I dont have a Ton of Magnifier experience. But it doesnt take a lot to realize how good this magnifier is. For $200 its nearly worth to buy, just to buy it.

This review is what sold me on the magnifier. Literally just ordered one. Wish there was an affiliate link so that you could’ve gotten some type of kickback for my purchase.
I just set one up. Thanks for the kind words!

I Second That .... Ordering The Magnifier Now ... The Field Of View Sold Me When It Opened Up Real Wide
@@manuelcabeza6922 I’ve had mine for a few months now, and I love it. There’s a tension screw as well that allows you to adjust the tightness to exactly how you want it to be when flipping to the side. I’m still satisfied.
You are my go-to TH-camr for magnifiers. You were recommended by a friend. Thanks for the video
This video sold me on the optic. Legit bought right after this video. Thank you for the in-depth review can’t wait for it to come in!
just bought one thanks to this review. probably one of the best reviews of optics or magnifiers i've seen. the way youve got the camera set up so we can actually see what an optic will look like. subscribed.
Much appreciated mate
Wow, I usually only find this kind of reviews for PC components, keep up the good work man!!
Pew Pew!
Excellent review. I just ordered this to go with my Holosun 510C. The QD mount is essential. I appreciate your enthusiasm.
Just started to think about this and researching. This was immensely helpful. Awesome job!
Pew Pew!
Thanks for the amazing review. I recently ordered one of these and do to watching your review before hand was able to realize I had a slightly less than ideal performing unit. The eye box and glass clarity did not match what you were describing in this review so I sent it back and got a replacement and the second one was solid!
Great review!! I have been considering getting a new magnifier for a while now. I bought a Feyachi M37 to go with a Feyachi V30 2MOA Red-dot. This was a first time buy of this type of sight system, so I wasn't sure I was going to like it and I didn't want to get in too deep price wise.
Having been an iron sight guy for most of my life I have preferred my peep sights to scopes for all but the longest of shots. Even in the military we used iron sights for us standard grunts, so I was reluctant to make the move to these new-fangled gadgets. However, these old eyes have been needing a little help lately, so I thought I'd give it a try. It has taken some getting used to, but I'm now convinced to their benefit for us old guys.
The biggest problem I've had with my magnifier is the eye relief. Finding that sweet spot isn't so sweet. I've seen the reviews for the HM3XT and am impressed with it, but I'm a little hesitant because of it only being a 3x's magnifier. My Feyachi is a 1.5 to 5x's optic and it works great for my shot verification at 100 yrds. Since this isn't something, I do a lot, I'm not sure I need the extra magnification, but it is a concern of mine. Anyone got any helpful feedback?
Just bought one today. Going to pair it with one of my 510Cs. Great review!
Pew Pew!
Great review. I have really come to love the versatility and flexibility that a red dot
/magnifier combo offers. I have the Sig Juliet 4 magnifier and I am really impressed with it.
I definitely see the versatility with them as a combo. I just got in a Sig Juliet 3x Micro. Im excited to see how it works out.
@@CDOES So would you take that over the Holosun that you just reviewed in this video? That’s my two choices I’m stuck on and why I’m here. Thanks in advance!
This video definitely answered my questions about magnifiers. Great content. Subscribing.
Thanks mate! Pew Pew!
I found a great deal on this magnifier & snagged it just because of this review. your content is amazing man. keep it up!
👍 Thanks mate! Enjoy it
Nice and informative Video. U helped me with my buying decision, thx a lot and happy holidays.
5:45 wow. That's really awesome.
Just ordered one of these to go with my SU-16 and Holosun 510C. Looks a little chunky, but I'll be glad to finally try out some magnification. I think it will be a real flexible setup, and if I positively do not need magnification I can always yoink it off and chuck it in a bag to save the weight on the rifle. Can't wait to play with it!
Your reviews are amazing! THANKS
Thanks mate
Sold! Buying this one. Thanks for the review.
By far the BEST review I've seen so far. Super thorough and easy to understand. Just got a he510 Gr for my rugger 556(my 1st AR) and was debating on adding a magnifier and this sealed the deal for me. Can't wait to pair them up and go pew pew. Thanks.
Pew Pew! How did it workout for you?
I love these videos so much. Keep them coming bro!
You got it!
I done Bought it. My Kriss needs that extra range sometimes through my EOtech
Yes Yessssss, good. Very gooood
@@CDOES Does this magnifier work with the Aimpoint pro with an absolute co witness?
Woah, Z! Love the audio reviews, cool to see you over here in the gun tech world. I got mine today, it’s sick!
