Fearless-Jeweler-318@reddit
I pieced the two together instead of the combo and it ended up being 230 with shipping, I'm sure its probably closer to 260 after psa's deranged shipping prices and sales tax if it applies in your state
HobbyBlobbyy@reddit
Dawg their shipping is very on par if not slightly below most vendors. I got this combo and the shipping was $10 UPS ground. plus tax it was 255 total.
That 3x scope alone is 199 on Amazon.... Where are you finding this combo cheaper?

Update. I’ve had this set up a week now and it’s great. Red dot is very clear and easy to acquire. Magnifier works well and flips away easily to transition from close shots to distance. Wasn’t sure how I would acclimate to this but it’s easy to use.

Are magnifiers popular to use with a dot? I like this deal but curious about the setup.
librarian45@reddit
Honestly they suck but it is what it is. If you have a pack and can keep the magnifier in there and add it when you think you might need it, cool. On there 100% of the time sucks, it’s like having a weird tumor handing of your rifle 99% of the time.
D_S_1988@reddit
Good combo for shooting inside of 400 yards, at least for my eyes. You may have 20/15 vision and might be able to shoot out to father distances.
Royal-Recognition416@reddit
Yes popular combo. I prefer lpvo or just a 1x dot
mhammond0361@reddit
Or both with 12oclock or offset rds mount and 1-6lpvo livin that perm6x good life
Renovatio1969@reddit (OP)
Would be for my Sig 522 and about 100 yards max. My eyes ain’t so good so wanted something for hitting steel plates.
BlacksmithSolid645@reddit
I've been down the road you're on and have learned the hard way. Consider a much higher magnification, something like a 2-10x or 3-15x LPVO (I'd lean towards this). It's much more fun to be able to see what you're shooting and make adjustments rather than just putting your dot over the entire target. You can piggyback a 1x on that if you want, and even then you might find you're not doing that.
Renovatio1969@reddit (OP)
Thanks. Can you explain a bit more? Do you mean just use a standard scope and skip the red dot? Or is there a variable power magnifier you’re referring to? I’m already using a 3-9x40 scope that’s worked well for me for longer range and precise shots.
I was looking to switch things up a bit hence looking at the red dot with magnifier.
Vic_the_Dick@reddit
These are 1/3 lower cowitness on an AR so they might be a little high on the 522 but for 100 yards, 3x is great.
PBandCheezWhiz@reddit
You can adjust that.
Vic_the_Dick@reddit
1.05 or 1.63 (lower 1/3 cowitness) height on the optic, 1.4 (absolute cowitness) or 1.63 on the magnifier.
There can be something like .5 difference between the two and they should work but I’ve not tried it myself.
Renovatio1969@reddit (OP)
Was hoping to post a pic of my setup now but don’t think pics can be attached. My rail is only 6 inches so I need to make sure both pieces will fit.
Vic_the_Dick@reddit
Minimum rail estate with enough room between them for use of the bikini covers is a bit under 4.5”.
They’ll have equal optical centerline at 1.63” using the HM3X lower 1/3 cowitness spacer.
Renovatio1969@reddit (OP)
Awesome! Thanks for checking!!. I’ll have plenty of rail space then. Will place my order now.
Vic_the_Dick@reddit
They should but I can double check in about an hour.
Renovatio1969@reddit (OP)
This combo includes a shim piece so that both parts will be even.
Royal-Recognition416@reddit
This should be a good combo for your vision
CrankBot@reddit
Yes a fixed magnifier will help you reliably get much further than you would at 1x. But it ALSO it has the benefit that you can flip it (or take it off entirely if you want to do the weight,) and you haven't lost zero and you're at unlimited eye relief.
Renovatio1969@reddit (OP)
As much as I’ve read about it and seen videos, eye relief still confuses me. Can you explain it so a 1st grader would understand?
To me it’s how far the eye need to be away from, or how close to, the scope or optic so that you don’t see blurry or the black shadows. I’m constantly moving my head around to find sweet spot.
CrankBot@reddit
I mean yeah that's all it is. Bigger number is usually better bc it means you don't have to be getting your nose way up there. Eye box is actually like the up/down/left/right area you have to work with. But a longer eye relief generally means it has a larger eye box, I think
Renovatio1969@reddit (OP)
Got it. Ok for the scopes I have now, my eye is 3-3.5 inches away from the scope. That seems to be my sweet spot.
