lucas Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 A EOtech or Aimpoint with a swing out of the way magnifier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgary Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 legal, as long as both parts stay mounted on the rifle for the whole match. In other words, you can't take off the magnifier and put it in your bag, on the close-up stages. It has to stay on the gun. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chills1994 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Pardon the thread jack here, but are you saying Bruce then that a Tac Optics division competitor can shoot an AR w/ the Aimpoint Red dot on the AR w/ the magnifier behind it in tandem or piggy back mode, and now w/ these new (Larue?) swing out mounts, you can swing the magnifier out of the way? I'm new to AR's and 3 gun in general so I have to ask. So you can swing the magnifier out of the way for the close up hose 'em down stages, and then flip the magnifier back into position for the longer more precise stages? How much would a set up like that cost w/ the aimpoint, the magnifier and the appropriate mounts? Much grass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgary Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Yup. From the NROI interpretation, approved by the Board 9/29/05: A magnifier may be used with an optical sight in Tactical division without violating the "one optic" rule, provided: a) the magnifier does not contain an aiming reticle the magnifier can not be used as an aiming device by itself c) the magnifier is mounted in the same location on the rifle for the entire match If these provisions are satisfied, a) the magnifier will not be considered a second/separate optic, and the competitor may start and use their optic in either magnified or unmagnified mode without further restriction. Can't help you with the cost. Don't know. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 My favorites are the Nightforce 1X4 and the Leupold CQT 1X3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2ipsc Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 How much would a set up like that cost w/ the aimpoint, the magnifier and the appropriate mounts? Probably a lot more than a Meopta 1-4 K-Dot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I already have the M3 Aimpoint but I think it's still cheaper to buy the Meopta... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgary Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 (edited) Aimpoint CompM3 with Larue mount = $550 http://stores.homestead.com/Laruetactical/Detail.bok?no=19 Aimpoint magnifier = $500 http://www.swfa.com/p-7755-aimpoint-3x-magnifyer.aspx Larue mount for magnifier = $150 http://stores.homestead.com/Laruetactical/Detail.bok?no=131 ...adds up to about $1200 Versus a Meopta K-dot 1-4x for about $750 (plus rings) http://www.swfa.com/p-9143-meopta-1-4x22-m...ifle-scope.aspx $.02 Edited June 11, 2007 by bgary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpeltier Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 (edited) Meopta Meostar 1-4 KDot w/Larue mount = $971.00 Aimpoint comp ML3 + 3x Magnifier w/Larue cantilever and Pivot mounts = $1,092.00 $121.00 price difference I like my Meopta better for three gun but my aimpoint has a cool factor.

Gregory_k Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 M2 ARMS cataliver mount +3x mag + Samson flp mount = cost of COlt 6721. A simple Leoupold 1-4x scope would of been a heck of a lot cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbrowndog Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 (edited) So, lets see if I read this right?????? USPSA has officially said that the swing out magnifier is not an optic?????? Trapr Edited June 13, 2007 by bigbrowndog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgary Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 as long as you can't use it as a stand-alone aiming device... yup, we've said it is not an optic. Well, to be more precise, we have said that it is functionally no different than a variable-power scope, and does not violate the "no more than one optic" rule.
