Let’s get right into Magnifier 101. If you’ve ever wondered what a magnifier is, why you’d use one, or how to set one up on your rifle, you’re in the right place!
What is a Magnifier?
Great question! A magnifier is essentially a tube with lenses that—surprise—magnifies things. Think of those old movies with the captain pulling out a spyglass to see distant ships. Same idea here! But, instead of scouting the horizon for pirates, you’re using it to magnify your target downrange while retaining the benefits of your EOTECH holographic weapon sight (HWS). With a magnifier, you can see more clearly at a distance, which can help you take more precise shots.
Why Use a Magnifier?
There’s always a debate between using a low power variable optic (LPVO) or a magnifier. Both have their place, but magnifiers offer a unique solution. Here’s the deal: magnifiers
We're comparing two of our most popular optics setups: the holographic + magnifier hybrid system and the Vudu 1-6x LPVO. Both setups offer incredible performance, but they cater to slightly different shooting styles and scenarios. So, let’s break them down and help you figure out which one might be best for you.
The Hybrid Setup: EOTECH HWS + 3X Magnifier
First up is the hybrid setup—our classic EOTECH EXPS3 Holographic Sight paired with a 3X magnifier. This system is all about versatility, giving you the ability to run a 1x holographic sight for close-quarters engagements while flipping in the magnifier when you need extra reach for target identification or longer shots.
