Vortex 3X Magnifier Review

When shooting long range, it is not always easy to aim accurately. This is why having a good scope on your rifle can help. They bring the target that is, “over there” closer to you so that you can take aim and fire without giving your position away. This is especially useful for hunters. The Vortex VMX-3T magnifier promises to be an excellent choice that will work well with virtually any long range rifle setup you may have. Is it the right one for you? Read the Vortex 3X magnifier review to find out.

There are people who use it with their Eotech, their Vortex Strikefire, the AR-15, Aimpoint PRO Patrol Rifle Optic, and many more. The type of gun it will fit on is virtually any rifle that has a longer style barrel on it. Some people have even used it on a 5 inch rail.

What Others Think About It

Most of the people who have already purchased the Vortex 3X feel that it is an excellent value that is still comparable to other high quality magnifiers on the market. They say that it works whether they use their left hand or right hand to fire and that it stays zeroed in no matter how many rounds they fire off.
The biggest issue that people have with it is that the eye relief is difficult to get used to. They say that you have to be right on the scope lens in order to get a full view of your target area. A few people do not like that it is made in China rather than the USA. Some say that after about 200 yards, it is not as clear as they had hoped it would be. There are some who say that the flip to right is wrong because that puts it right into your vision path. Mounting it backward so that it flips left makes things awkward, but through it all, most people with negative thoughts about it, still claim that it is a great magnifier that simply needs a few tweaks.

    The long reload time as well as a short effective range caused armies to look for better solutions to make their soldiers more effective on the battlefield. One of the first improvements made to the musket was a rifled barrel. A rifled barrel consists of spiraled groves down the inner barrel that gave bullets a spin as they exited the barrel. This spin allowed the bullets to travel roughly 900 feet allowing soldiers to engage each other at a much longer distance. Displayed in Artifact B, rifling also carried over into cannons where the inner barrels were being rifled similar to muskets.

  • Civil War Accuracy

    “The term "couldn 't hit the broadside of the barn" was literally true when applied to the accuracy of smoothbore muskets. At 300 yards, only 1 shot in 20 would hit a target of 18 square feet. The guns didn 't even have an aiming device ” (West). The modern version was called the rifled musket due to its grooves or “rifling” in the barrel, which propelled the bullet much farther and more accurately because it spun the bullet. The issue with the smoothbore was that it was a muzzleloader, which meant you needed to push the bullet down the barrel in the front, which was extremely cumbersome and especially dangerous on the battlefield (Brooks 15).

    In the midst of the conflict during the Revolutionary War, the flintlock smoothbore musket was the most important weapon used. Within a hundred yards, the musket was aimed and accurately fired at a single target. The flintlock musket was fired when the flint struck the steel, which formed a spark that ignited the gunpowder in the barrel of the rifle. Due to the slow firing rate, the bayonet was designed to be attached to the end of the rifle. The sword like blade, attached to the muzzle of the rifle, led to several hand-to-hand fighting styles in the 1700s.

    These types of weapons only benefit the military and there is no reason for a regular citizen to own a military level weapon. Opponents argue that they can be used for personal protection and recreational use but there is no logical reason to use a semiautomatic gun when you’re just trying to “have fun.” A New York Times editorial argued, “Certain kinds of weapons, like the slightly modified combat rifles used in California, and certain kinds of ammunition, must be outlawed for civilian ownership.” As many Americans agree assault weapons are far deadlier than other firearms (Assault Weapons). “From 1984 to 2012, assailants who used large capacity ammunition magazines were able to shoot 161 percent more people and kill 78 percent more victims than those who used a weapon holding 10 bullets or fewer,” Argued Richard Aborn, president of the Citizens Crime Commission in New York (Assault Weapons).
