Advanced Features
The adjustable Diopter allows you to customize the focus to your particular vision. The diopter ensures a clean aiming dot with a high level of accuracy for target placement. To adjust the diopter, with your thumb and fore finger turn the end in either direction until the sight picture is clear. A recommendation is after re-zeroing the sight the reticle image should be re-positioned to the center of the window.
Clarity
You get amazing results and will have the confidence of identifying your target with all of the features of this magnifier. The outlines of targets are able to be seen at up to 100 yards out with most standard sights. Placing the EOTech Magnifier to the upright position, the details of the target will be more identifiable. Details of a type of weapon they might be carrying, clothing details that you could not see with just a sight. With 3x magnification you can easily extend your shot out to 300 yards. The EOTech is a great addition to any weapon for recon purposes.
Primary Use
There is no limit to who can use this magnifier. Adding a magnifier to a holographic sight gives the shooter the clear advantage in close and long range situations. Used and trusted by law enforcement, military and civilians for a reason, it makes the difference. This magnifier flips away to give you a close range, wide view of the surroundings. Flip it back into place for those long range precision shot situations. To give an example, when using a non-magnified sight during a close quarter combat and the suspect starts to move. You can flip the EOTech Magnifier into place to extend your view in a matter of seconds. EOTech is known for their mil-spec standards, giving you the best of both worlds with fast target acquisition and pin point accuracy.
This can be used for hunters that need long range clarity while having the ability to quietly flip the magnifier into place when needed and not alert your prey. The ability to move it with one hand and not having to push extra buttons allowing for less movement. This is a great way to step up your game out on the target range. Set up your target up to desired distance and place a detailed center on them to see what kind of groupings you get. You will be impressed and have fun doing it. Most new users said they could not believe the results and had to test it several times to be sure they were seeing it right.
Durability
The box it comes in is just a durable for storage and transport of the magnifier if you do not leave it on the gun. The box is waterproof with custom cutouts made of foam which makes it virtually shockproof. The Eotech Magnifier with years of use will perform just like it did the first time you took it out of the box.
The military was interested in the EOTech from the beginning due results and the durable high grade materials used. Having passed the demanding tests of the military for the rugged, versatile and accuracy at the same time being easy to use. Law enforcement and tactical teams quickly picked this magnifier up for their teams best performance.
Mounting
The mount can be adjusted if needed for proper fit. Remove the magnifier and leave the quick detach lever open while turning the unit upside down. To loosen turn the adjustment counterclockwise and turn clockwise to tighten. Re-mount to the rail and continue until the desired fit is achieved.
The optic unit comes with a 7mm riser that can be used for height alignment with your sight. If the spacer is being use, place the spacer on the mounting interface and open the STS mount. Positions the mount on the riser (if using ) and the interface for either right or left opening (whatever your preference is). Use the long screws it using the riser and the short screws are without the riser. A recommendation is to apply Loctite or similar product on each screw for added stability. After time recoil, even minimal will loosen screws over time.
I know it seems pretty simplified, that is the best part it really is that simple. Once mounted you are going to want to put it to the test. Don't be afraid to slap it to the side at the range and flip it back to get the feel of it. No need to be gentle with this part as it is designed to be durable and take on what you give it. Users can not believe how easy it is to install and use yet is such a valuable piece to enhance your rifle.
