My first impressions on this magnifier is that this thing is built to last, it seems to be built like a tank and feels like it can come under a lot of abuse and still stand strong. Like other reviewers pointed out, it DOES take a good bit of force to move into place, but I find that when you have your rifle stock pushed tightly against your shoulder it is not that difficult to move (and I would rather have to put a little muscle into moving it than to have it flapping around from the guns recoil). The images I attached show the optic quality to be a bit blurry, but that is my phone trying to focus so close up to it and not the magnifier itself, it is crystal clear and partners extremely nice with a red dot (at least with the Mepro M21). I found it to be zeroed in when I first installed it requiring no additional adjustments to have it be spot on.
I took it out to the range the other day and shot several hundred rounds downrange with the optic moved off to the side as well as it centered with my red dot and it performed flawlessly, not moving even a centimeter. I also found that at 50 yards I was grouping shots at less than an inch when using the magnifier and unlike others I have used, you do not have to move your head around trying to see straight down the center to acquire your target, but has a pretty liberal amount of play so you can most likely use your typical cheek weld and still see your target. I highly recommend this magnifier, do not spend more money than you have to and give UTG a shot (no pun intended).

Glass- it is not especially crystal clear but then it did not cost $500 duckies, it is clear enough to get the job done and then some.
Mount- rock solid. No wobble etc.. and you can adjust the QD locking mechanism for a perfect fit.
Eye releif- a solid two inches easy.
Flip up sight compatible- yes and no. Can it cowitness a deployed rear sight? No...
Can you deploy a rear sight while not using magnifier? Yes, but mind you it better be a magpul or something like it to make it easy. I have an ARMS #40 L and is a beast to deploy with this optic covering the latch.
Focal adjustable- it is nice to be able to adjust the centering of reticle and lock it in place. Also nice to focus the reticle for your eye.
Durabilty- Time will tell all.
I had this set up with a Eotech EXPS2, Trijicon MRO and what I bought it for an HOLOSUN w/ACSS reticle red dot. Has the reticle with chevron and three dots for out to 600 yard capability. $200 red dot and a $64 3x magnifier is a perfect combo.
Have not been to the range yet to fire paired up together but I am sure it will work just fine. The red dot is great.
More to come......
Range report:
So after a couple hundred rds I have no complaints. The reticle is crisp through the magnifier and was able to dial it in at 100yds no problem. Still no wobble or other issues but I have not beat the snot out of it either.
I still have to say this thing was made for pairing to the Holosun red dot ACSS reticle 503G model. Still the only complaint I could come up with on this is glass clarity but for 64 bucks I can't. I took off my Trijicon MRO for this set up and could not be happier. Thinking back I wish I would have put this combo on my other patrol style rifle and saved 300 duckies in the process.
Pros:
-solid construction. This thing is built like a tank. I have yet to drop it personally, but it shock tested pretty good when the delivery guy tossed the (absurdly inadequately padded) package onto my concrete porch from 10 feet away.
-Good 3x magnification. In terms of function, I can't imagine needing to buy anything else when this just gets the job done (except eye relief, which is an issue and is discussed in the Cons section below.)
-The unit doubles as a "good enough" spotting scope when not in use or flipped to the side, which is useful for cutting down on gear you have to carry.
-Clear glass, adjustable eye piece that allows you to focus to your eyesight needs.
-Adjustable elevation and windage for centering red dot (pro tip: zero your red dot FIRST)
-Cam lock mount allows perfect alignment with my Bushnell trs-25 red dot on a 1" UTG riser.
-And of course, it looks cool.
Ok. The CONS:
-This is not the lightest unit in the world.
-As others have noted, putting the magnifier over to the side is difficult. And YES, I know you have to pull back and then rotate. Maybe this will get easier with time, but I find that it's pretty stiff. Now that I've decided to keep it, perhaps I'll oil the locking pin. Not a deal breaker, but kind of annoying. On the plus side, it swings back up real easy.
-The iron sights on my Saint will allow the magnifier to drop to the side, but they will not flip up without the windage screw hitting the magnifier when the magnifier is over to the side. This is not great, since it takes away the ability to co-witness or use irons as a backup. Obviously, you can use the quick release to take the magnifier off easily and thus use iron sights, but it shouldn't be that complicated. This is where the dumb "tacticool" issue comes in- the magnifier is styled with large flat knurls (kind of "grenade-like") around the body, and they are what keep the windage knob from clearing. The knurls give the unit grip (needed to unlock and rotate) but they are way too pronounced and could easily have been scaled back for better clearance. The obvious solution is to file down the offending knurl a bit and touch up with black paint. I'll likely try that, but I shouldn't have to.
-Locking cam screw WILL back itself out when you unlock the cam if you don't use blue Locktite. Also, there's some play in the unit on the picatinny rail front to back, and it will slide back no matter how tight the cam is when you pull hard on the unit to unlock and fold over (this is why the stiff locking mechanism is not awesome.) Again, you can get around this issue by pulling the base as far back as it will go eliminating an backward play on the pic rail before locking the base cam into place. Between this technique and locktite, I haven't had the unit shift around during use. But again, it took some trial and error.
-Eye Relief. This is the issue everyone talks about. I think this is going to be the deal breaker for some people. Eye relief is NOT 2" if you want a full view. I've found that nosing up to the charging handle gets the eye relief just right, which is fine since my length of pull has the stock right around position 4 or 5 anyway (I'm 5'6"). I also just prefer to be closer to the optic in general than some people. But if you have a really long LOP, or you just don't like nosing in, then you're going to dislike this magnifier. That's probably the thing you'll get the most of for more money.
Overall, I like this magnifier, despite its shortcomings. I especially like the price, and I think if I were to spend more money on something I would definitely go with a magnified optic rather than a more expensive magnifier. It's fine for what it is, and it gets the job done, as long as you are willing to work around it's peculiarities.

Der UTG hat eine höhe mitte Linse von 42mm , das Bushnell hat eine höhe mitte Lise von 37 mm.
Das lässt sich am UTG nicht wirklich ausgleichen.
Also auf die Bauhöhe der Linsen achten beim kauf.
Ich behalte der UTG dennoch, mal sehen was noch kommt.
