Mounting the VMX3 Magnifier
The VMX3 may be mounted using the included 30mm high
ring or any other mount designed for a 30mm main tube.
The included 30mm extra high ring will mount the VMX3
at the same height as a red dot scope mounted for an
absolute co-witness with the standard height iron sights on
the AR15. If using an aftermarket mount, select a height
that will match the optic center of the VMX3 to the optic
center of the red dot sight being used.
1. L oosen 6 screws on ring until 30mm barrel of VMX3 can be
slid into the ring.
2. Slide the barrel of the
VMX3 all the way into the
ring until rubber armoring
is flush with the ring.
3. Rotate VMX3 until
centering screws are located
on top and right side of the magnifier when the ring base with
cross-bolt is on the bottom side.
4. Tighten the six ring screws in a criss-cross pattern until tight.
To mount using the included ring:
The VMX3 and ring can then be mounted to any Picatinny or
Weaver type base rail. If your firearm is not equipped with
a Picatinny/Weaver rail, these are readily available for most
firearms.
1. Position the VMX3 and ring on a base rail slot behind the red
dot sight which allows 1–2 inches of eye relief (applications on
heavy recoiling firearms should allow additional eye relief). Be sure
there is at least ¼-inch of clearance between the objective end of the VMX3
and the ocular end of the red dot sight.
2. Be sure that the ring crossbolt is fully engaged in the base rail
slot, then push down and forward and hand tighten the crossbolt
nut. For temporary use of the VMX3, hand tightening may be fi ne; for more
permanent mounts, a wrench should be used to tighten the crossbolt nut.
