Primary Arms SLx 3X Micro Magnifier

I have read & viewed the mixed reviews of installing a magnifier with a MicroPrism scope. with the 90 day test period PA allows I felt I could not lose. I had purchased the 1X MicroPrism 3-4 weeks ago. At an outdoor range I sighted it in at 25 yds. At the range I also tried a magnifier by another well known, respected brand & I loved it. There was no problem dialing in the focus on the magnifier. So I had to try the PA 3X magnifier. The flip mount is great in that it allows me to use the 1X MicroPrism for CQB & the magnifier for distances. I have not had a chance to shoot & zero in again but running dry fire I think it will be great. I focused both the MicroPrism & magnifier individually while I could hold them in hand to adjust & test. I now have a clear view for CQB & long distance. I have a 1.93 straight spacer for both the MicroPrism & the magnifier ordered to improve the eye box a little with the magnifier in use. Installed on S&W Response.

We need to get real… this magnifier is all that 90%+ of Americans would need. The gun community frequently gets wrapped up in the mindset of guns and their accessories will save their life, so only the best will do. Sure, that breeds competition and is needed to a degree. However, I saw reviews else for this magnifier that said it was bottom of the barrel, etc. Those people need to check themselves! It’s clear glass, it magnifies, and it works great w the primary arms flip mount. Total package is under $200 out the door. Not sure you can beat that bang for buck, and by the same token, not sure that you need to…

For what it’s worth, prism scopes are not typical red dots. I have the Primary Arms SLx microprism something or another, and I had to put this magnifier In front of the optic for it to work properly. From then, no issues w eye relief or clarity.

its a 3X magnifier. The glass is as good as the two other name brands I have. Similar eye relief, but much less money than the others.

Primary arms has the kookiest design yet ! Super light ergo design .

I read several reviews that the individual could not get the prism scope and magnifier to focus and work properly with traditional location of the magnifier behind the prism scope.
I had the same problem. No matter how much I adjusted the rear focus knobs on both it was blurry with my old eyes.
I remembered reading an article where someone had put the magnifier in front of the optic. I thought what the heck--I put the magnifier in front of the 1X prism scope and it was magical.
Crystal clear. I immediately bought 2 more magnifiers for my other 1X prism scopes.
If the traditional setup doesn't work for you--hopefully this will.

I built a 300blk out 16" rifle and wanted to a little magnification for my SLx1x cyclops ACSS and added the 3x micro mag to my rail. It took a little time to get the focus right but what a nice surprise once it did. Now my 100yds shots are clear and I can see impact sights without the need for a spotting scope. The magnifier is mounted on a flip to side so I can use the SLx in CQB mode when needed. I would recommend to all for light weight and clear optics with reticle that you can see w/or w/out illumination.

I bought this magnifier to go with my Cyclops. The glass is very good and it appears well made. I was able to easily co-witness the Cyclops. The swing out mount means I can use my BUS, should the need arise. The 3X magnification makes range work much easier as I can see the target from the bench. I highly recommend this item.

This is a great product. I have 2 already and love them. I plan to buy another as soon as my local gun store can gets a Desert Tech MDRX in stock.

I'm using this with the 3X magnifier and the green reticle is definitely helpful, particularly in bright sun and snowy backgrounds.
The reticle is clear without illumination and the reference marks are accurate out to 200 yds +. Hit some steel at 360 yds w/55gr as well!
This is 2nd unit of the SLX with the first having the red illumination.

the glass is clear and does what it is advertised to do. The small diameter makes it a bit difficult to get eye position. For the price I guess I shouldn't complain but there it is. the full size with the 2 screw flip mount is a better choice.
