best to both discuss and illustrate this in a video cast to help everyone understand this since I can’t recall anyone talking about this topic.<\/p>\n
Everyone who has a Red Dot will eventually grow into the need\/desire of having a 3x Magnifier to pair up with it, so they can really zoom into the target. First thing I want to make sure I clarify is that I don’t want to argue over the need of a magnifier with my viewers. \u00a0Yes, you can hit a target with irons at a few hundred yards without magnification. \u00a0I am not here to argue that. \u00a0Many people have had to do this in the military to qualify for certain marksmanship levels. The best way I have at making this point is if you had to dig a 3 feet hole through limestone and someone handed you a shovel or a jackhammer, which would you pick? \u00a0That is pretty much my same opinion when it comes to magnified or not magnified at 100 yards+.<\/p>\n
Both companies provide exceptional magnifiers, but they do have two different schools of thoughts. Depending on where your mindset is, I encourage you to consider which one you want carefully (since either option still costs a pretty penny). So let’s first break down the differences between the two:<\/p>\n