CrankBot@reddit
Yeah basically if you're comfortable there, don't buy a magnifier that has one much shorter than that and you should be good.
youy23@reddit
Another option to consider would be the flip defense mount. Lets you have a full size reliable red dot like the holosun ARO or even an aimpoint T2 and have a prism optic like an ACOG or Primary Arms 5x Microprism.
Gives you a lot better capability at range than a magnifier + red dot.
YouArentReallyThere@reddit
Yeah, I’d probably order two or three at this price if the magnifier had a swing-away mount
Renovatio1969@reddit (OP)
It does have a quick detach and also swing away mount.
YouArentReallyThere@reddit
Says the magnifier only comes with the QD mount
Renovatio1969@reddit (OP)
It flips away in the pictures of the purchasers in the ratings.
Greedy-Vast584@reddit
What hole have you been hiding in my man? Yes this is very popular these days
Renovatio1969@reddit (OP)
Haha. I’m used to my iron sights and a scope. Been getting more into shooting lately so I’m learning quite a bit. Just hit a pistol with optic cut slide so have my first pistol red dot.
AwkwardSploosh@reddit
Heck yeah. Welcome to dots! Pistol dots can be tricky when starting and are absolutely slower than irons when starting, but once you develop a good index they allow you to shoot much faster easily.
My father in law just got this dot/magnifier combo and uses it on steel out to about 100 yards, and he seems to like it.
Greedy-Vast584@reddit
Welcome to the red dot club if you bite on this deal.. great price for sure
D_S_1988@reddit
But after shipping and tax, there is no deal. I haven't bought from PSA in about a year because their *deals* keep getting eclipsed by competing vendors.
Renovatio1969@reddit (OP)
I paid $255 with gas and shipping. Where can both parts be purchased and shipped for less money? As I already ordered mine but a buddy wants this deal. But I’ll have him order from the place you did that’s cheaper.
Renovatio1969@reddit (OP)
How isn’t that a deal? The magnifier is $200 and the dot is $140 or more. I tried to price out the parts separately but it never come up better than the PSA deal.
andrewkpt@reddit
I just got a gold dot for $109.00 in this sub last week🤧
elitedlarss@reddit
Does it come with the flip mount? It looks like they don't line up.
Renovatio1969@reddit (OP)
Yes flip mount and a riser so they line up. In the pic they don’t use the riser. Hence not lined up. But look at pics in comments.
Drew1231@reddit
Next build is going to be an ultralight 14.5 AR. These things look light. How do they compare to LPVOs or other mag setups?
Renovatio1969@reddit (OP)
It’s 14 ounces for the the dot and mag
3girls1cat@reddit
Possibly the best in my opinion, long body means better eye relief when mounting buis and qd is a plus
Vic_the_Dick@reddit
No idea how the HM3X weight compares to other magnifiers, but the biggest draw for me is the mag can quickly detach. It’s only on the gun when I need it, and can flop outta the way in a pinch.
I recommend watching Hop’s comparison vid.
https://youtu.be/SnnPm1IBfK0
CrankBot@reddit
I bought a Vortex VM3X micro magnifier which I like, but I think this model weighs a little more but IIRC with the benefit of better eye relief.
IMO anyone who doesn't have a red dot + mag or needs another red dot should jump on this. If I hadn't bought two LPVOs at black Friday I would be on it
JS50K@reddit
Would this work well on the beretta cx4 storm? My space blaster…
_flavoracid@reddit
Maybe someone can help me here- I'm interested in grabbing this bundle but the idea is to slap the ARO on my 10/22 and use the HM3X on my AEMS X2P (AR15 platform). Is that a stupid idea? Does the HM3X line up or comport the way I'd expect with the AEMS?
Any and all help would be very much appreciated.
Hotsausepan@reddit
Why aren't we seeing many aro evo spr's?
Loud_Dumps@reddit
Wish it wasn’t the SPR model and included other colors. They only create the combos with red for both.
No_Leg6630@reddit
They’re around. Just probably making them in limited quantities since it’s not really a fan favorite
xosxos@reddit
Am I crazy, or do these not line up in the product pictures on PSA?
killbot47@reddit
From my understanding the aro sits a bit high anyways. Like 1/3 cause of the battery tray.Â
No_Leg6630@reddit
They didn’t install the riser on the magnifier
No-Abbreviations1937@reddit
Anyone know if this is any good with a Romeo 5 gen 2
radaleno@reddit
Does this dot have NV settings
Guano-@reddit
Yes, 2 night vision compatible brightness settings.
PBandCheezWhiz@reddit
Great combo. Picked it up the other day and have nothing but good to say about it.
