Any idea how much total rail length I would need to mount this along with a Mako 3X magnifier?

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.

A 5" rail will be fine. APEX.com is the only vender that sells the mx3 with a picatinny base clamp if that is what you need.

Mine came with the screw on magnifier and a standard mount. If you want a lower 1/3 co-witness you will have to buy the high mount separately.

I cant tell you the distance as I returned mine. This info isn't included in the listing. The mount will place your magnifier 7mm below the centerline of your sight.(i.e. Eotech, etc). It is for the lower 2/3 of the view. There is another swing mount manufactured that has the same part number. The name of the manufacturer has slipped my mind as of right now, but it can be purchased from Primary Arms. Go to their web sight and read your descriptions. They also have the spring loaded push button and the magnifier flips to the side. That is what I bought instead. It is tighter and more stable as far as holding the magnifier. The Vortex has too much play and wobble for my taste. I cant tell you the distance as I returned mine. This info isn't included in the listing.

Absolutely! I have an Ncstar 3x magnifier mounted on an Ade Advanced Optics flip to side mount. It lines up perfectly height wise.

In the description the medium is .8 in height not 1 inch. Also I zeroed this mount with a bushnell Trs- 25, so it depends on your optic and if your using standard AR A frame front post sight or other.

I measured mounted mounted light from ground without step ladder. It looked like 3 1/4 but it very well could be 3 1/2". How bout switching out the box? It's an easy job and they can be found cheap.

The turret markings are marked in 1/4 moa. I have never worked with the dr mount so I have no information on sight height.

maybe about a foot long? 13" I had mine mounted, but the scope broke after 2 outings(erector tube won't adjust), I tossed back in the box and havent looked at it since.

Put in perspective, weaver rifle scope with 1" mount. All depends on the rifle? Very nice system.

I actually mounted mine using 3M Indoor Mounting Tape. When I took off the stock mount finderscope, that didn't work very well IMO, I just cut a piece to fit the "new" scopes base and mounted it. So I see no reason that you couldn't do this to yours. It also comes with different size mounting bases depending on the girth size of your scope. I hope this answer's your inquiry.

Chris, this fits on the standard flat top or hand guard rails on an AR platform. I measured mine, and depending on whether your measuring the elevated ridges or the lower chanels both are greater than 5/8". I'm not sure where your 3/8" measurement is referencing. Also, I bought this for my AR to mount a scope with a 50MM Objective lens, it didn't come close to providing the clearance I needed.

The mount interface only covers 3 slots, but I used the 7 slot rail (L3) to avoid anything snagging under the pressure switch end of the light as easily. FWIW, the sand color of the light is not a match for Magpul's FDE furniture, so I would order black if I did it again.

Currently I use a Meade 2" diagonal and a TeleVue SCT Adapter Long threaded in the back of the scope. It was pretty much straight forward to assemble all those items.

I used hot glue to mount a 120mm, an 80mm would probably work. Either way it takes some MacGyvering

I have a 22 inch wide magnifier and a 15 inch magnifier. The hanging arms have lots of leeway. as a matter of fact, the thinner the monitor, the bigger the information on the screen is. I recommend you buy one. Several of the employees where I work are ordering one for themselves.

The scope is about 2-1/4" in diameter so plan your mount to give a bit more.

To answer your question, I believe this mount will be exactly what your looking for, if paired with a magnifier. However, I wouldn't recommend using the mount for a scope, because the scope itself must be zeroed. When used with a magnifier, the red dot, or similar sight is zeroed and doesn't require the mount to return to the same exact position. This is a great mount for a magnifier, but I wouldn't use it to mount a scope. Good luck with finding what you need.
