Hey all, im looking for a magnifier and mount combo that will line up with a Comp m4s on the standard qrp 2 mount. Looking at the aimpoint magnifiers, or the vortex vmx-3t, but wanna make sure the vortex will line up, or what mount to get with the aimpoint 3x. Thanks in advance!

Stick with same manufacturer for both mounts.

Everybody seems to have their own heights and definition thereof.

That does make alot of sense, so with an aimpoiny magnifier and mount I should be good ?

I use Aimpoint with Aimpoint and Vortext with Vortex etc.

That said, I just now took an Aimpoint CompM4s with the standard knob fast release Aimpoint mount that it came with and dropped it in front of a Vortex Micro 3x with the standard cam quick release mount that comes with that and it appeared to line up fine.

The right answer is to either verify with the mfg or stick to the same mfg. However, I’ve used magnifiers that were way off center from the centerline of the rds (as in I can see the top of the RDS housing occluding a third of the magnified image), and I’m just saying, it worked fine

Yes. AP twist mount is amazing IMO.

This^^^. Although my OCD got the best of me. I had to have them aligned.

I want to get a magnifier so bad, but cant seem to get past the issue that a good 1-6 scope will do the same thing...I am trying to justify it, but having difficulty

It depends on what you need for accuracy and what red dot you have. An Aimpoint T2 +3XC weighs under a lb total for both optics. A Comp M4+ a 3X magnifier and you're going to be around 24 oz with mounts at which point you may as well use a 1-6x.

But a good 1-6 won't do what a Comp M4s will do.
Yeah, a lot of guys say they would be just as happy clearing a building with a LPVO.
I just don't believe them.

QRP mount with the shim lines up very well with the GG&G flip to side mount

If you're talking the QRP2, I'll have to disagree....

It works but the misalignment drives me nuts.

Why I went w/ the Lucid 2-5X on a QD flip mount.  I move it from gun to gun.
