Could you post some more thoughts on it?

I am on the fence about getting one.

Yeah, but the eye relief is seriously short, like less than 2". Plenty of scopes have better eye relief at much higher magnification. I just expected more for a $500 fixed-4x optic.

Actually, not even an optic. More like 1/2 an optic without the reticle.

I bought these "used" on the ar15.com equipment exchange, optics and sight equipment forum

99% of my stuff come from there

here is a link to what looks like the same "aimpoint" clone 3x magnifier that I have.

here is a link to the Hendsolt magnifier and mount from LaRue

updated pic of final setup

Got the LaRue LT110 today so that the BUIS will fit under the 3x now, and lift the 3x to the right height for the EO

found these pics in my "collection", looks like a neat idea, maybe these were 40mm pouches ?

Looks custom to me.. 40mm pouches are going to be sewn together and not have the hook and loop flap on the side like that one does.. still.. pretty cool idea, especially if you can protect the glass on both ends

Nevermind the clone from veriforce is a 4x clone.

I'd like to see a review of the Veriforce tactical one.

**mvician** · 11-11-2007, 01:09 PM

The one in my pic is a 3x clonepoint magnifier, airsoft ? probably. Seems to be solid enough, the mount is the only thing that may not hold up, but for a range toy it will do for now.

I also have the Hendsolt in a LaRue mount.....now that is built like a tank

Here is a thread about the Veriforce Tactical EO 4x clone

I ordered one of the clones as well and hope to have it by the end of the week. I'll post reviews when I get it. The price was $79 and I had to try it for that price.
