Sight Magnifiers
A sight magnifier is an optical device that is designed to magnify the image obtained through the sighting device. Such a gun magnifier is installed directly in front of a red dot sight, as a result of which the shooter has an enlarged image of the target.
The average magnification of red dot magnifiers is not big, it is approximately from 3x to 5x. The 10x red dot magnifier is a device with the highest magnification on the market. A red dot magnifier is not a sight, since it does not have a reticle.
The magnifier for red dot allows shooters to have the best of both worlds: a 1x red dot scope and a low-power rifle scope in one. Most sight magnifiers attach in front of your chosen red dot scope, and they flip out of the way when you don't need added magnification. Better yet, you get precision windage and elevation adjustments just like any rifle scope. For a lightweight option, you can also get threaded sight magnifiers that attach directly to select red dot sights.
The potential buyers of the red dot with magnifier are fans of military sports and tactical games with weapons. The combination of the red dot and magnifier will also be useful for small game hunters. In order to make a more accurate shot, you can always install a magnifier. The 3x magnifier for red dot is suitable for distances up to 350 meters or more.
