Thanks to an included ambidextrous, quick-deploy, Picatinny-compatible mount, the Bushnell AR Optics Transition provides 3X magnification to any red-dot-equipped rifle when needed, but can quickly be flipped out of the line of sight when not. Waterproof, shockproof and fogproof, the nitrogen-purged unit features fully multi-coated lenses and diopter adjustment, and its housing is wrapped in a protective layer of rubber. Thanks to vertical and horizontal turrets that allow the optic’s reticle to be centered within the magnifier’s ocular lens, the Bushnell AR Optics Transition is compatible with red-dots that employ either absolute or lower-one-third co-witness. For more information on this magnifier, which retails for $145, please visit bushnell.com.
