  14. Just got a sig Juliet 5 and I have it all the way back on the charging handle and the eye box is awful, I have to crank nose to charging handle. Is this just the nature of 5x magnifiers or is there a mount I could get to bring the magnifier back a bit

  18. it's a pity that you didn't show what the combination of g45 with EXPS or Vortex UH looks like when it comes to the reticle view. This dot in the HWS would be much smaller compared to the dot in the collimators.

  26. So I know how bad this is going to sound. But I was surprised and I suspect you will be to. I recommend trying out a newest generation version of the 5x Monstrum magnifiers. I know, I was skeptical but figured why not give it a try. It's surpsingly good. Obviously not of eotech quality but surprisingly good.

  30. Just to add my 2 cents. This works well with the nicer holosun optics. I have it behind a 515ct and the reticle is perfectly crisp. The only issue is that on brighter settings the dot will bloom a little but that’s kinda a universal issue for dots with magnifiers.

    Second the lateral and vertical eye box for this thing is truly miniscule. And that’s very noticeable when paired with taller mounts like the unity. I have a primary arms 5x microprism and the eye box on that is noticeably more forgiving.

    If you plan on a lot of positional shooting under the magnifier, especially with taller 1.93+ mounts I would say stick with the 43. If you want something more for talking a well stabilized shot at distance take the 45

  32. Showing how a magnifier, well, magnifies any optical and reticle imperfections of the base optic is VERY helpful.

    I’m not sure I see how a 5x magnifier would be preferable to a 1-5x LVPO. I have a 3x Eotech magnifier. It works well and looks good. However, I don’t like it flipped out to the side when not in use.

  33. Notice that not too many people talk about that mount and how it kind of gets in the way of the charging handle and also blocks the window a little bit when not in use. I prefer the side folder mount for those reasons, that and it sits lowers that way

  36. There is no optic out there (well one possible exception that I haven't tried….the UH1) that is as clear, refined and crisp under magnification as an Eotech is. It's one of the great attributes of the holographic sight. Yeah as an overall package, it definitely has its cons but an Eotech stands out in 4 aspects: under magnification, field of view, speed and shooting passively with night vision.

  37. My question is: why is Primary Arms the first company (that im aware of) to add a ranging reticle to their magnifiers even though i can think of three other red dot manufacturers that have some form of BDC in their dots?
    I asked Aimpoint and EOTech if they plan to add an optional ranging feature, but im just some guy so i doubt theyll change.

  38. I would recommend considering the G45 for a medium+ range gat with a 1 MOA dot, and the G43 for a shorter setup or a 2+ MOA dot.

    I have both magnifiers now. The G43 is still pretty new to me, but my initial impression is that I really appreciate the extra 2x magnification with the G45, but also really appreciate the extra FOV with the G43. I think it all comes down to use case. The G4x-series magnifiers are awesome in general!

    I put my G45 on a 14.5 do-it-all with a EXPS3-2, which has two very precise 1 MOA dots, the bottom of which lands at 400m with heavier 5.56 loads. It's a pretty sweet LPVO alernative.

    The G43 will live on a 11.5 with a T2. The T2's 2 MOA dot suprised me with how broad it is when magnified even just to 3x, but since the setup is intended for 0-200m, it's still precise enough for those medium range, small target hits.

  41. I agree. Folks are gonna have to be realistic about their needs. My general recommendation is if they intend to scan for targets more often than not then I recommend the G33 or similar 3X. If they generally know where their target is at or need that extra magnification for PID then the G45 is more ideal. I personally opt for the G33 or Aimpoint 3XC for overall, general use.

  45. I will be the first to agree that if you want a magnifier that you should not cheap out. With that said I went with the Primary Arms 3X LER Red Dot Magnifier – Gen IV with the flip to the side mount and didn't considering the total real estate that the combo used. I would have been better off going with a LPVO instead of the Red Dot and magnifier combo. At 450 dollars the G45 5X Magnifier is approaching a mid-tier LPVO along with the expense of the Red Dot. Considering that the Magnifier has a shorter Field of View and shorter Eye Relief isn't a LPVO a better solution if you don'y mind a little more weight? I suspect that dialing down to 1x on the LPVO is about the same as flipping the Magnifier up on the red dot. I do understand that you can detach the Magnifier and just run the Red Dot, but how often does that happen?
