Can the magnifier be set up to flip to the right instead of the left?

Absolutely. There are two screws that attach the base of the magnifier body to the mount, simply reverse the tube. When mounted this way, you squeeze the button rearward with a finger and flick the magnifier to the right with your thumb. I actually find this method easier than the standard push-thumb claw grip over the top, and reset is even easier. It sounds weird to anyone who is used to the usual way, but it takes about thirty seconds to adapt. I like this much better.

Yes. You can absolutely change it so the magnifier flips to the left. As mentioned, you will have the release facing the muzzle end, but this keeps your trigger hand in place when shooting from a bench rest or tripod, which to me is good. All you have to do is flip the mount so the objective (lens end) is facing the optic and the dimensions are exactly the same as box stock. The other benefit of flipping to the left is that if you're running offset sights, it doesn't get in the way of a pure iron sight picture. An alternative to this whole issue, with the help of a little extra cash, of course, is to buy a LaRue Tactical Magnifier mount, which works like it was made for the VMX-3. Yes.

Well technically yes, however if you set it up to flip to the right, the release button will now be facing to the muzzle of the gun on the right side, and you will have to turn the magnifier around to accommodate the different flip position, then you would have to move your red dot sight forward to accommodate the length of the magnifier. It is not ergonomically correct to do this, you would have to reach around the right side of the gun in the opposite direction to flip the magnifier over.

Yes, the magnifier can be mounted to the base backwards. Although, this will position the flip release button forward and on the right side of the gun.

yes I have mine setup to flip to the right and it doesn't get hit by ejected casings either

Yes, this can be set up for flipping to the right. After I did this to mine, I noticed my Vortex SPARC was not aligned correctly. I rotated the SPARC's base and now everything is aligned perfectly. I really like this set-up (on my Colt 6920), especially during low light hog hunts.

Yes however the release switch for it to flip will then be located on the other side of the sight, away from you.

If you're seeing an upside down image in your Tasco eyepiece, then yes, the image erecting diagonal will give you a right side up image. However I don't know if it will fix left to right on your particular scope. Also the 1.25 diameter will work.

Yes. The LED Magnifier swivels around the metal post that is part of the clamp base.

Thank you for your inquiry. This telescope will show the image in a proper, up-right and left to right orientation.

No, but you can change the orientation before turning it upside down. Sideways no.

No, both direction rotates freely about same. You need to push button to move the dial for settings.

It won't stay fixed so that you can't flip it at all, but like the others said it doesn't just flip on its own. I have two in my bathroom around a big window and I love them. I thought I would never have use for the magnified side, but find that I do use it once in awhile!

The magnifier shield is both eyes and the binocular magnifier is on the right side but can be switched to the left by a screw on its base. It is simple to switch using a small #2 Phillips (standard) screw driver. Super easy and takes less than a couple minutes tops.

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

Yes if you are right handed. To use the light you have to hold it in your right hand. Other wise it is a great item.

I do not have the answer to that. I will say the magnifier I purchased I sent back. The lamp would not stay up and the magnifier just was not in the right location for comfort. I have an old OTTLite that just flips up and I use it all the time and love it. Just a basic lamp. Hope this helps.

Sure! Flips from one magnification to another. I love this thing! Wish I had gotten it much sooner :)

This comes with the flip-to-side mount to make it easier for you to switch from zoomed viewing back to your red dot, if need be. Same magnifier though.

Sorry, just noticed this question. No, I have never used a magnifier. My sight is set one slot back from fully forward and there is just enough room for my flip down rear BUS to clear it. Hope that helps.

I don't believe it can be switched. Perhaps the customer could specify the swing - left or right handed. Hope this helps.

Yes. There are straps on the back of the mag pouch that allow you to turn it either way.

same problem. my wife used a screw-plug to keep from 'flipping'. she has no use for the magnifier side. the manufacturer should be advised that this item has a serious flaw.
