Dear Lucid: You have brought tears of joy to my old eyes. Here’s looking at you, kid.
Cool! With that form factor and that much eye relief, it looks like it might be the only magnifier to work well on Ultimak AK gas tube rail setups. Now if only Primary Arms would sell a $65 clone I could theoretically afford…
I might have finally found some glass that might work for me. I don’t know if it is the reason why I’ve always had trouble with optics, but a Dr. told me I have round eye lenses, not oval like they’re supposed to be. I have tremendous night vision and peripheral vision, but I’ve always had a relief problem with scopes. Still, it’s fun freaking out my girl how I can read in the dark.
CUJO, you’re not a dog — you’re a cat! Or at least your eyes are.
HA!
Ah! I got it backwards-it’s my eyes that have “football shaped lenses” according to the doc. Getting old’s a bitch! Any how, thanks for the word-I’ll look into this device. I found one retailer who has the fixed 1X version. Do you know who carries the whole line, kind sir?
