How EO clones line up with magnifers
 
Many people have asked me this question. So I set them up and tried.

551(552), 3x , line up , reticle centered

551(552), 4x , line up with the riser, reticle centered

Since I ran out 553, 557, I will try them in about 2 weeks when my new shipment comes in.

Thanks Huang! I've always wanted to know this and hope to buy a set (Eotech, riser if needed, magnifier) soon. Waiting your results on the 553, 557. Is the other magnifier model about the same as the other 3x?

What magnifier is this strange looking model in your store picture?

Which magnifier, in your opinion, has the best eye relief?

I've got a 552, a 3X magnifier and a FTS mount:

It doesn't line up perfectly because there's a slight (albeit present) wobble in the mount itself. I can place it perfectly, but if I flip it it out then flip-it in it won't be aligned.

Not a huge deal at airsoft ranges for a man-sized target, but for target shooting or head shooting, it can be bothering.

Upping a slightly older thread, but how does the 557 line up with the magnifiers?
Huang, did you get a chance to test these yet?

557 should co witness correctly due to the eotech being slight raised

New EO 3x, line up with 551,552 with the riser

So that would mean the 553/557 lines up without the riser?

I don't have 553, 557 in stock to test, but I believe so.

Don't know if it's just me, but my 3x magnifier with FTS mount and 552 line up perfectly without a riser - the sight is right in the middle when I'm looking through the magnifier.

And I got both mounts from you; the exact ones you have in that image.

I have both sights mounted really close to each other in this particular pic, but it seems to work either way.

Has anyone tried using a 553 with an 3x magnifier?

EggChen January 2nd, 2010 03:38

Is there going to be a new EO 4X magnifier in addition to the new 3X magnifier? Any news on a clone? My exisiting 4X mag lines up nice with the 552 I bought from you...
