Can the 3X Magnifier be configured so it tilts to left instead of right or does it not really matter for left handed shooters?

The tilt may be adjusted left or right to accommodate a left handed shooter. Instructions are included with the unit.

The magnifier drops out of the way most likely will not cause you a problem I will look at mine but you probably can turn the mount around

No it can't. The Magnifier only flips to the right. In order to flip it the other way it would have to be installed backwards in which case it wouldn't work. You may want to call EOTech, they may have a solution or a different model.

Hi nomad,Although I am right handed, I know there is a setting inside where you can adjust for either left handed or right handed orientation. Hope this helps.

It really doesn't..you would just move the magnifier farther away or closer....leaves a lot to be desired in the sides

Unfortunately, if you have aligned the scope (i.e. using one of the alignment routines in the hand controller), you lose that alignment when you move the scope manually. When I use my CPC 800 for terrestrial viewing (which is not very often compared to using it for astronomy), I bypass the alignment but I still use the hand controller to slew the scope. I just find that is easier.

There is a slot on the top where you can slide down a long narrow Phillips screwdriver and turn the adjustment screw, or you have to remove the light and adjust the screw with a Phillips on the back. There is only up and down adjust, no left or right. I was lucky and didn't have to adjust mine at all.

I got one of these for a good friend who is a left handed shooter. He states that it works just fine for him, no complaints. I just had to position the rear butt strap that, I added, so that the straps buckle was on the other side.

have you shot it without the 3 power magnifier. I have one on a AK47 and it is pretty good. The shooter is more of a problem than the sight and gun when it is me. Try it on another weapon.

Reverse the slide mount to drop the magnifier to the left side. Works great!

If you don't want wobbly but a mount that can move to the side get an eotech or aimpoint magnifier.

You will be physically able to mount the rear sights as well as the two pieces, and be able to see the soft through the eotech with the 3x off to the side. However depending on the profile of your sights you may have a little trouble seeing clearly over the holographic sight

Default for the right side, but I shoot lefty and they work fine that way too

Reverse the mount for the quick release is on the right side of a right handed AR15/M4. Mine lines up with the ejection port guard and the rounds do not hit it. This allows the magnifier to collapse to the right side. Hope this helps!

Yes the magnifer is screwed in and you can unscrew it and put it on left side

the one on the side adjusted the left and right while the two bottom ones control elevation. when I first got mine, one of the bottom screws was not flush so I began to tighten them both. you kinda gotta play around with it because sometimes tightening the bottom will offset the laser to one side. I lined mine up using the iron sights at about 10 yds. i would think the easiest way to sight it is use a bore laser.

Its all about the mounting height of the magnifier and the red dot. That being said, as long as you get them close, the magnifier does have internal adjustments.

I'm a right handed shooter but have my scope mounted on the left. If you're worried about Parallax Error forget it , this scope doesn't care where you're point of view is. But take into review that my converter is backing up an Aim Point Patrol , that has no Parallax error. Other scopes? ... I don't know !!!

I have two sets of these sights. They are great. Answering your question, the rear sight can be turned around and used for left handed shooters. However, you will be looking at the back side of the aperture and will not get the shaded effect from the mild cone on the right side application. There is no way to make the sight work by undoing the base, as that will physically not work at all. The flat portion of the mount that holds the elevation wheel cannot be turned around to be of any advantage whatsoever. If you do not mind looking at the flat side of the sight, it will be fine. it will be about 3/8ths of an inch further forward, as the apertures are not centered between the ears of the rear sight. I hope this helps.
