Sightmark Magnifier LQD Flip to Side Mount

Great product and company support. This magnifier does what I expect and lines up great with all of my reflex sights. It’s just as good as my other magnifiers. And this is setup on a real rifle.

Works very well!

I really like this magnifier because of the eye relief that it has, the quick push to the side without the button is what I was looking for in a magnifier at a good price range it was packaged good but when I opened it up there was damage to the bag it was in but I didn't not see damage on the magnifier not even a chipping on it.. but other then that I like it and I may end up getting the 5x also just because.. Thanks sightmark for the 3x Magnifier.. ✊️✊️

works great behind red dot

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.

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.

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.

Great product!

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.
