Overview
The Micro6X Magnifier is designed to extend the usefulness of a red dot or holographic sight when you want added magnification without changing your optic setup. Its quick-release lever and cam-lock system are built for fast attachment and removal, while the flip mount can be configured for right- or left-handed use. It can be mounted at absolute co-witness or lower 1/3 co-witness height, giving you flexibility in how it sits behind your sight. This model is not compatible with prism scopes, so it is best suited to shooters already running a red dot or holographic platform.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for red dot and holographic sights only; it will not work with prism scopes.
- Co-witness setup is user-selectable, but you’ll need to choose between absolute co-witness and lower 1/3 co-witness based on your sighting preference.
- The flip mount is adjustable for right- or left-handed use, which adds flexibility but also means setup depends on how you want the magnifier positioned.
- The quick-release lever and cam-lock are built for fast attach/detach, so this is a magnifier for users who want easy on/off use rather than a fixed setup.
