Sightmark Magnifier LQD Flip to Side Mount

works great behind red dot

This is an excellent product I have it on my scorpion Evo V3 sitting behind a primary arms 1X prism scope I’m getting old in this magnifier makes it so I can see through my prism scope combination is awesome great product at a great price

Its what I would expect for the price. Mechanically it is very sound. Feels good and snug. Snap/cam action is nice and smooth. The quality of the optics seems to be reflected in the price. Primarily the eye relief, and secondarily the clarity. Its not terrible but I wouldn't put this on a premium lead slinger. I moved it from my favorite 5.56 to my plinker 22. The eye relief is really problematic as you need to be so close to it. This is likely an issue with the technology in general though.

I compared the Sightmark T-3 to the Vortex VMX-3, and Sig Sauer Juliet 3. All three magnify as advertised. In terms of clarity, the Sightmark and Vortex were indistinguishable, and were both just a little darker than the Sig. All three seemed equally rugged, but the Sightmark has the smallest overall profile (Sig being the largest). The Sightmark QD mount was convenient to mount and has a very positive flip-away-flip-back locking action - I was equally satisfied with it as with the Sig, but really disappointed with the Vortex’s push-button flip away system. The only area where the Sightmark lagged behind both the Vortex and the Sig was with eye relief which is only slightly shorter than the Vortex - both were shorter than the Sig. All said, between the three, the Sightmark gives you second-place performance with a first-place (by far) price. The Sig was (marginally) the overall best performer but at three-times the price, it was hard to justify. Finally, while I wanted the Vortex to be the winner, at twice the price of the Sightmark, the mounting system and nearly equal performance to the Sightmark made it a very hard sell.

Great product!

This is the third one I bought but from different companies, I was trying to save money but didn't work, the first two were $60 this one is $120 but is worth the money, is clear, easy to install and sturdy, I recommend it.

This is an easy way to get some magnification on your Red Dot for those shots of 25 yards and beyond. This magnifier has a realistic range out to probably 75 yards and 100 yd shooting at minute of Man size targets. If you need more magnification this is a great budget magnifier for the money. I like the way it functions by allowing you to move the magnification out of the way when doing work at the 25 yard range. Eye relief is decent as long as you have enough space on your picatinny rail to properly adjust it and your optic to your liking.

By adding this to my AR pistol with red dot, I can now get 100 yard accuracy when I need it and easily switch back to a fast acquisition red dot by just flipping it out of the way. Very nice.

1) looks like it’s been used with paint chip and scratches 2) does not sit level with red dot sights (mount too tall). Tried a Holosun 512C & a vortex.
