Have you run across a clone of the EOTech Magnifier?

Not yet, have seen the 3x eo clone but not the 4x you have pictured.
It is probably out there

Come one man.

Have you shot with it?

Clarity?

Can you compare it to real Aimpoint/EoTech magnifiers?

Pictures through the magnifier?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Clarity? yes, the glass is clear, no yellow or blue tint

Can you compare it to real Aimpoint/EoTech magnifiers? Nope, don't have any, dont want to spend 330/400 +$ on a magnifier

Pictures through the magnifier? no pictures yet

Inquiring minds want to know.

That's why i posted a pictorial and said I'd try my best to answer questions.

I started this thread after I got home from a 3 day stay in the hospital .................................................. ..................................

So tonight I started a new thread and included the Hendsolt LaRue "Po Boy" special that I got a few weeks ago. With my work sked I haven't had time to take that one out for a spin either.

So for now all I can say is that the glass in both of them is clear and they magnify as intended. I believe the Hendsolt will hold up since it was designed to be a sight on a rocket launcher

How well the clonepoint magnifier holds up will have to be seen.

How is the eye relief? The "real" magnifiers suck (only about 1"), so I was wondering if these are any better.
