Mark and Bob stumbled onto a sweet deal through Primary Arms. They were having a first day of Spring Sale and they were offering an optics package. In that package was a Vortex StrikeFire, Cantilever Mount and a FREE Primary Arms 3x magnifier. The G3.

EOTech G33 Features:
G33 EOTech G33.STS 3.25x Red Dot Magnifier with “Switch to Side” Picatin
The G33 magnifier is shorter and lighter than the G23. It offers an improved mount providing faster transitioning from 3x to 1x, tool free azimuth adjustment, larger field of view and an adjustable diopter for improved, more precise focusing. This G33 is an affordable magnified solution that will transition a fielded HWS into a lethal medium range optic. Superior light transmission and a large field of view helps this magnifier put the competition to shame. This rugged, streamlined optic offers split-second transitioning from CQB to medium range targeting. This is the 3rd Generation of L3 EOTech magnifiers. It offers more eye relief with windage and elevation adjustments that can be manipulated by hand, without any tools. The slap to side mount is incredibly durable and operates with the slap of your hand, knocking the mount to the side. The G33 also offers a locking, quick detach lever for easy attachment and removal of both the optic and the mount. This magnifier aligns perfectly with standard height sights and comes with a 7mm riser to accommodate the 7mm raised sights. G33 with Quick Switch to Side (STS) mount is faster than ever, just push the magnifier to the side and it will lock securely in that position until you push it back into place for magnified viewing. Specifications: – Magnifcation Fixed: 3.25X – Eye Relief: 2.2 in – Field of View: 7.3 degrees – Length: 3.9 in – Temperature: -40 degrees to 160 degrees F – Waterproof: 33ft – Sealing: Fogproof Internal Optics – Mount: 34mm ring with integrated dovetail adapter for use with quick release mount.
Vortex StrikeFire Features:
The Vortex Strikefire Red Dot riflescope gets you unlimited field of view, which allows you to shoot with both ends open for unlimited eye relief and quick target acquisition. This Vortex Laser Scope offers you an option to switch between red and green light to match the surrounding conditions. The Optical 2x doubler of this Dot Riflescope facilitates a detailed view of the subject. Waterproof, fogproof and shockproof, this Vortex Laser Scope can easily withstand rough weather conditions. Saving on battery, this Dot Riflescope automatically turns off when not in use for two continuous hours. The Vortex Strikefire Red Dot riflescope is Parallax free past 50 yards, creating no difference in the subject’s line of sight, even if the user changes his position.

Video is way too long. Thumbs up either way
Ever tested the Vortex x3 flip to side zoom scope?
Good deal but that strikefire is ugly in front of the magnifier. Love vortex, love primary arms, and love eotech tho. I know it's not your primary setup but damn that looks goofy on your AR pistol.
3:36 oh oh oh!
EOTech G33, its not even close, and with my EOTech exp3 there is no change in dot MOA.
The PA/holosun acss red dot and PA 3x magnifier would make a better combo
Oh my god that looks dangerous
Same combo deal Nov 30th 2017.
Vortex STRIKEFIRE II and 3x magnifier for $209.
what is the height of that magnifier out of the box and mounted? im looking to buy it
I get the same exact distortion with my Strikefire w/o magnification. It's clearly rubbish.
Guys,
EO Tech G33, Does it work well with Holosun HS403 ?
omg!! Bob is really good at Mannequin challenge!! Nice video!!
great video
no offence guys, but should have done the testing on a standard production AR and edit out putting it on and off. that way it's more relatable to the viewers and gets to the point faster.
is there a magnifier mount for lower profile red dots? I have a Sig Sauer Romeo 7 on the low riser that came with it, but all I've been finding so far are magnifier mounts for full size optic risers/EOTechs
Hi. Thanks for the video. Will the PA mount flip to the left? I know you said it's a reversible mount, but when I looked on Amazon the buyers are saying it isn't reversible. Please help. Thanks.
The g33 had a green glare when he flipped it up i seen anyone else see that i just bought the primary arms 3x magnifier long eye relief gen 4 with flip to side mount from primary arms for 180$ with shipping i cant wait for it to get it mon im putting it behind a holosun 515c ive heard alot of good things about primary arms thanks guys
Great comparison!
I have 2 Holosun Circle Red Dots. One is on my Ruger Mark III Hunter, and the other is on my AR 7 1/2" pistol, which eventually will be an SBR. I have yet to zero either of the Red Dots, and I've had them almost a year. When it comes to doing that, I'll have to get someone to help me, as I haven't a clue as to how to do it. The other thing I'll never understand is why the hell don't Red Dots have the ability to be magnified? You shouldn't have to mount all that extra crap on a gun. All it does is add weight. I tried to make my AR pistol as light as possible. Right now with the Red Dot on it, it's 4lbs-8oz., or 4 1/2lbs. That's heavy enough!! My AR rifle, that I just sold 2day, with the Red Dot on it was 7lbs-9oz.!! That's a lot of weight to lug around!! If this shit ass state of Florida, in which I live, had open carry, my AR pistol, minus the red dot, is what I would carry. I made a super cool ''quick draw'' drop leg, Swat rig, for it, that works great!!! Sorry for the ramble. Was only gonna ask why Red Dots don't come magnified? That's all. Thanks, Jay Andre
can I Co witness with iron sights? if so, how
I bought a cheap china magnifier and that thing did not last. I told myself never again
When do they stop unboxing and start the comparison?
How many yards are you zeroing in your red dot?
Hi guys – Can this op be mounted on a Mini 14?
Thanks for the vid. You mentioned that this is not a paid review. Are you paid by the manufacturer for other reviews?
would you bet your life on this set up?
Look at the green on the ground in front of the human prop. It's washed out on the g3 and not on the g33.
