    Currently have an Eotech SU 231/PEQ holo site but I want to add a 3x Magnifier behind it. Cant afford to go the $400+ asking price for the middle to top grade magnifiers but don't want to get a cheapie $100 unit either. Been considering Burris AR Tripler 3x Magnifier 300212 for around $200.
    Thoughts? Opinions?

    Well after nearly 4 hours of reading reviews and researching different options I went for the Vortex VMX3. Primary arms was the cheapest I could find at $129. Based on reading dozens of reviews I feel I got the best bang for buck that puts me between the high end plus $400 and low end sub $100 category

    They are a great bang for your buck, the vmx3 is in the process of being discontinued. They should have a new version of in avaible in the first part of the year. 129 is going rate for them. Thats exactly what I usto sell them for

    Your very lucky to find a dealer that had some. I ran out a few months ago, but it I defintally still have the interest in them.

    So the new ones are going to be priced the same as I just paid for the VMX3?

    Ya they are working on my site (have been for a year now) I really dont mind because my business is more personal, and less walmart checkout, but I almost wish the web designers would just make my site a "comming soon" page since its not usable. I dont think it will ever have a checkout function, folks just call me or email me to place orders.
