I was wondering if ne1 has every used a magnifier with just irons?

I have a lever action and i dont wanna worry about a scope. Plus i cant find 1 i like for under $300. So i just wanna use a 3x magnifier with my iron sights. Would this work?

you wont' be able to focus on anything inside ~10-20ft depending on your eyes, so instead of having a small target and sharp sights, you'll have a bigger target and a fuzzy smudge for sights...

You won't be able to see the irons with the magnifier in place...they "disappear"...similar thing happens with a 1-4x scope and a FSB.  With the scope @ 4X, the FSB can no longer be seen...

Well is there any other way to remedy the situation?

The Weaver V3 can be found for $150 new, if you're ok with an actual scope, and it's good quality...





1x-3x









(Bottom one)





Or a Simmons shotgun scope:
