Sightmark introduces new magnifiers to extend sight range

Sightmark adds magnifiers to its array of optics and accessories, launching two new models of magnifiers to help shooters extend the range of reflex or red dot sights.
The T-3 and T-5 Magnifiers serve up 3x or 5x magnification in a straight tube style system while offering a slightly shorter profile that their predecessors. Shaving off 0.7 to 0.8-inches off the previous generation, the T-3 and T-5 pair with AR-15 platforms to tackle target shooting, hunting and 3-gun applications. In what the company terms “an advanced, streamlined, low-drag design” the T-3 and T-5 are constructed to prevent snagging on vests or equipment while shooting.

The Magnifiers deliver a locking quick detach and flip-to-side mount for rapid transition between sight and magnifier. External windage and elevation adjustments help to align the magnifier’s point-of-view to the reticle in a quick and efficient manner while the fully multi-coated optics provide elevated brightness and resolution.
The magnifier weigh less than seven ounces and are compatible with most reflex and red dots — including Sightmark’s Element, Wolverine and Ultra Shot. Water resistant and recoil rated up to .308 Win, the Sightmark T-3 and T-5 ship with a flip-to-side LQD mount, adjustment tools and user’s manual for the retail price of $119 for the T-3 and $143 for the T-5.
