Forgive me in my search if I have missed this.

Is there a decent magnifier that is cheaper than the 3x eotech? This would be for a 551.

A lot of guys use a Hensoldt tank magnifier in a Larue FTS mount. Believe it is only a 2x though.
 
Re: eotech magnifier alternative

I ran into the same problem this summer because I wanted to use my M4 to hunt Coyotes. I wasn't sure how well the other magnifiers were going to do and I wasn't about to spend $600 on a piece of glass that only magnifies, so I found a deal on the IOR qr-ts 3x scope for $650 and I love it! Point being that you can try the 3x magnifiers but don't count out getting a whole new scope altogether. If I had just a little more money I would have gone with a 1.5-6x scope but I'm pleased with my 3x.

+1 Have on behind my Eotech on a Sig 556. Mount on a Larue LT-649 'short' if I remember correctly. Lines up perfectly with the Eotech but call Larue to confirm on which height.
