Designed for the civilian shooter at a budget friendly price point, the 3X-C can be used in conjunction with all Aimpoint sights for long-range aiming or observation. Additionally, a variable (-2 to +2) dioptric setting allows this magnifier to be adapted to the individual shooter’s eye.

The 3X-C can also be used as a handheld 3X monocular. Aimpoint magnifiers utilize the red dot in Aimpoint sights as the aiming reticle, eliminating the need for re-zeroing when shifting between non-magnified and magnified aiming. The 3X-C is encased in a shock absorbing protective rubber cover that also creates an ideal ergonomic grip. Internal optical adjustments make aligning the magnifier and sight quick and easy.

High Tower Armory (HTA) released a new image of the design that shows how the knuckle guard is removable. The trigger guard remains intact but the knuckle guard that covers the rest of the grip may be removed by the end user.

HTA has also stated that they are trying to bring this to market for $200-300. The interest in this conversion has been intense when can help drive the price down.

The stock is initially slated to be released in Black, OD Green, and FDE. It will also be very lefty friendly with ambidextrous controls.

If you want to be sure to get your hands on one, you can join the mailing list at HighTowerArmory.com (lower left corner). HTA doesn’t take money on pre-orders but they will email those who have joined this list to ensure they get their hands on the stock when it becomes available.

Ballistic Advantage Teaser – Complete Uppers Soon?

By on October 20, 2016 in Guns

Ballistic Advantage just dropped a teaser image on their Facebook page (image below). It shows an AR-15 upper receiver with Ballistic Advantage branding and it includes a bolt carrier group and charging handle. Hopefully, this means they are getting back into the complete upper receive market… maybe even complete rifles.

Ballistic Advantage certainly has the production capability to offer complete uppers and firearms. In the not too distant past, they did offer complete uppers. I own two of them and they are excellent. Now, with the manufacturing backing of Aero Precision and their child brands like VG6 Precision behind them, they should be well positioned to get back into the market.

Generally, when Ballistic Advantage releases a teaser image, we don’t have to wait long before the pay off. Stay tuned.