AWESOME review! I own this magnifier and was surprised at how good it was given the price. That said, the reason you have a wider field of view when you flipped the magnifier up behind the red dot is because the magnifier is showing you what it sees from it's objective lens that's 2-3" in front of where the back of the magnifier is. If you were to move your face 2-3" closer to the red dot (without the magnifier of course) your field of view through the red dot would be just as wide. Keep up the great work!
Regardless Holosun struck a great balance with this thing. Im excited to try out the Hm3xT
You got me convinced. I am going to be grabbing one of these. Thanks for taking the time to review this.
Great video! I’m buying one tomorrow thanks to this vid
I paired the hm3x with the Holosun 403r, $330 for the pair. 1/3 co-witness lined up perfectly.
The eye relief was the thing that kind of surprised me. I normally like to run my stock all the way back. With the hm3x, I have to have my stock all the way to the front, my nose almost touching the charging handle to get a full view with no shadowing. I do like that when I move the magnifier off to the right, I'm able to pop up my mbus rear sight with no interference. Overall I'm happy with the purchase, just need to get used to being up close on my stock.
Love your channel, dude. Picked one up today.
Good review , I’m running this magnifier with the holosun 510c elite “green dot” and its amazing
A match made in the factory!
Extremely helpful. Thanks, man.
I bought the Stryker HD 1-6x after your review. Now I'm picking up this for my AR15! Love your channel, greetings from Sweden!
Hallå! Thank you for the kind words.
I have a 515gm on a scalaworks lower 1/3 mount and this magnifier and they line up perfectly. Good review sold me on the magnifier and I like it
NOICE! I want the TI model coming!
Thatll be SICK!
cant wait to use this with the PA slx 1x microprism!! great option for my astigmatism
I purchased one on your recommendation, paired w/ a strikefire ii red dot. Beautiful combo! Only downside that I've had so far is that it made me realize that I'm developing astigmatism in my late 20's... :P Can't wait to go to the range!
That is sad to hear with the SF II... Its one of the better red dots I've ever used with my astigmatism. Good to hear the combo works for you 👍
@@CDOES do you still have anything for sale from your december yard sale video? feel free to pm me. :)
I just ordered one should be here Thursday 😁
Did ya get it? How do you like it
I had both the HM3X & the Vortex Micro 3X, ended up keeping the HM3X for a lot of the reasons you covered in this video. The only thing I liked about the Vortex Micro more was the mount. It was a lot stronger mechanism, also the mount took up less real estate. I enjoy the HM3X so much, I'll probably be giving the Holosun HM3XT a try after it releases. By the way, if you're looking for a Holosun HE530GC-RD, I'm your guy. I'd be glad to loan you mine because there just isn't that much info out there on the HE530 series. I had to take a leap of faith before I ordering mine. A video review of your quality would probably help a lot of people that were in my shoes.
Glad to see im not the only one that noticed the differences between them lol That would be Awesome! Ive been wanting to try out the higher end Holosuns for awhile. The best way to reach me for that in on my Patreon. The messenger is easier for me to use and communicate with.
Would the he530 have a larger window and FOV over the Holosun 512. I have the 512 with Magnifier but the 512 is huge optic and eats up a lot of rail and also how pleased are you with the 530, I’m thinking of taking the jump for it.. she not cheap by
Means.?
Which is better the HM3 or XT?
Aligns perfectly with my sig Romeo red dot💯
I have always been curious about magnifiers. What it did for the vortex strikefire should be a permanent setup without folding it away lol... When I first started the strikefire ll was my first optic and red dot and it was cool you have the green and red laser, but the battery life and or no shake awake quickly made me realize trijicon or aimpoint only. I do have the Viper gen ll but that is not for defensive purposes. Great reviews. You should have more subs because when it comes to reviews I like yours moreso than the bigger channels on TH-cam.
Thanks mate! Yeah the SF II has some draw backs. But its built like a tank and just works. A great starter red dot, but there are some better options for similar money.
Great review on a good optic
Awesome review again!
Thanks mate!
Good work man. I just did it. Thank you
Definitely buying one thanks
Pew Pew!
Have the same magnifier, love it, just wish they could shed about 2 or 3 ounces from it! A 4x and 5x magnifier from them would be great too with some BDC/ranging and holdover/move stadia would be nice while leaving the center clear of course, I know a flip to side these things can't be guaranteed to be precise but it would be close.
Holosun is making me a repeat customer. Excellent gear !!
