Feyachi M36 1.5X - 5X Red Dot Sight Optics Magnifier with Flip to Side Mount

The Flip to side magnifier is a great best of both worlds. Previously, I would run a 4x12 mag lightweight aluminum scope. I say lightweight but it was still heavy relatively speaking. The standard scopes offer great optical clarity, low aberrations and a high magnification but you run into trouble if you try to place a reflex sight or holographic. Offset 45 degree mounts are rising in popularity and seems to be a natural motion to rotate the rifle into your shoulder cavity more but still that may seem too monkey of a build and movement for you as I couldn’t fall in love with the idea myself.This flip to side magnifier is a good solution because unlike many of the others, it actually offers variable magnification by using a telescopic lens that you rotate about 90 degrees to go from 1.5x-5x magnification instead of many others fixed at 3x magnification. So far, the lenses have held up to shock and recoil but time will tell with heat and the normal violent abuse rifles put on them. I am running this on a 14.5” 5.56 chambered custom AR build.The mount should be scrutinized in these reviews since it is the main moving part that has to support the scope and be in nearly exactly the same spot every time the scope folds into the gun.. This mount seems to be fairly strong. It seems to be built from aluminum and I really like the big nut with a side hole to really crank it down on the Pic rails. The push button actuation is smooth and lubed from the factory, again time will tell. There is a little bit of shaft play but its only a few degrees and I can live with it, its more than good enough.All said and done, for ~$80 it seems like a great bargain deal, its clean, it looks cool in matte black, and especially with the fact that it has a telescoping zoom function. I really like this solution and I think I will stick with it on my rifles

At first look this product seem to be extremely sturdy and well-built. Well I was right about the magnifier but not so much about the mount. The magnifier itself is very clear as compared to other more high dollar magnifiers which I do own from various other companies. My only disappointment with this product was the mount. Initially it mounted fairly sturdy but after one day of putting it through the paces on my suppressed 9 mm carbine (about 300 rounds) the mount failed. The mount retained its ability to stay on the rail but the plunger button mechanism would no longer work correctly. The magnifier would not click into place and stay there as advertised. I have since ordered another sturdier mount and I’m waiting for its arrival. Before the failure, I was quite impressed with the clarity of the glass the ease at which it can be focused. Eye relief at the higher magnification’s is somewhat unforgiving but doable. The sweet spot for me was at three time magnification. I may have just been one of the unlucky ones as this product has good reviews and I can see why. Again, my only complaint about this product was the mount itself so if you want to roll the dice I think it would still be worth it. The ability to magnify in increments are well worth the cost and the minor inconvenience.

Well, it mounts, dot centers (its a hair off to the left), and flips in and out easily. I would rather just run a dot or fixed 4x, but if you want this option, this isn't a bad guy to get some practice in with. I just bought it to try out, if I like it I'll buy a nicer one. Noticeable weight...not alot, but noticeable, seems to re-center on the dot when I flip it up everytime. Oh, and it doesn't look terrible either, bonus. Sorry no pics, but it doesn't have a specific home yet. I see use in it. Optics are clear and bright. Will update after some use.

This magnifier is a pretty good deal all around for what you get. The quality of this appears to be pretty good but I did notice immediately the preset screws for the base mount/flipper (the ones already set from assembly) are a little scratched... whoever assembled this piece kind of tore up the screws on the top.... Not a huge deal but I always supposed to see what appears to be a return in my box. I will have to inspect it further to make sure this is not the case and I surely hope not as I have had good luck with this company before but I am not writing this possibility off.Now for the real bad news. The height of this magnifier is off (taller than the optic by) about an 1/8" to co-witness with a Romeo 5. Unfortunately its so close to being aligned im not sure it either can be shimmed to the appropriate height. I also checked this with my Vortex and it was off by about a 1/2" or more... which may be easier but not the setup i want. Buyers beware... this is a good magnifier but you may alignment issues

Picked this up a year ago. Application was very simple and straight forward. Optic itself seems to be of good quality and solid construction. The flip mechanism works fairly well. Sometimes it can be a bit cumbersome when attempting to flip it to the left, particularly if you’re attempting to move in rapid sequence.Zoom: The 1.5 magnification seems to be a little bit more than that. Maybe 2-2.25. The alignment for the optic however is horrible! If you attempt to increase it you rapidly get shadows from within the tube and loose any visual of your red dot. When you do have any image of the red dot it is pretty significantly blurred. Getting on target with any sense of the optic or magnification is nearly impossible. Bad enough we only felt comfortable firing less than one magazine utilizing it.Considered using it as a monocular when in the field to at least get some sense of value from a poor purchase. Even then it is nearly unusable.If I had not gotten injured around the time I had purchased it and was unable to use or attempt to use it for about 10 months I would have returned it. Unfortunately due to my injury I was unable to hold up the rifle until just a couple weeks ago. I was really looking forward to getting out and using this optic but it looks like it’s nothing more than a paperweight in the drawer of misfit toys from now on.
