I really like the eotech I have mounted on one of my 5.56 ARs and will probably put it on my 6.8 when it's done and would like to have a magnifier as well. I know about the aimpoint and eotech versions but I think they are over priced. Does anyone have any experience with the Mako 3x or 5x? The listed price is 99.00 (3x) and 119.97 (5x) with a supposed quick detach mount included. I tried a search put no hits

I would advise you not to waste the $$$$ on a magnifier for these optics.

Since a AimPoint or EO-Tech is a point blank ZERO optic, meaning no reticle for hold overs it is pointless to add a 3x to them. The max range you can shoot is 250yds to 300yds anyhow.

the parallax is a out of the world killer issue, it's the worst you have ever seen, the mounts to make this kind of setup work aren't cheap, and you do not gain any advantage by owning this kind of setup.

Your money would be better spent in training or ammunition costs.

What you said makes sense to me. It may be one of those things that is too simple to come up with yourself and need to hear from some one else :lol:

I really would like to get some training in marksmanship and would like to make it to the 6.8 shoot you are hosting next year.

I may use the Eotech on one 6.8 rifle and put a low power optic on the 18" so my father can use it for hunting again if I can talk him into it ( his eyesight at 74 isn't what it used to be but he is still a good shot)

Thanks John,