This is still the best magnifier
Awesome review
I have this magnifier with a vortex red dot for AR. It works fine
Great video. Is there an optimal placement between magnifier to the optic? I typically see them mounted right next to each other but wondering about monolithic rails where the magnifier is mounted far back for eye relief , yet the optic might be very far forward even on the handguard itself.
I love my HM3X with my HE503CU. Fantastic magnifier!
Truly a solid combo!
Anyway to change mount orientation for lefty?
@@shareefk9039 I've read that the mount is reverable.
Awesome review. Were you able to find a work around on the spacer to align the magnifier and the Holosun 403b red dot?
I just ordered the HM3X-T
I just bought the HM3XT.
I got the vortex...had both side by side and vortex blew it away...was very surprised
Heck I like your channel. Earned a sub
Cheers!
Would love to see how this set up works with the upcoming primary arms cyclops Gen 2. Could be nasty.
People are indeed using this setup - 1x etched reticle prism + magnifier.
Would be very interested to see a focused test of it.
awesome sauce getting one for my romeo 5 red dot is the height the same for the standard sig rred dot
I guess I’m buying this now. I just got the 503cu and this will be freaking perfect!
Yes it will be!
Excellent video, do you plan on comparing the micro 3x to the newer holosun hm3xt when it becomes available?
mine lines up perfect with the Holosun 503cu
Center looks good, top actually pretty blurry. And the tiny adjusting tool? Think I’ll add $100 more for Micro 3x with better mount and size.
I have a question that may seem silly, but I'll ask anyway. In the video are the images at max magnification? I didn't see any zoom footage so I'm assuming it was at max. On the range you said the known distance was at 50yrds, and the targets were definitely enhanced but I wasn't sure if you were zoomed all the way in or not. Just curious.
FOV enhancement happened at 5:45 when you flipped the magnifier on because, the glass for the front of the magnifier is just a centimeter or so from the red dot glass. This would be like having your eye just 1 cm away from the red dot. Want a wide FOV with your dot? Just move it closer to your eye!
But then you wont have room for the magnifier. This is all correlated to using a magnifier with different red dots.
I’m assuming the issue with the scalarworks mount is that the holosuns (reportedly) have a thicker base than aimpoints to they sit a tad higher on any given mount.
That is a possibility. The issue here was there needed to be another, thinner shim for the magnifier. That would of solved the issue.
Why can't all videos be like this, straight to the point without all that talking and that typical heavy metal music in the intro, lol.
How would you compare the HM3x magnifier + 503 ACSS to the LPVO delta stryke 1-6x?
Just purchased the Holosun HS403C. Would the HM3X work just the same (as good) as it would on the HS503G?
Great review, Can you do a review on a 3-9 x 32E sniper scope?
If I can get my hands on one, absolutely.
man you have the best content for magnifiers! im debating between the vortex micro3x, the holosun HM3X and the Sig Juliet 4x whats your opinions?
Tho I only have direct experience with 2 of those 3. I have gotten my hands on a Juliet 3x Micro.... Go with the HM3x.
@@CDOES thanks man, hope you can get your hands on a Juliet 3x or 4x, only hear good thing about them, looking forwards for a review in the future!
Great review as always! I hear that you really have to move your head closer to this magnifier to see it well. Has that been the case in your experience?
I find that the eyebox on this is fairly standard. Usually eyerelief on a magnifier is around 2.5", this is right there.
The height difference is because I believe it’s designed to pair with the 510c.
Great review. Thank you
Would you recommend this over the vortex 3x magnifier?
I know it's been a few years since this was posted, but I am having a hard time choosing between this and the Vortex VMX-3T. I'm leaning to the vortex for the loyalty, warranty, the eotech footprint, and I've heard the eye relief is better on the vortex as well. Any advice?
Hello there ! I really want an etched optic, not just a simple red dot so after this video I'm considering this magnifier + an acss prism, either 1x or 2x. How does it handle longer distance shooting ? Is it actually a viable option or do you get some weird parallaxe and whatnot? Thanks for the great review btw
Sorry for he Delay. The PA 1x Micro Prism apparently handles being magnified very well. Ill be getting one soon for review.
Hi, how would this magnifier line up/work with Sig Sauer Romeo 5X red dot? On my ar15 I put my sig 5X in full co-witness option. I will be gratefull for info. Thx
Does anybody have the issue that the QD mount can't be tightened enough to fit it on the rail free from play? (Mine is wobbly (lever can barely be closed) or the lever can't even be closed when tightening the screw 1 click more
The prism surprised me. Now I'm wondering if you can stack magnifiers lol
Only one way to find out lol
I’m having trouble finding the “sweet spot” for the red dot and magnifiers locations on the pic rail.
