3x magnifiers

After using my 11.5 for 5 years now with just a T2, I’m looking to add some quality of life at the range and add a 3x magnifier on a QD mount. What’s the consensus on the best 3x magnifier under $400-500? I’m probably ok with spending 3X-C or maybe 3X-P money, but hard for me to justify beyond that unless it’s mind blowing somehow.

I was kinda set on the 3X-C, but just saw the C_DOES review showing the relatively small FOV compared to a Primary Arms so it’s got me rethinking. The Vortex Micro caught my eye at one point because I don’t mind Vortex stuff and it comes with a mount and have seen it all in for $200, but I don’t mind spending more for quality. I run my stocks all the way out and understand these will have poor eye relief so good eye relief would be a bonus.

I’d floated getting a $calarworks to mount the Aimpoint so if there’s a $500-ish package with a mount that makes more sense, let me know.
