Magpul - 2025 New Maztech X4-FCS & X4-LRF

Yeah that's my one gripe, taller turreted scopes will prevent usage of the remote, unless you really mount the lrf forward on the diving board, a 90° would be the perfect solution, it allows use with scope like yhe TT or NF with beast turrett and also gets the wire out of the way so its not a hindrance when dialing.
Biggest downside of the Impact (aside from not working when it's mildly chilly outside lol) is a wireless remote. My favorite thing is to spend whole nights wondering around in the dark constantly checking to see if I lost my switch (I haven't lost one yet, but the fear is always there).
Agreed, I will always prefer a wired remote but it is nice that Maztech will give users the choice. Now if I can run a wired and wireless remote at the same time that would be awesome. I would put the wireless one on the buttstock to use with my support hand.
I'd be down for that. But I absolutely want wired over BT or any other wireless option first. Connector wise, with enough "want" you can have the connector at whatever position you want. Hell we have someone here who makes switches with different connectors.
Don’t forget to ordered the $200 diving board
And $100 thermal riser (not the one pictured )
And the $175 cable
Most clip ons are 1.5” some are 1.35
Maz is 1.9”
FAST™ THERMAL RISER
The Unity Tactical FAST Accessory Riser elevates backup sights and optics for improved alignment and visibility.

Give us a full rundown of it all once you put some rounds through it
It’s honestly massive. Neither the NF or Area419 diving board are long enough for the remote plug to clear the turret on a NF 7-35.
In case this helps anyone, works fine with the following:
- NF 2.5-20x50 with Badger Condition 1 mount and Badger CLIF diving board
- ZCO 5-27x56 in ZCO block mount and one piece pic rail diving board
- ZCO 8-40x56 in ZCO rings and ZCO top cap with long pic rail diving board
- S&B 4-16x42 in Seekins rings and Vortex/Seekins diving board
- NF 2.5-20x50 with Badger Condition 1 mount and Badger CLIF diving board
- ZCO 5-27x56 in ZCO block mount and one piece pic rail diving board
- ZCO 8-40x56 in ZCO rings and ZCO top cap with long pic rail diving board
- S&B 4-16x42 in Seekins rings and Vortex/Seekins diving board
Works with ATACR 4-16x42 with Reptilia diving board. You do have to modify the diving board front, which has a slope where the final grove needs to be. An $11 file from Home Depot and a little patience…
It mounts just fine. I can plug the cable in without an issue, but it sits right in the way of the elevation turret for me. The diving board needs to be longer or taller or something. Or, ideally, they would have a 90* plug. This is on an Area 419 mount/diving board.
Clearance on the Theta turrets is worse with the tail of the plug making contact.
Maybe a little bit, but not that much. Seems like only realistic way of doing it would be to get the rings instead of the one piece mount to try and get some more space. Even then, I'm not sure it will be enough space to fully clear the turret.
If they would just do a 90* connector it would solve a lot of these issues. But I REALLY don't want to have to buy a $200 cable for something that should have been out of the box in the first place.
I think I could take over the shipping department and cut unit cost by half
