Many times when in the field or during competitions you need to transition between no magnification for speed at close-range and magnification for precision shooting as the situation dictates. The Athlon 5-power magnifier mounts behind a traditional red-dot sight to provide magnification when needed. The mount has the ability to swing out of the way when not in use, but can quickly be placed behind the red dot to increase the magnification for longer mid-range shots.

This magnifier is a well-made product for the price. I ran it first with a large MOA red-dot. That was a mistake. After running it with a smaller diameter red dot I was satisfied enough to keep it on the rifle. Anybody can mount it and if need be, adjust the quick attach/detach lever. Its light and pairs well behind high quality red dots. The product itself is great for the money. If I were to advise someone who is interested in a magnifier, I would tell you to make sure you use a high quality, small reticle, red dot sight to pair it with. It looks cool behind any 1x optic but in order to be practical you need to consider the set up.