How is the line up with with holosun magnifier and the strikefire 2 on the rail?
Hey I’m having mixed feelings. I have a holo 512c red dot I’m trying to get the best magnifier for this set-up, any suggestion and what are your feelings on it? Any info helps bad/good let’s hear it. Thanks everyone
Was watching the primary arms 3x LER video, how does it compare to this holosun 3x magnififier?
Could you use this on a UNITY FAST FTC OMNI Magnifier Mount?
How would you compare this with the Vortex Mini?
hey C_DOES? could the height offset you experienced with the holosun on the scalarworks mount been due to the mount being of 1.93'' height as oppossed to a lower true lower 1/3 cowitness?
100% just didn't have the right spacers available to make it perfect.
I have one. It's exceptional, as is the HS503G ACSS CQB Reticle Red Dot it's paired with.
I have a 403b. Would you think that they would be the same height?
@@coyoteodie4458 Yes they are same height.
@@CustomJeep , thankyou sir for the fast reply. That makes up my mind.
@@CustomJeep bought it. Had to use the supplied height adapter but it lined right up. Love it! Thank you again.
Will this magnifier work with aftermarket mounts?
do you know what mounting footprint it uses?
quale sarebbe la tecnica giusta per tarare il magnifier? va prima tarato il red dot e successivamente il magnificatore o va fatto in altro modo? a che distanza tarate normalmente con cal. 5.56?
Great video’s! Would you recommend this Holosun HM3X over the Juliet 3 micro magnifier?
I have the micro here for testing. Run away! The HM3x is the king of the hill so far.
@@CDOES Nice! That’s the one I bought. Also just bought the holosun 510C elite GR!!
I wander how much more you would see with a magnifier that has a 30mm lens and tube
I've bought 2 magnifiers and both don't work for run and gun because of how bad the eye relief is. It had a good 3 inches for eye relief but if u weren't perfectly behind it you'd just see the optic shadow and I was wondering what magnifier has the least amount of "eye shadow"
I'm not sure what its called but I'm calling it eye shadow lol
Scope shadow is a good word for it. That is the dark area on the inside, of the glass, towards the outside edge. the Vortex Micro 3x had a fair amount of this if you werent 100% in the right spot. and that spot had a very shallow amount of leway. This has a bit more and looks better as well. I have a G33 coming in soon that im curious to try out. As well as a Juliet 3x micro. This so far seems to be the best.
Fantastic review, would the Holosun HM3X Magnifier be the best match for an HS510c or 512c optic?
I m pairing hm3x with hs510c. Its fantastic!! I have astigmatism so the hs510c helps alot.
Will this line up with a Sig Romeo 5? Great content.
It should be good. Even if it isn't 100%, as in the video it still sees thru the 503 just fine. Thanks!
will it work on etotech
Is it better than eotech g33?
Any chance we'll see a Sig Juliet3 Micro or Romeo & Juliet red dot and magnifier combo review?
I think you'll see something soon
Thinking im sold. Been bouncing all over the place trying to decide if i want a LPVO or magnifier and what LPVO or red dot to choose.
Aslong as you properly train with either setup, your going to be fine. Uber lightweight still has to go to the red dot corner. Ease and practicality goes to the LPVO imo
@@CDOES Got the 503g and holosun magnifier, just have to get the riser on without stripping the screws but even with it not lining up perfectly it seems really nice. Very useful videos btw, pretty much only considered buying something if you had a video of it.
@@ohy2266 I appreciate the kind words! That is the same situation that Alex had. But it still worked perfectly fine
I definitely want to go with HM3X but can't decide between the hs503g acss or the 510c. I am near sided and do have a slight Stigmatism. I've looked through a 510c in person and liked it but have not looked through a 503. What are your thoughts? Thanks
If one is good for you, the other should be as well. Me personally I like the size of the view thru the 510. That'd probably be my choice. But get what you feel works best for you. And if anything you could always return it, or sell it.
@@CDOES thanks that was my thoughts exactly that the view port was bigger on the 510c.
I've got the 503. Not all astigmatism is the same - I can't see the drop dots at all, but the Chevron is fine. I have an HM3X on the way... we'll see if it helps that out when it arrives.
with good with Romeo 5?
Will magpull flip irons fit under the back of this 3x?
That is a good qustion. I unfortunately dont have it here with me. But I would say it would be very close.
can you use a magnifier without a red dot? just your iron sight with the magnifier to help zoom in on the target.
No it will blur your sight picture to the point you can't see the irons
It holds zero pretty well, too?
