Red Dot Sight Magnifiers

A magnifier sits behind your red dot or holographic sight and flips into place when you need to reach further — then swings aside instantly for 1x speed up close. That one-lever change is why magnifiers have become standard on practical and service rifle guns, and why they earn their keep on a night vermin rig where you need to identify the animal before the shot rather than just see a shape. At Xtreme Tactical we stock 3x, 5x and 6x flip-to-side magnifiers from EOTech, Holosun and SIG Sauer, dispatched tracked from the UK.

Pair a magnifier with a red dot sight or an EOTech holographic sight, or shop the dedicated EOTech G33, G43 and G45. Want it all in one box? See red dot and magnifier combos, or browse EOTech's factory hybrid systems in EOTech Optics.

Frequently Asked Questions

What magnification should I choose?
3x is the most popular all-rounder and keeps a usable field of view out to roughly 200 m (220 yd); 5x and 6x reach further but demand more precise eye alignment. Match the magnifier height to your optic — our 3x vs 5x vs 6x comparison covers the trade-off in detail.

Will any magnifier work with my dot?
Most flip-to-side magnifiers pair with any red dot or holographic sight at a compatible mount height — just check the dot sits centred in the magnifier's view. The co-witness heights guide explains how to match them.

Magnifier or a low-power scope?
A magnifier keeps your dot and adds reach on demand; an LPVO rifle scope gives a continuous zoom range in one optic but weighs more up front. For fox and night vermin control, where positive identification matters most, our guide to optics for fox and night vermin control compares both.
