Red Dot Optic and Magnifier Comparison

Thu Feb 19 2009
We had a chance to photograph some various optic and magnifier combos on a flat top AR15 rifles. Some of these options are not so great others are very close to the ideal arrangement, you be the judge. Here are some photographs of the combinations we were able to put together while testing.

Would you like the small pictures to get larger?
Let us know, use the feedback form to request larger pictures.

It's a lot more work to load all the large pictures.
We are happy to do it if they are requested, but if not we leave them small to save time
