Review: Wow, this thing makes a big difference in your long range shooting! - I paired this up with my Aimpoint Pro red dot optic sight and I am extremely happy with the result. My results at the range were exceptional and the scope is very good quality. I looked at the Vortex, Aimpoint and Eotech scopes and I checked them out in the gun stores locally to see the quality and the differences. I wanted to see the optical clarity and the eye relief distance and after my research the Vortex won. They were in my opinion all the same quality and the Vortex was 1/3 to ¼ of the price. The Vortex also came with a nicely designed mount that I used on my AR15 but I mounted it in reverse mode so that the scope swings out to the right and out of my left eye vision. Some people complained about the mounting hardware being loose and wobbly and that the way I mounted it was difficult to use. I had none of those problems, the mount is solid and well designed and flipping the scope to the right is simple and easy. I do it one handed and I show it in my video. I mounted it this way so my left eye vision field is clear and it works perfectly in this mode. I used the shim plate that comes with the scope and it worked perfectly. At the range I was shooting 5 shot patterns in the bull's eye with a spread of ¾ of an inch while standing up. The scope does have elevation and windage adjustments on it. It has nothing to do with the accuracy of the scope as the red dot is the accuracy setting. All you are doing is setting the red dot in the center of the scope and making sure that your field of vision down range is centered around the red dot. I used an Aimpoint Pro red dot scope that I own. There is a nut used to tighten the scope onto your rail and the nut is slotted. Do yourself a favor and tighten it by hand and then get a good wrench or socket and tighten it down. Don't use a screw driver and scratch up the mount. Don't crush your rail, but make it tight. After 200 rounds then check it and tighten it again because it can loosen on you from vibration. In my shooting I found that I had a 3 inch+ eye relief that worked well for an AR15. My success at the range was excellent and I had a great time. On the back of the scope is an adjustment to tune the optics to match your vision and that helps to make the target crystal clear and in focus. This is an excellent sight and I recommend it as I rate it at 5 stars. My only complaint with the scope is that it doesn't come with lens caps. I went out and purchased a Butler Creek Size 01 flip up lens cap and it fit perfectly. I cannot believe that Vortex makes lens caps and simply does not include them with the scope when you purchase it. Vortex, raise the price $20 and include the flip up lens caps. Review: Good product with good price point - Really good low budget option for a Close Quarters Combat setup on your Rifle. Vortex had good glass, however where their products fall a bit short is on the inner seals. I know hunters who are out in all kinds of weather conditions. When the seals leak, your unit is toast. For those of us who are not hard core hunters, I still think Vortex makes a really good cost effective product. ## Features - The VMX-3T Magnifier and Flip Mount combo adds a 3x magnification to your red dot sight.

Its too stiff and the locking mechanism is big and stiff as well, I cannot maintain sightline, and switch to or from side with magnifier - I'm looking at replacing the mount with a Samson mount, fantastic personal reviews and small, spring assisted. looks great. **Q: will it line up with a eotech 512** A: The vortex lines up with my eotech well. The biggest difference between the vortex magnifier and the eotech is the picture window. You definitely have a larger viewing window with the eotech. This does not make a lot of difference at 100 yards and for me, the price of the vortex made it a much better buy than spending another 500 on eotech **Q: Anyone know if this will work with an aimpoint pro optic ???** A: The Vortex magnifier with the Low swing mount sits approximately 1/8" lower than the PRO. Before an adjustment is made there will be a slight haze at the bottom of the FOV where the magnifier is being intesected by the bottom of the PRO. However, once you adjust the magnifier to center the reticle the sight picture is great!So the answer is yes and no. You will have to tweak it a bit, or run it 2 picatinny slots back in order to get it to line up good. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow, this thing makes a big difference in your long range shooting! *by J***O on July 5, 2015* I paired this up with my Aimpoint Pro red dot optic sight and I am extremely happy with the result.

Vortex had good glass, however where their products fall a bit short is on the inner seals. I know hunters who are out in all kinds of weather conditions. When the seals leak, your unit is toast. For those of us who are not hard core hunters, I still think Vortex makes a really good cost effective product. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So far so good! *by J***D on July 11, 2017* I was inches away from purchasing a Trijicon ACOG, but decided to save 1000 bucks as I don't need a battle sight for range shooting/paper punching nor do I shoot at night so the tritium would just be wasted. I couldn't be happier with my decision as this little Vortex magnifier is impressive. I have this aligned with my SPARC AR red dot and the difference is night and day. This magnifier makes a nice crisp red dot when looking through the glass, oh and btw this is good quality glass. I have this mounted backwards so I can flip the magnifier to the right side of my rifle as I'm a right handed shooter. If you're a southpaw this optic will be perfect for you. This weighs about 11 ounces and doesn't add much weight to my rifle, but it doesn't matter as a heavier rifle=better control for me. I have read some reviews about how bad the eye relief is but for me the eye relief is about 2 inches which isn't bad considering they have it listed at 2.2 inches, but at 2 inches I get a full field of view. I looked at EOtech and the eye relief on their magnifier was 2.5 inches but I opted Vortex as 300 bucks isnt worth .3 better eye relief. I will update this review once I test it out at the range, but for now I would recommend this magnifier...or any Vortex product. ## Frequently Bought Together - Vortex Optics VMX-3T 3X Red Dot Sight Magnifier with Built-in Flip Mount - Vortex Optics Strikefire II Red Dot Sights - Bontok Single Picatinny Aluminum Accessory Rail Set for Mlock 3 5 7 9 11 13 Slots with 13 T-Nuts & Screws, 6 Wrench-Rounded Corner --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.my/products/1157926-vortex-vmx-3t-3x-red-dot-sight-magnifier-with-built](https://www.desertcart.com.my/products/1157926-vortex-vmx-3t-3x-red-dot-sight-magnifier-with-built) --- *Product available on Desertcart Malaysia* *Store origin: MY* *Last updated: 2026-08-03*
