The only issue I have with the Micro6x is the same I have with my Micro3x and that is the throw lever on the QD mount. With the UH-1 or Eotech HWS reticle you do have a 65 MOA donut of death and you can use the bottom of the circle as an aiming point but that is only good for a specific distance and that will change depending on your ammo. I don’t really see people shooting long range unless they really know their holdovers with a 1 MOA red dot. You need to evaluate what you plan on using a 6x magnifier for. Here is a bush that is almost 200 yards away,Ĭheck Prices on Vortex Micro6x Magnifiers The Micro6X really zooms in to see a lot of detail compared to the 3x. Here is a bush that is almost 100 yards from my position. See how small the reticle is and how much smaller the shed is? I zoomed digitally in my iPhone to see the shed a bit better. Notice how big the 65 MOA reticle is in the Micro6X sight picture. Here is what it looks like when just looking through the UH-1.įlip the Micro6x and you get a much closer look at the shed. So I had to either move my head further back or move my optic and magnifier a little more forward to get my normal cheek weld. Because the magnifier is longer, it positions the eyepiece closer to your eye. The 3X has an eye relief of 2.66 inches compared to the 2.5-inch eye relief of the Micro6X.Īnother minor difference is due to how long the Micro6X is. One of the features I was curious about was the eye relief on the Micro6X magnifier.

The Micro6X magnifier comes with the same QD flip mount and selection of three risers to give you absolute cowitness, lower 1/3 cowitness and 1.93″ optic height. Weight-wise, the Micro6X is 10.9oz while the 3X is only slightly lighter at 9.55oz. As you can see in the photo below, the Micro6X is only slightly longer than the Eotech G33 magnifier and that is just a 3x magnifier. The 3X is 2.9 inches long while the 6x is 4.3 inches long.
