Awesome video. I've had my eye an that flip to side 3x magnifier, but just can't decide if I want one MOA dot or 2 MOA dots in the holographic circle. You mentioned that the one dot doesn't give you any obstructions, and any more dots would cover your target. But that second dot would be great for long range targets. I'm leaning a little more towards just one dot...but I still just can't decide! Are there any other points you can give that can help me out?
@eyanvenom Yep, I agree. Yardage dots would be a nice touch. I shot various distances last weekend and guessed a bit without additional dots. I went from 3/4 inch at 100 yds to about 2 1/2 inch groupings out to about 250 yds. If pricing isn't an issue go with multiple range dots but either way this EoTech is amazing and with a flip to the side magnifier, both close-up and long range accuracy is extremely quick and easy. Let me know what you go with and upload a video of your results!!!!
@marksman9939 I'm stuck between EOTech's flip mount and a few of its competitors. Has your magnifier flipped back into place, say if you were holding the rifle sideways or making any rapid movements?
@eyanvenom I really don't jump around enough to test this. I haven't had it move while running since it requires two seperate movements to flip up and slide lock over into place.
@marksman9939 I actually meant flipping back into magnified position, not unmagnified. Is the spring sturdy enough to hold the unmagnified position in place if you were holding the gun its direction?
@eyanvenom Actually, there is no spring. It is a slotted base that two ribs on the magnifier attachment slide into. It does not fall into place but can be re-positioned very quickly/easily with one finger. Keep in mind this is a low-tech slide to the side mount. I could post a quick video of funvtion but it might take a few days......if needed.
@marksman9939 Thanks for all of your responses. I would definitely appreciate a video taking a closer look of the flip mount's function. If you think it will be beneficial to other youtubers as well then please, go for it!
@ivebeenrocked The Sightmark magnifier works very well. I've had a chance to shoot 75 yds and flip it out of the way for quick up close 30 yard shots and it worked great. It's a little bulky flipped off to the side for running and gunning but compared to the swivel/remove mounts, this is much nicer. It has a quick release latch to take the magnifier on/off if needed. Let me know if you want on-line order and pricing info.
Thanks for watching...more to come after Santa deliver's!!!!!

@marksman9939 I can't seem to find it. You mind messaging me the link?

is your eotech a short or taller version? I'm wondering which lines with the magnifier.

@marksman9939 Also, what is your pivot mount called? It looks a little different than the ones I'm familiar with.

GREAT video. Nice touch on range review before weapon review. 3/4 of an inch at 100 yards isn't bad either!!!
