The Sightmark T-5 magnifier with LQD flip mount transforms your red dot or reflex sight into a variable-power optic without swapping glass mid-range. Mount it behind your primary sight and flip it to the side when you need 1x performance, or swing it into place for 5x magnification to stretch engagements to 200 yards. It's the kind of versatility AR shooters and tactical rifle users have wanted for years—absolute co-witness, quick-detach capability, and the speed to transition between close-quarters and distance work without fumbling.
Sightmark built the T-5 to survive hard use. The aluminum body shocks up to .308 caliber recoil, and multi-coated optics deliver crisp brightness and resolution in variable light. IP55 water resistance keeps rain and dust out of the works. The LQD quick-detach mount lets you remove the magnifier in seconds for storage or to run your dot unassisted. The streamlined profile is intentionally compact—0.7 inches shorter than comparable magnifiers—so it won't snag on your gear or drag on a barricade. External windage and elevation turrets dial your refractive index into true zero with your host sight, so there's no POI shift when you flip magnification in or out.
EOTech and Aimpoint users will find direct compatibility. Included adjustment tools and a manual cover setup and zeroing. Whether you're running CQB drills on a 3-gun course, hunting medium-range varmints, or building a flexible patrol rifle, the T-5 adds magnification on demand without the size penalty or complexity of a full variable-power scope.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Sightmark T-5 compatible with my Aimpoint or EOTech red dot?
Yes. The T-5 is designed to mount behind EOTech and Aimpoint reflex sights and provides absolute co-witness, meaning your sight picture stays consistent whether the magnifier is flipped in or to the side.
Can I use the T-5 magnifier on an AR-15 for hunting or tactical shooting?
Yes. The 5x magnification extends your effective range to 200 yards, making it suitable for AR hunting, 3-gun competition, tactical training, and general rifle work. The quick-detach mount lets you transition between magnified and unmagnified shooting in seconds.
What happens to my zero when I flip the magnifier in or out?
The absolute co-witness design means your reticle alignment remains true whether the magnifier is mounted or removed. External windage and elevation adjustments let you align the magnifier's point of view with your host sight during setup.
How durable is the T-5 for hard use?
The aluminum construction is shockproof up to .308 caliber, and the multi-coated optics are scratch-resistant. IP55 water resistance protects internal optics from rain and dust. The compact, streamlined design also reduces snagging on gear or equipment.
