Does anyone have the 3X magnifier or have any experience with one? If somebody has one, would they bring it to a match for me to see?
The intended use is for carbine from CQB distances out to 300 yards. I'm also considering a low power variable scope but would like something that is as close to 1X as possible if anyone has any opinions.
Aimpoint magnifier
I really like my Trijicon Acccupoint 1.25-4, and my Chinese Short Dot copies(1-4). I like the idea of the magnifiers, but the cost is too great. Meopta makes a variable that you can purchase for less than the scope and magnifier combo, and it works great on a member's competition rifle. Hopefully he will by here ASAP.

Meopta Kdot or IOR 1.1 X 4 both are good and cheaper than a combo.
I have the IOR on my cat rifle (.338 Spectre) and it works well. I shot it on a .223 in one 3 gun match and I couldn't tell any difference in speed between it and a Aimpoint.
Of course I'm slower than shit so that might not be a good example.

Thanks for the replies. Maybe I could try some of the low power variables but I'm a little concerned that anything much beyond 1X tends to slow me down a little. (I have a 1.5X mini-acog, bought from ebay before they got stupid expensive.) Since I already have the Aimpoint and a flip-mount for a magnifier (which I actually won:)) I was hoping to try a real magnifier. I actually have a Chinese knock-off unit, but it is a piece of junk. The eye relief is like one inch and its really dim. I'm hoping that an actual Aimpoint unit will be better.

Scott, I was thinking about buying a magnifier, but a friend talked me out of it. He had tried one and said they were very sensitive to head position for one thing, and he wasn't satisfied with it.
I do like my K-dot Meopta though. The only issue is it is a tad large, but it is a 1x4 scope so maybe I can't cry too much.
Submitted FWIW.

Resistance is mandatory.
